who feed them in return. He records Clarv/er fovcolatus ■with Formica 

 jiaca and C. lon/iiconiis with F. muhrata. Other beetles mentioned by 

 him in ants' nests are Loniechusa strmnosa and L. dentata [ = Dinarda 

 dentata) with Formica rufa { = F. saru/itim'a), L. paradoxa ( = Atemeles 

 paradoxus) with F. rubra [ = 2rijrmica rubra), Nitidula marf/inata 

 { = Aiiiphotiii vian/inata) with /''. niyra ( = Lam(s fi(liginosus), and 

 Hister (jKadratim { = H('tac'rins sesqiiicornix) with F. fusca. In 1823, 

 Wesmael, in a letter' to M. le comte de Dejean, describes Claviger 

 testaceuii living with Lasias jiavus and the secretion obtained by the 

 ants from the beetle. In 1835, Chevrolat mentions'* the capture of 

 lADiiecJiHKa paradoxa (^ = Atemel(!s 2)aradoxi(s), Hister (/lobidns [ = Abraeus 

 (jlobosm), and Psdaphus formicarius { = Batrisun renustas) vf'ith ants; 

 Hister qnadratus [ = Hetaerins sesquicorniii) with Myrmica unifasciata 

 { = Leptothorax nnifaaciata) and F. rufa { = F. sanyuined), Lomechiisa 

 strumosa, L. dentata [ = I)inarda dentata) with F. rufa {=F. san- 

 (fuinca), XaiithoUnus, sp. ? (probably atratus), Hister pyymaeus 

 ( = DendrophilHs pij(jmaeus), Monotoma cunicicollis, M. formicetorum, 

 Clythra larvae and cases, which he describes, and 2Iyrmechixenus 

 ( = Myrmecoxenus) subterraneus, which he describes and figures, with 

 F. rufa. In 1837, in an essay" on the genus JSlonotoma, Aube says 

 that M. eonicicollis and M. fonuicetorum are found with F. rufa in the 

 Bois de Boulogne. Erichson, in 1839, gives some useful notes^° on 

 ants' nest beetles, recording Batrisus renustus in company with 

 Furyuaa sinuata in an ants' nest in a hollow tree (probably Ladus 

 fuliyinosus), Myrmedonia Jiumeralis, M. funesta, and M. luyens with L. 

 fuliyinosua, M. limbata with L. fiava, M. canaliculata { = Astilbi(s 

 canaliculatus) with ants, Lomechusa paradoxa { = Atemeles jjaradoxus) 

 and L. emaryinata { = Atemeles euiaryinatus) with F. rubra ; Hister 

 quadratus [=:Hetaerius sesquicornis) with ants, and Dendropliilus 

 pyymaeus with F. rufa. Stephens^\ in 1839, only mentions with ants, 

 in England, Claviyer foveolatus with Formica fiara, Atemeles paradoxus 

 [ = Atemeles e)iiaryi)iatux) in nests oiF. rufa. and Dinarda dentata ( = D. 

 maerkeli) in ants' nests. In a paper^'- read before the Entomological 

 Society of London on September 3rd, 1839, Mr. F. Smith records the 

 capture of Atemeles emaryinatus, which ran out of a nest of F. rufa. 

 He says that species of Pella { = Myrmedonia) occur with ants, and that 

 he has found Pella humercdis imthe nests of F. rufa. In 1841, Schmidt, 

 in a paper^'^ on Clythra i-punctata and its nearest allies, describes the 

 myrmecophilous habits of the larvfe. In 1841 Maerkel records" some 

 31 species of coleoptera found with ants ; in a second paper"^ he 

 names some 284 species of insects found with ants, of which 274 are 

 beetles. F. Smith, in 1843, records^Hhe capture of Claviyer foveolatus 

 with Lasius fiarus at Mickleham by himself, Doubleday, Ingall, and
