THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 305 



The black hue at the lips of the elytra of Telephorus 

 melanurus covers more of the surface than it does in more 

 northern specimens. 



Naples. — Coleoptera : Coccinella bipunctata, Anlhaxia 

 funerula, Sitoues gressorius. Orlhoptera: Acridium Tatari- 

 cum, QEdipoda caerulans. Diptera : Anthrax lacchus. 



Sitones gressorius was found on Vesuvius, at above half 

 the height. Anthaxia funerula and Anthrax lacchus were 

 in Capri. 



Florence. — Coleoptera : Ocypus oleus. Hemiptera : Rha- 

 phigaster purpurascens, Strachia oleracea, Miris longicornis, 

 Capsus Chenopodii. 



Lucca. — Coleoptera: Lampyris Zenckeri, Dasytes bipus- 

 tulatus, liarinus Carlinae, Clytus floralis. Hemiptera: (jop- 

 tosoraa globus, Centrocoris spinigera, Coreus denticulatus, 

 Therapha Hyoscyarai, Miris longicornis, Capsus binotatus, 

 C. scriptus, C. Chenopodii, C. niiniatus. 



Lampyris Zenckeri is a little larger and broader than the 

 English glow-worm. The flight of the male begins rather 

 earlier in the evening than that of the fire-fly. 



Baths of Lucca. — Coleoptera: Athous longicoUis. He- 

 miptera: Miris virgatus, M. holsatus, Phytocoris Ulmi, 

 Capsus Chenopodii. 



Ravenna. — Coleoptera : Larinus Carlinae, Cleonus ophthal- 

 micus. Orthoptera: CEdipoda flava. Hemiptera: Strachia 

 picta. 



Bellagio. — Neuroptera: Ephemera glaucops. Hemiptera: 

 Miris longicornis, Capsus Chenopodii, C. scriptus, C. mi- 

 niatus. Hymenoptera: Perilampus Italicus, Eucharis ad- 

 scendens. 



I am indebted to the Rev. A. E. Eaton for the name of 

 Ephemera glaucops ; the specimens seen were in the sub- 

 imago state. One male and one female were all that I saw 

 of Eucharis adscendens : Spinola says that it is almost 

 gregarious in Populus tremula. 



This author, whose writings have contributed so much to 

 the knowledge of aculeate Hymenoptera and of Chalcidias, 

 also observed Cynips and galls, but doubted whether his 

 knowledge of them was clear: — "Much concerning Cynips 

 and galls rests unobserved, and I do not dare deliver ray 

 disquisitions, because they seem to me immature, and very
