Extract

The occurrence in Canada of that unique and interesting species, Thylodrias contractus Mots., which Felt (2) has dubbed “the odd beet1e”, is a matter worthy of note.

This species was first discovered in North America, in May, 1902, by Mrs. Annie Trumbull Slosson, who found the insects in a box of neglected entomological specimens stored in an old closet in her home in New York.
