In former years I had found this beetle, the largest and most conspicuous weevil of our fauna, to occur only upon beeches, as noted in my sketch of the Rhyncophora, in Eleventh Annual Report. Such, also, was Mr. Chittenden's record [Ent Am., Vol. VI., 168]. Its infestation of the twigs of oak had been recorded by Riley, who described the larva. Its occurrence upon hickory is noted by Mr. Beutenmuller [Can. Ent., XXII., 201], and it is known as injurious to apple and other fruit trees. On June 9th. 1895, I observed a pair in coitu upon the trunk of a hickory (Carya amara), where there were no beech trees near by, and on carefully examining other hickories in the immediate vicinity I found five more pairs.
