A crane-fly, Pachyrrhina species. drical, somewhat worm-like, of an extremely tough, leathery texture, and live underground on the roots of grasses, or in de- caying wood. In Europe they are known as 'wire-worms,' and are often seriously injurious ; but in North America none of the species have as yet proved very troublesome. It is probable that intelligent farm practice Avill be sufiicient to control any of the species likely to become injurious with us.
