 M, Desbrochers des Loges, in his Monograph of the 

 European Balaninidce and Anthonomidce, Ann. de la Soc. 

 Ent. de Fr., viii, 1868 (Ent. Mo. Mag. v, 218), makes the 

 above changes of nomenclature; — following De Marseul in 

 the case of ^. glandium. 



154. Balaninus cerasorum, Hbst. 



Referring to the remarks in Ent. Ann., 1869, on the sup- 

 position that this insect is the female of ruhidus, Gyll., 

 originating through the capture by Mr. F. Smith of both 

 species at the same time, on the same tree, and (as that 

 gentleman appears to have erroneously imagined) in copuld, 

 I may, to the counter-arguments adduced in my notice, add 

 the negative testimony of M. Desbrochers des Loges' separa- 

 tion of the two insects without further comment than the 

 enumeration of their diagnostic characters (Ent. Mo. Mag., v, 

 218), and the positive evidence of the capture by Dr. Power, 

 during the past year, at Esher, on birch, of both B.cernsorum 

 and B, ruhidus at different times, B. ruhidus being the later 

 of the two. Dr. Power has found the sexes of each species, 

 as verified by their being in copuld.
