hides ^ , with the right anterior tibia dilated at the tip, supporting' 

 three tarsi, two of which were united together at the basal joint. Akis 

 punctata, having the left antenna much shorter than the other, with 

 the two basal joints considerably enlarged, 9-jointed, and laterally 

 emitting two connected joints at the extremity of the second joint. 

 Oryctes monodon, having the head greatly swollen. A Lycus of Para- 

 guay, having the left antenna short, distorted, 9-jointed, the four ba- 

 sal joints enlarged, and emitting a short 4-jointed branch from the 

 basal joint. He also mentioned that Borckhausen had described a 

 Phalana with five wings, and Tiedemann a Melolontha with seven legs 

 in Meckel's Archives. 



The Senator Van Heyden also stated that he had discovered three 

 species of Xenos, two of which he had obtained from Polistes gallico, 

 namely X. Rossii, and a new species in which the branches of the 

 antennae were very unequal in length ; and the third, which is much 

 smaller than X. Rossii, he had obtained from a species of Odynerus 

 (0. auctus ?). He also stated that M. Van Roser had observed the 

 larva of a species of this genus in the body of Vespa vulgaris, and 

 that he had himself observed the dead body of the larva of X. Rossii 

 in the abdomen of Polistes gallica, the former being filled with minute 

 hexapod insects like Acari, but having the abdomen articulated. 



M. Van Roser exhibited various new species of insects from the 

 neighbourhood of Stuttgard. 



M. Charpentier exhibited a very extensive and splendid collection 

 of drawings oiLibellulidce, intended for a complete monograph of the 

 family.
