EPICAUTA PENNSYLVANIA De G. Pennsylvania! (fig. 18) is the smallestof the black blister beetles that occur in 18 specimens, the length varied from to 14mm., averaging mm., and the width from 2 to4 mm., averaging mm.; shape rather slender;color dull black. Fig. 18.—The black blis-ter beetle (Epicautapennsylvanica) : (Chittenden.) The egg resembles that of Macrobasis immaculata, but is much smaller. Triungulin Larva. Length of triungulin larva (tig. 19) about mm.; width about mm.,widest through the head about midway of its length, which is just behind theeyes, and tapering to the prothorax, into which it telescopes slightly; color,brownish yellow, translucent. In shape and general appearance it resembles thetriungulin of Macrobasis immaculata. None of the other larval stages have been secured, even the coarctate larva ofthis species having escaped recognition. life history and habits. Epicauta maculata Say. Oviposition. While on the staff of the Kansas ExperimentStation the writer observed oviposition by a fe-male of Epicauta maculata, as well as by a femaleof Macrobasis immaculata. Both were workingat the same time, being discovered only a fewyards apart in the edg
