950 (April, 
Trocalis nasuta, L. Campoloro and Biguglia. Perhaps the most 
singular of European locusts: I have some from the C. of Good Hope 
which do not differ. Pyrgomorpha rosea, Charp.; like the preceding, 
but with rose-coloured wings: rare. Paracinema bisignata, Charp. 
On aquatic plants: I found this also in the Landes, near Ychoux. 
Stenobothrus pratorum and 8. variabilis, Fieb. Stetheophyma variegata, 
Sulz.; common. Epacromia thalassina, Fab. Caloptenus plorans, Charp. 
Rare. . italicus, L.; everywhere, in countless myriads. Porthetis 
marmorata? Burm. Only in larval state; grass-green, with a yellow 
thoracic crest. Acridiwm tartaricum, L. Hills near Ajaccio. It is 
common at Marseille. Pachytylus migratorius, L. On desert shores, 
Biguglia. Abundant; flies more readily than most spp., and for a 
greater distance. It alights, however, after a short effort, and appears 
quite incapable of “ warping on the eastern wind” in the manner stated 
by poets and historians. Has any entomologist ever witnessed a real 
migratory movement of these locusts? P. cinerascens, Fab. P.nigro- 
fasciatus, Latr. Cidipoda insubrica, Scop. C.cerulans, LL. C. fasciata, 
Siebold. The blue or red wings of this genus, generally crossed by a 
black band, render them very conspicuous. Tettix subulata, A Wanye 2 
bipunctata, L. The name Tettin (= Cicada in Latin) is surely most 
inappropriate to these insects. 
I have many still in bottles of alcohol, and not examined ; but the 
above represent the most numerous and obvious species of Corsica.

FURTHER NOTES ON THE GICONOMY OF THE CHRYSIDES PARASITIC 
ON ODYNERUS SPINIPES. 
BY T. ALGERNON CHAPMAN, M.D. 
In Vol. vi of this Magazine (p. 153, et seg.), I recorded some 
observations on the Chrysides parasitic on Odynerus spinipes. I was 
then able to trace nearly the whole life-history of O. bidentata, but, 
with respect to C. neglecta and ignita, I was obliged to leave the ovi- — 
position and the earliest siages of the larva without any elucidation. — 
I again attacked the subject in the summer of 1870; and, though IT | 
did not succeed in clearing up the matter, I desire to record the result 
of my observations so far as they went. 
In 1869, I expressed my knowledge or want of knowledge of the . 
early stages of C. neglecta by saying that “ JT have not seen the egg of 
the latter, and do not know how or where it is laid; but it supplants that 
of O. spinipes, as, a few days after the mother wasp has closed her
