striatum 01.), and Cis boleti Scop.*, the cloaca] stalk, according to Stein, is 
dorsal to the " ovipositor/' and it is therefore in a reversed position in 
brunneus and linearis. But in the case of other females somewhat distantly 
related systematically, such as Helops (caraboides Panz.) striatus Fourc, 
(Edemera {virescens) lurida Marsh, and Cistela fusca, the cloacal stalk, 
according to the same authority, lies below the " ovipositor," and, as in 
brunneus and linearis, it arises from the venter. 
It might also be observed that in Anobvmn punctatum De Geer, Stein 
describes two accessory glands — in the female, of course. One is unpaired 
and the other paired, the former lying ventral to the " ovipositor " and the 
latter pair apjDarently arising from within the inner sheath of the " ovipositor." 
Pygidial glands, such as have been found in both sexes of brunneus, are not 
mentioned by Stein. 
Note on the Morphology of the Apes of the Abdomen in 
Ltctus bsunneus Steph. 
This note is based upon a close study of the sections previously referred to, 
and of a series of balsam mounts of pupse in various stages of development, 
as well as various preparations made from the beetles.

* The opportunity to examine specimens of Cis boleti Scop, has recently occurred, and the 
cloacal stalk was found to be ventral to the ovipositor, as in brunnetis.
