Bremi, 1. c. Isis, 1846. He gives a short description of sheath-bear- 

 ing larva), which leaves no doubt of their identity with the 

 1. of 3Ii/rrtoplLlla scatophora Ferris; he erroneously takes them 

 for the larvae of a Sciaphila which he calls jS'. cellaria n. sp. 



Ferris, 1. c. Ann. Soc. Entom. 2e s^rie, Vol. VII., 1849, p. 381, Tab. IX, 

 No. 6 (1. and details). Sc. unimaculata Macq., and a few 

 words on Sc. striata Meig. Some differences from my own ob- 

 servations have been noticed above (see p. 161). 



CEROPLATUS. 



REAUMUR, Memoires, Vol. V., p. 23, Tab. IV., fig. 11-18 (1. p. i. and de- 

 tails). Detailed and correct account of the transformations and 

 habits. Dufour calls the species Ceroplatus Reavmuri! n. sp. 



DuFOUR, Revision et monographie de genre Cerojjiafus ; Ann. des Sc. 

 Natur. 2e serie, Vol. XI., 1839, p. 193. Tab. V., fig. 8-25. 

 Five species of the genus are described, and a detailed account 

 on the transformations of one of them, C. tijjulo'Ules Bosc, given, 

 with anatomical details (1. c. fig. 21-25, 1. p. and details). 



Bosc, quoted in Diet. d'Hist. Natur. Vol. III., 1823, p. 403, in an 

 article of Audouin on Ceroplatus ; a translation of the passage 

 on C'er. carhonarius from Carolina has been given by me above. 

 (See Ceroplatus, p. 163.) A figure of this larva is to be found 

 in a previous (second) edition of the Diet, d' Hist. Natur., Tab. 

 B, 21, fig. 4, but I have not seen it. Bosc's article on Cer. 

 tipulo'ides, in the Actes de la Soc. d' Hist. Nat. de Paris. T. I., 

 p. 42, 1792, merely refers to the perfect insect. 



Wahlberg, Acta Holm. 1838 and 1848. The latter article is transla- 

 ted in the Stett. Entom. Zeit., 1849, p. 120-123, under the 

 title : Merktvilrdiger Instinct nnd Licldentwickehmr/ hd ciner 

 Schiredischen Miicken Art. The species is Ccropl. sesioides 

 Wahlb., found on Po7^])0)-us fonientarius. The transformation 

 and habits are described, and an account of the phosphorescence 

 of larv£e and pupa3 given.
