That singular looking Hemipteron Ploiaria bi-evipennis, Say. Emesa longipes, Fab., whose appearance suggests a componnd between the Mantis and Walking-stick ; has been more fre-. quently observed, and more interest taken in it, and enquiries made about it than ever before, acme fine specimens of it having been brought to me for determination. As an illustration of the spreading of injurious species, Mr. C. P. Butler of London, Ont., reported his finding in large numbers Crioce^is 12-punctatns, Linn., on his asparagus the earlj' part of August. This is the first observation of it reported in this locality ; and so far •as observation went, it was then confined exclusively to his neighborhood. Mr. Butler kindly provided the society with a liberal supply of specimens for its collection. There are two species of injurious asparagus beetles, Crioceris asparagi, Linn,, and C. 12-pxmctatus, Linn., and they ?diflfer considerably in their appearance, and to some extent in their habits. Crioceris asparagi.
