454 Messrs. E. A. ee and Claude Morley on the 
12. Cafius xantholoma, Grav. 
Mr, Frank Morey took six Platymischus dilatatus among 
this species on the beach at high-water mark in Fresh- 
water Bay, I. W., on August 31, 1906, and Mr. P. de 
la Garde found it beneath a stone on the river beach at 
Teignmouth in June 1909. 
128. XANTHOLINUS. 
“Mr. Smith exhibited the larva of a Xantholinus, to 
the underside of which were attached the pupae of a 
species of Proctotrupidae” (Proc. Ent. Soc. Meeting, 
May 4, 1868). 
12y, ANISOTOMA CINNAMOMMEA, Panz. 
I have seen a small 2 Alysiid, bred by Donisthorpe 
from truffles together with this beetle, though the 
parasitism was not established.—(C. M., ii, ’08.) 
13. Teretriws picipes, Fab. 
Walker simply remarks (Ent. Mag., 1838, p. 141) that 
Dalman “supposes Perilampus micans to be a parasite of 
Lyctus canaliculatus and Dendrophilus yicipes, particularly 
of the latter” (cf Swed. Trans., 1822, p. 402). Nees, 
however, is much more explicit (Hym. Mon., ii, 49): 
“In Westrogothia, in fulcris aedium, quercinis, a Lycto 
canaliculato et Histere picipede perforatis, e foveolis illorum 
serena die provenientem a se captum esse, b. Dalmanus 
memorat, argumentum inde hauriens hanc speciem meta- 
morphosin in /isteris picipedis larvis subire. Scilicet 
cum nulla sibi ab ullo collectore hujus insecti exempla 
unquam missa sint, neque id a se inventum nisi in illis 
fulcris, in quibus Hister picipes degeret, cum Lyctus 
canaliculatus ubique fere vulgaris hoc consorte liber omnino- 
videatur, ab infrequentia dicta Histeris etiam pendere 
Perilampi, hujus consortis, exiguam per orbem copiam. 
Nos autem simillimum ejus prope Sickershausen, ubi 
Hister picipes perquam rarus occurrit, Junio, Julio et 
Augusto mensibus in floribus, praesertim umbellatarum, 
v.c. Pastinaceae, plus una vice cepimus.” Is Teretrvus 
simply inquiline in the Lyctus burrows ?
