I have also found, May 30, on the leaves of the oak near Providence,the rolls made by the same species of Attelabus, apparently, but theywere slenderer than those of the Attelabus found upon the Fig. 65.—Rolls on oak leaf made by Attelabus bipustulatus.—Giaalev del. I have also found on the leaves of the oak at the end of May, nearProvidence, Grypiorhynchus bisignatus Say. It may prove to live at theexpense of this tree. INSECTS INJURING OAK-LEAVES. 205 284. Brachys (erosa Coleoptera ; family I have found this small Buprestid upon the leaves of theoak early in summer in Maine, and late in May near Provi-dence, R. I. It most probably miues the leaves of theoak, but its habits are not yet known. The late Mr. V. once wrote me that he had often found in Ken-tucky a Brachys larva (scarcely, if at all distinguish-able from that of B. cvruginosa) mining the leaves of oaks,but have never bred the beetle. We introduce a cut of B. ceruginosa, much enlarged, toillustrate a larva of this genus. 285. Brachys ovata Web.
