Common all over in meadows, nearly always short ; The accompanying drawing is copied from that in Jensen Haarup's work, with the abdomen changed to agree with my four specimens, in which it is slightly nar- rower and longer. My specimens were taken by sweeping a dry grassy hillside near Cat- ing's Pond, Maspeth, L. I., N. Y., June 7-20, the year probably 1909. They add, I believe, a new genus and species to our fauna, and it may be worth noting that maerkeli is the type of the genus. It is not improbable that this brachyp- teron has escaped attention from its resemblance to a nymph One good look at the dorsal side of the abdomen tells the mature creature the seeming wing pads being mature COLLECTING NOTES ON KANSAS COLEOPTERA. By Warren Knaus, McPherson, Kansas Abo'Ut six miles north of the Arkansas River in Reno County is a stretch of sand hills a mile or more in width, consisting of immense sand dunes, bare of vegetation, and caused by strong winds. The bottoms of these " blow-outs " contain pools of water except in very dry seasons The sand hill flora is quite different from that of the surrounding country, the margins of the pools and draws being lined with tall grass and sedges. The timber consists of scattered cottonwoods, willows and sand plums. The. Please note that these images are extracted from scanned pag
