The new species Coccinella bridwelli described. 
Locality—Tahquitz Valley, San Jacinto Mountains, Califor-

A new entomological magazine has made its appearance, 
‘‘Insecutor Inscitie Menstruus.’’ The editor and publisher is 
Harrison C. Dyar of Washington, D. C. The object of this 
publication is ‘‘to dispel to some degree our general ignorance 
of the forms of insect life by descriptions of species and genera, 
life-histories, and other pertinent facts.’’ The January and 
February numbers have so far been published. They include 
short systematic articles, chiefly by Dyar and Frederick Kalb.

ON A NEW TERMITOPHILOUS GENUS OF THE FAMILY 
HISTERIDAL 
ERIC INJOEBURG 
Ent. Tidsk. Haeft. 1-2, 1912. 
This is the first termitophilous beetle from Australia. 
The body is short, broad, and shining. The head is not 
visible from above. The border of the fossa of the antena is 
visible from above and carries a distinct pencil of yellow hairs. 
The elytra are of a very peculiar shape, the humeral corner is 
strongly produced into a horn which carries at the top a long 
pencil of hairs. The beetle was found in a colony of the termite 
Eutermes. The animal was surrounded by workers and sol- 
diers. Apparently the hairs in pencils are hollow and secrete a 
semi-fluid substance. The termites gathered about these, suck- 
ing or eating the secretion. 
There are three line cuts and one fine plate.
