198 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



in Latin aud Ptussian a new dipterous ])ai'asite from Taurian 

 Belbek, bred from pupfe of Carpocapsa j^omojiella, L. 



Suodgrass (12) restricts the term "hypopygium" to the ninth 

 abdominal segment only — that is, the segment that carries the 

 intromittent and clasping organs of the male. The general 

 shape in the Tipulidas is that of a cup opening posteriorly, the 

 cavity being the genital chamber, which is produced simply by 

 the invagination of the posterior face of the segment, which 

 carries into the depression the tenth segment, which morpho- 

 logically terminates the abdomen. After a general description 

 of the parts, seventeen genera are discussed at length and 

 illustrated by one hundred and sixty-one figures. 



T. W. Kirk's report (13) is specially mentioned here, since 

 it contains (pp. 306-9) descriptions of three new Diptera by 

 T. Brown, viz. : Teplirites xanthoclcs, introduced from Earotoga 

 and Viti; Lonchcea splendida, introduced from New South Wales ; 

 and Drosophila ampelophila, from Australia. 



Miss Fountaine (14) describes a brief tour in Crete, and the 

 chase of Lyaena psylorita. Zander (15) discusses the genital 

 apparatus of Gastropaclia quercifolia. Schultz (16) catalogues 

 the known cases of gynandromorphism in palfearctic Macro- 

 Lepidoptera ; while Schroder (17) continues his papers on 

 pattern-phylogeny in the same order. Young (18) considers the 

 distribution of Indian butterflies. 



Hole (19) discusses very fully two dangerous enemies of the 

 teak-tree, viz., the moths Pyrausta macJiceralis and Ilyhhea puera. 

 There are five excellent plates, of which one is coloured. 



Malkoff (20) describes .the damage done to fruit-trees by 

 Tctigonia viridis ; while Miss Embleton (21) discusses at length 

 the remarkable Aleyrodid-like aphid, Ccrataphis latajiiw. This 

 has also recently occurred on Latania near Honolulu. 



Eohler (22) describes aud figures some sensory organs on the 

 antennae of Ac li da [Tryxalis). 



Enderlein (23-25) has published three interesting articles on 

 Psocidae, illustrated by excellent plates. No. 23 is prefaced by a 

 general introduction to the family. Kusnezov (26) discusses in 

 Russian the development of ocellated spots in the larva3 of the 

 sphingids Deilepliila nerii, Linn., and Pergcsa porcellus, Linn. 

 Pomerantsev (27) furnishes biological notes, also in Russian, on 

 Cantharidae and Tenebrionidae living under bark, and useful in 

 sylviculture. Two further papers in Russian (28 and 29) may 

 be commended to the Lepidopterist : Alferaki's contains critical 

 observations on Staudinger and Rebel's 1901 Catalogue, while 

 Yakhontov discusses at some length the variety intermedia of 

 Pieris napi.
