MONOGRAPHIA CHALCIDUM, I4l 



profunde punctatus : prothoracis scutellum breve ; mesothoracis 

 scutum gibbum, scutellum magnum, apice acuminatum, supra 

 metathoracis prsescutum extendens ; metascutellum bene deter- 

 minatum, canaliculatum : abdomen subpetiolatum, convexum, 

 breve, latum, contractum : oviductus absconditus. 



Dalman has given an elaborate description of the external 

 anatomy of this genus, and has added the characters of several 

 species. He supposes Perilampus micans to be a parasite of 

 Lyctus canaliculatus and Dendrophilus picipes, particularly 

 of the latter.

 and May.

Fonscolombe's description of Perilampus violaceus agrees 

 very well with the above. Dalman says, that the 4 anterior 

 legs are yellow, the thighs blue. Panzer represents them as 

 entirely yellow. 



Taken by Mr. Newman, in company with the last.
