210 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 
Dr. Power is of opinion that Latheticus, being an imported 
insect, can scarcely be said to be naturalised. This is probable, 
but in any case it is in a fair way to establish itself in our 
storehouses, for the number I met with in the small sample from 
the granaries, sent to me by Mr. Fitch, was over forty. It has 
also been met with by Mr. V. R. Perkins in a sample of wheat 
from Croydon, and in other places since. My last coleopteron 
brings the total number of Calandra’s associates found by myself 
to eighteen distinct species, irrespective of C. granaria and 
C. oryze; and with Mr. Fitch I quite think the store is not yet 
exhausted, and will well repay further labours. As usual, this 
sample contained a large quantity of Acaride, as also of various 
larvee, probably coleopterous, and some eight or nine specimens 
of immature Hemiptera; but of hymenopterous parasites I saw 
none, although I kept the refuse nearly six months. 
The following is a complete list of the Coleoptera found :— 
Calandra granaria, Linn. Gibbium scotias, Fab. 
C. oryze, Linn. Rhizopertha pusilla, Fab.
