Indeed I have no personal knowledge of any, and Dr. Packard only mentions the following species which does not appear in our Canadian lists of Diptera. It belongs to a genus in which we have several well known destructive insects, popularly known as midges, such as the Wheat midge, C. tritici, and Clover-seed midge, C. lequ- mincola. 36. Cecidomyia aceris Shimer, on Acer dasycarpum, the silver maple. GOLEOPTERA. Of beetles we find quite a long list infesting the maple, species belong to the Cerambycidee, or long-horned beetles, a containing nearly all the large beetles of which the larva? are known as "borers," and of which species infest all our trees, although some trees, such as the pine and hickory, are much more infested than are the maples. 37. Glycobius speciosus, Say, is uni- versally known as the sugar-maple borer, and has been frequently referred to in our Reports (See ETos. Ill, VIIL, IX., XL and XII.)
