 Longicorn syDaposematic association into which enters ttie 

 Clerid CaUimerus myslicus, Gorh. 



"This Longicorn association is composed of 

 (i) The common and almost certainly highly distasteful 

 Cerambycid, Oaloclytus annularis, Fab. Figured by Mr. 

 Shelford ae Chlorophorus annularis (I. c, pi. xx, f. 31). 

 (ii) The Lamiid (Sub-family Phytoeciinae) Daphisia elytoides, 

 Gahan. 



"This species, kindly described by Mr. C. J. Gahan in 

 the appendix to (his paper, was figured by .Mr. Shelford as 

 Daphisia sp. ( (pi. xx, f. 31).

 little Longicorn winch bore a remarkable resemblance to the

 he proposes to describe it (or has already described it) under 

 the name of Plaxomicrus hispoides* (Phytoeciinae). I send
