All enlarged. (From U. S. Dept. Agric. Bureau of Entomology—Bui. No. 108.) Phlepsius apertus Van Duzee. Phlepsius apertus Van Duzee, Am. Entom. Soc. Trans. XIX, y6, (1892). This is about the size and much the appearance of irroratus, dark gray in color distinctly irrorate but with a more distinct pale band across the elytra near the base. It is most positively known by the wide deep excavation of the middle part of the last ventral segment of the female. Length 6 mm. The species seem'S to replace irroratus throughout the northern part of the state, especially where irroratus is rare or in some localities appar- ently wanting. It was taken in fair numbers at the base of Mt Katahdin Aug. 22nd and in abundance at Houlton Aug. 24th, Mars Hill Aug. 25th,.
