  The 
  author 
  gives 
  an 
  account 
  of 
  the 
  following 
  Clerid 
  beetles 
  from 
  

   Sweden 
  : 
  Thanasimus 
  formicarius, 
  L., 
  Corynetes 
  coerulens, 
  De 
  Geer, 
  

   Opilo 
  mollis, 
  L., 
  0. 
  domesticus, 
  Sturm, 
  Tillus 
  elongatus, 
  L., 
  and 
  

   Necrobia 
  violacea, 
  L. 
  The 
  larvae 
  of 
  these 
  species 
  are 
  described 
  and 
  a 
  

   key 
  to 
  them 
  is 
  given 
  with 
  figures 
  of 
  the 
  posterior 
  extremities. 
  

  

  The 
  following 
  additions 
  are 
  made 
  to 
  our 
  knowledge 
  of 
  their 
  biology. 
  

   The 
  larva 
  of 
  Thanasimus 
  formicarius 
  is 
  abundant 
  in 
  the 
  galleries 
  of 
  

   Myelophilus 
  piniperda, 
  L., 
  and 
  Ips 
  typographus, 
  L. 
  Young 
  larvae 
  

   occur 
  in 
  June 
  and 
  pupation 
  takes 
  place 
  in 
  August-September, 
  but 
  

   many 
  hibernate. 
  The 
  Clerid 
  larvae 
  prey 
  on 
  those 
  of 
  the 
  Scolytid 
  

   beetles. 
  The 
  larva 
  of 
  Opilo 
  domesticus 
  was 
  found 
  in 
  wood 
  in 
  the 
  

   Royal 
  castle 
  of 
  Kalmar 
  in 
  the 
  galleries 
  of 
  Anohium 
  striatum 
  on 
  the 
  

   larvae 
  of 
  which 
  it 
  preys. 
  The 
  small 
  heaps 
  of 
  frass 
  observed 
  on 
  the 
  

   surface 
  of 
  timber 
  and 
  furniture 
  attacked 
  by 
  Anohium 
  are, 
  as 
  a 
  matter 
  

   of 
  fact, 
  not 
  made 
  by 
  Anohium, 
  but 
  by 
  the 
  larvae 
  of 
  Opilo 
  ; 
  as 
  this 
  larva 
  

   itself 
  is 
  able 
  to 
  make 
  galleries 
  in 
  the 
  timber 
  it 
  cannot 
  be 
  regarded 
  as 
  

   wholly 
  beneficial 
  ; 
  it 
  is, 
  however, 
  very 
  predaceous, 
  as 
  the 
  great 
  number 
  

   of 
  empty 
  skins 
  of 
  Anohium 
  larvae 
  to 
  be 
  found 
  in 
  the 
  galleries 
  bear 
  

   witness. 
  

  

  The 
  larva 
  of 
  Corynetes 
  coeruleus, 
  a 
  species 
  which 
  Thomson 
  believed 
  

   to 
  have 
  been 
  imported 
  at 
  Gottenborg, 
  but 
  which 
  now 
  is 
  not 
  uncommon 
  

   in 
  the 
  southern 
  and 
  central 
  parts 
  of 
  Sweden, 
  was 
  also 
  found 
  on 
  the 
  

   same 
  occasion 
  preying 
  on 
  the 
  larvae 
  oi 
  Anohium. 
  As 
  this 
  larva 
  is 
  of 
  

   smaller 
  size 
  than 
  that 
  of 
  Opilo 
  domesticus, 
  it 
  can 
  hunt 
  the 
  larvae 
  of 
  

   Anohium 
  without 
  making 
  any 
  galleries 
  itself, 
  and 
  is 
  therefore 
  presum- 
  

   ably 
  more 
  beneficial 
  than 
  the 
  former, 
  but 
  on 
  account 
  of 
  its 
  comparative 
  

   scarcity 
  its 
  controlling 
  influence 
  is 
  not 
  important 
  in 
  Sweden. 
  

  

  Necrohia 
  violacea 
  hibernates 
  as 
  an 
  imago, 
  and 
  its 
  larva 
  is 
  found 
  on 
  

   carcases, 
  feeding 
  on 
  other 
  larvae.

  This 
  beetle 
  was 
  described 
  by 
  Sahlberg 
  as 
  far 
  back 
  as 
  1893, 
  but 
  only 
  

   provisionally, 
  as 
  only 
  females 
  were 
  found. 
  Subsequently, 
  it 
  was 
  

   discovered 
  in 
  two 
  different 
  localities 
  in 
  N. 
  Russia, 
  and 
  during 
  recent 
  

   years 
  again 
  in 
  Finland, 
  the 
  last 
  time 
  near 
  Gammelstad 
  on 
  Spiraea 
  

   ulmaria, 
  leaves 
  of 
  which 
  were 
  riddled 
  with 
  holes, 
  sometimes 
  only 
  the
