Abstract
IT is rather curious that the story which Mr. Ober was told in the Carribbees (NATURE, vol. xxii. p. 216) should be generally believed in Southern Brazil also, viz., that a large beetle “seizes a small branch of a tree between its enormously long nippers, and buzzes round and round the branch till this is cut off.” Only in the Antilles this cutting of branches is attributed to a huge Lamellicorn, the Dynastes hercules, and in Santa Catharina to a large Longicorn, the Macrodontia cervicornis.
