West Indies and Mexico under that term, it is possible that a few may 

 not belong to our fauna; Myelois bilineatella Rag., M. duplipmictella 

 Rag., Ortholepis jugosella Rag., Nephopteryx crassifasciella Rag., Mer- 

 opiera uvinella Rag. , Salebria subfuscella Rag. , Epischnia riiderella Rag. , 

 E. graniiella Rag.. E. /ulvitiigella Rag., Diviana eudoreella Rag., Sarata 

 nigri/asciella Rag. , Vilula serratilineella Rag. , V. basimactilatella Rag. , 

 Homoeosoma anguli/ere/la Rag., Aurora longipalpella Rag., MellisubLiptes 

 fuscolimbellus Rag., Navasota hebetella Rag. 



The following described without locality except N. America, 1 have 

 obtained as follows, so they certainly belong to our fauna : Acrobasis 

 palliolella Rag. from Canada, Nephopteryx rubrisparseila Rag. from 

 Texas, N. rhypodella Hulst {curvatella Rag.) from Illinois, and Salebria 

 niibiferella Rag. from Texas. 



The following species described from the United Suites or British 

 America are not in the catalogue in any way : Acrobasis nebulella Riley, 

 Nephopteryx subcanalis ^ a\k. , Slantira variegata Walk., Sebunta gut- 

 tulosa Walk., Benta expandens Walk., Nephopteryx semimvelia Walk., 

 Cutina albopiinctella Walk., Subrita } abrostolella Walk., Myelois coniella 

 Rag., M. altensis '^ ocke, Calera punctiiutibeiia K^g. Acrobasis demoteUa 

 Grote, Sebunta guttulosa Walk., — I am told = Botis illibalis Hb. 



Of the species which Mr. Ragonot has not seen I can with certainty 

 determine the following : Nephopteryx aurantiacella Grt. is Dioryctria 

 miniatella Rag., Neph. caligitiella Hulst is Acrob. comptella Rag., Mega, 

 edwardsella Hulst is Megasis polyphemella Rag., Aner. excantella Hulst 

 Xi Meg. pullatella Rag., Neph. perfuscella Hulst is Sarata dophjtei ella 

 Rag., Sperm, montinatella Hulst is Honora canicostella Rag., Neph. 

 cameella Hulst is Neph. inquinitella. Rag., A'cph. edmandsii Pack, is 

 Vilula dentosella Rag. In all these cases. Mr. Ragonot's names become 

 synonyms. Mr. Ragonol's generic references however are probably correct. 



My present intention is to make no criticism upon Mr. Ragonot's 

 references of the species of other audit )rs. I will only remark that on 

 the basis of Prof, Zeller's types in the Cambridge Museum his reference 

 of Prof. Zeller's species is not always correct. 



Notes on Cerambycid Larvae. 



The admirable work by the late Prof. J. C. Schioedte "De ineta- 

 morphosi Eleutheratorum observationes " published in 1 1 parts in Kroe- 

 yer's " Naturhistorisk Tidsskrift" (vol. I— XI, 1862 -1880,) contains by 

 far more than disconnected descriptions of Coleopterous larvae and their 

 illustrations. The work ought to be in the hands of everyone interested 

 in the early history of Coleoptera. The "Conspectus morphologicus "
