Patelka 1948 35 Aphelocona Sept. 9 Prisoner's Harbor, Santa Cruz I. Hammering at some object it was carrying, otherwise making no noise, when the "male" apparently saw it for the first time, and dashed at it, chasing it out of the willow grove. The third gay flew across an opening into an elm, where I collected it. It was an adult male, and was there again hammering at what proved to be a pine nut. When the male chased, he did not call. The female gave a frog note as the chase occurred - dr-r-r-r-ka-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi; not loud.
