Vul. I, by W. L. Distant, is familiar, will find this bug on page 255. Practically 

 all entomologists used the teim PinLifomtclce for this family and the author's 

 use of Ciiiiicidce may be for this reason somewhat confusing to our Indian 

 readers. 



The description given of the life history of the Chrysomelid beetle HaJtica 

 coprulea agrees with that of its ally L''i!tica cynvei in India, the fucdplant 

 being also the same : as the bug also occurs in India, it will be interesting to 

 know whether its habits are the same and as Unttica cyi-nea bieeds freely on 

 Amm-inn>a in October, some observer may be able to find Zecrowa predaceoua 

 on it in India also. EDS. ]
