anchorago (J.B.N.H.S., XX, pp. 177-8, pl. B), on Zicrona coerulea 
(t.c., pp. 333-6, 2 pl.), and on Erthesina fullo (t.c., pp. 571-3, 2 pl.,

Serinetha augur and abdominalis are said to be predaceous 
(Indian Insect Life, pp. 684-5). Green, however, points out 
(Trop. Agric., Dec. 1909, pp. 482-3) that they suck fruit and seeds, 
and are preyed upon by a mimetic Pyrrhocorid Antilochus nigripes. 
Mr. Beeson informs me that Serinetha augur, Fabr. is attracted 
to Kusum oil in October and December in Dehra Dun.

habits of Dindymus sanguineus (J.B.N.H.S., XVIII, pp. 596-7,

Henicocephalidae. 
Green’s observations on the habits of Henicocephalus teles- 
copicus are recorded by Distant (Fauna of Bntish India, Rhyn- 
chota, II, pp. 194-5). 
Henicocephalus basalis lives under bricks with small red ants, 
on which I believe it to feed.! Females, usually winged but 
' I have never managed to see this species feeding, but on one occasion a 
wounded ant was introduced unnoticed into a killing tube with one of them, and I 
have little doubt that it was introduced on the tip of the proboscis, from which it 
must have fallen off later.
