I do not possess, nor have I seen, a single specimen of H. sangiunea from the island of

les procedes employes pour extraire la cauthariiline tie la Cantharide, je n'ai obtenu aucun resultat ; peut-etre serai-je plus 

 heureiTX par la suite. Mes premieres recherches n'ont pas ete cependant completement infruotueuses, car je suis parvenu a 

 extraire de VHiiechys sanguinea la inatiere qui doune aux teguments abdominaus de cet insecte leur magnifique couleur jaune- 

 orange. Cette matiere, que j'appellerai le rouge d'Hnechys, est d'une couleur exactement semblable a celle de I'abdomen de 

 I'animal, comme vous pouvez le constater au moyen de rechantillon que je fais passer sous vos yeux. J^'Huechys sanguinea 

 renferme aussi, mais en plus petite quantite, une autre maticre eolorante jaune ires hygrometrique." — Btdl. Soc. Ent. Fr. 

 1888, pp. xxii., xxiii. 



* Walker records a specimen from Java presented by himself to the British Museum (List Hom. i. p. 251, 1850), but this 

 author was so often incorrect as to render it unsafe to make any fresh conclusion on his information alone.
