Zool. Ins. pi. 142), from New Granada. Calandra aurofasciatu, De Brenie 

 (Aim. Soc. Ent. Er. ii, 308, pi. 9, f. 7), from Columbia. 



Bertolini (De duobus insectis Ulmo campestri et Pyro malo infensis, in 

 the Nov. Comm. Acad. Scieut. Bononiens. 1844, vi, 460) describes the 

 natural history of Orchestcs ulmi, the larva of which burrows in the leaves of 

 the elm, and undergoes its transformation there also. The Beetle becomes 

 injurious to the trees by its excessive multiplication. Goureau (Ann. Soc. 

 Eut. Er. ii, 49) has described the transformation of Phytonomus rumicis. 

 Dieckhoff (Entom. Zcit. p. 383) has communicated notes waLianisgemellatits 

 and some allied species. Loew. (ibid. 417) has called attention to the 

 peculiar habits of the species ofLixus with the ends of the shards elongated 

 and bent upwards, viz. that they are fond of descending under the surface of 

 the water, especially when the sun is clouded. Leon Dufour (Auu. Soc. 

 Ent. Fr. ii, xi) has made some corrections of his former article on Chorac/us 

 sheppardi, which relate to the form of the oral organs. 



The development of Hylesinus trifolii, Mull., the grubs of which live in 

 the roots of Trifolium pratense, and are often injurious to clover-fields, has 

 been described by Schmitt. (Entom. Zcit. 389.) Letzuer (Arbeit, u. 

 Verand. Schles. Gesellsch. 64) has noticed three species of Eccoptogaster 

 on the elm. E. scolytus and multistriatus, which were intermixed, and 

 E. pygmaus, living only towards the tops of the trees. They had killed 

 the elm trees, wliich stood singly among the oaks and hornbeams in 

 the park of Scheitnig. He had found also Bostrichm (Cry plied us) aspe- 

 ratus, Gyll., in Silesia, in spruce firs, several of which had perished by its 

 ravages, the signs of which resemble nearly those of Cr. abietis. Hylesinus 

 pilosus occurred along with it. (Ib. 68.) 



CEKAMBYCINI. Synopsis of the Cerambycidce of Munich. (Dissert, 

 inaug. von. Jos. Kriechbaumer, Miinchen, 1844.) 



Of the group Prionii is a new species, CyrtognatJius huegelii, Kollar and 

 Redt. (Hiigel Kaschm. 550, pi. 28, f. 1), from Cashmere. Aulucopus robus. 

 tus, Heyden (Entom. Zeit. 15), from Turkey, is by Germar (ibid. 82) iden- 

 tified as Pr. serricollis, Motsch. 



The group Cerambycid<e\ia& received additions in a "Notemonographique" 

 by Guerin (Mag. Zool. Ins. pi. 146 ; Rev. Zool. 257), on the genus Ampld- 

 desmus, founded by Serville for Cer. analis, Oliv. (quadridens, E.) Three 

 new species are here added : A. nietii, from Mexico ; A. xanthomelas, Chevr. 

 (hoepfnen, Dej., torquatus, Kl.), do., and A. westermanni, from Guinea. 



New species besides are, Pteroplatus transversalis and nigriventris, De 

 Breme (Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. ii, 309, pi. 9, f. 3, 4), from Bogota; Clilorida 

 cincta, Guer. (Rev. Zool. 259), from Mexico; Callidium angustum, Kriech- 

 baumer (Dissert, p. 8, black, shining, finely pubescent, proiiotum rufous, as 

 broad as long, elytra rugose-punctured, bluish-green), from the environs of
