464 Messrs. ie Elliott and Claude Morley on the 
73. Cerambyx. 
“Sir §. S. Saunders exhibited Scleroderma domestica, 
Westwood, received from M. André, bred from the larva of 
a longicorn beetle” (Meeting Ent. Soc., Nov. 2, 1881) ; 
and read further notes respecting it (Meeting, Dec. 7, 
1881). 
74a. OXYPLEURUS NODIERI, Muls.* 
An account of the ektoparasitism of Scleroderma donves- 
dicum, Latr., upon this rare longicorn at Arcachon, Gironde, 
is given in Proc. Ent. Soc., 1881, pp. xl cf xxxili:—Rev. 
Pere Belon found about a dozen larvae on a single host 
(cf. also Kief., Proct., 1, 238). 
75. Aromia moschata, Linn. 
Polysphincta lignicola is also given as parasitic upon 
Cerambyx moschatus by Dours (Cat., 67). No doubt can 
be felt that Bouché is in error in recording (Stett. Ent. 
Zeit., 1847, p. 164) the well-known parasite of fossors, 
Perithous mediator, Fab., from this species. On August 3, 
1908, Morley received from Mr. Roland Smith a perfect 
¢ of this beetle, taken recently by the Lea at Clapton, 
from which two ichneumonidous larvae had emerged the 
day after he had killed it with chloroform ; no knowledge 
could be gleaned of the nature of the larvae, which, 
however, go to prove the species not immune from attack 
in Britain. Elhott captured a Q EHphialtes heteropus at 
Matley Bog in the New Forest, at a spot where this 
beetle is abundant, in June, 1907. 
75a. PURPURICENUS KOEHLERI, Linn.* 
From this beautiful species Giraud telis us (Verh. z.-b. 
Ges., 1854, p. 605) that Perris has bred the Evanuid, 
Aulacus striatus, Jur. 
16, Hylotrypes bajulus, Linn. 
Dalla Torre points out (Cat. Hym., iii, 588) that Cryptus 
seticornis, Ratz. = C. cyanator, Grav., was also raised by 
Ratzeburg from this species; but his authority is obscure.
