characters only, no adults having been found when the Aphid host 

 was examined on Viciafaba. Uv.cimdella eriosomiperda may destroy 

 as many as 15 per cent, of the woolly aphis. Adelgimyza, gen. n., 

 closely resembles Silvestrina, KiefE.

Adelgimyza tripidiperda, sp. n., was taken on olive branches infested 

 with Phloeothrips oleae and another species of the same genus that 

 may be undescribed. The larva of Trilohiella siphae, gen. et sp. n., 

 feeds on Sipha maidis infesting maize. Aukicaspis rosae infesting 

 Rosa spp. and Rubus spp. is attacked by Cecidomyella aulacaspidis, 

 gen. et sp. n. The characters distinguishing this new genus from 

 Cecidomyia, Meig., and Hyperdiplosis, Felt, are given.

 apparatus for preparing poison-bran mentioned in a previous paper 

 [R.A.E., A, vii, p. 535].

The Elaterid, Cardiophorus gdrineri, Schwarz (1901), captured in 

 Thuringia in 1899, is stated to be identical with C. raffrayi, Schwarz 

 (1890), from East Africa ; it seems certain that this specimen was 

 imported in a shipment of plants. The weevil, Sternochetus mangi- 

 ferae, F., was found in 1914 in the nuts occasionally occurring in bales 

 of clove stems from Zanzibar. 



A large Bruchid of the genus Caryoborus was taken with its larvae 

 from Brazil nuts at Sattelstadt. A smaller species, provisionally 

 identified as Pachymerus (C.) gonagra was imported from the East 

 Indies into Thuringia in a shipment of acacia pods. Brnchns {Pachy- 

 merus) chinensis and B. (P.) quadrimaculatus did much damage to 

 Indian forage peas in bags imported into Holzminden. Beans imported 

 into Erfurt from the south of France were infested with Bruchus 

 {Acanthoscelides) obtectus. Say. In the same city a smaller species, 

 believed to be B. fetrichus, Schh., and two other undetermined 

 Bruchids were found in acacia seed from the East Indies.
