JBibio marci. Laboulbene, Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. (5) ii. p. 209, notes its ap- 
pearance in large numbers in Paris, in April and May 1872, and refers to its 
economy. Lucas, ibid., Bull, p, xliv, quotes a similar account from the 
journal * La France,' in which it is referred to the Ichneumonidce ! On its 
occurring in immense abundance at Brighton, cf. G. D. Rowley, Ent. vi.

CULICID^. 
Culex. C. Rondani, Bull, Ent. Ital. iv. p. 29 et seq., analyzes the Italian 
species, with the conclusion that there are 12. Of these he gives a diclio- 
tomous table, indicating as new C. articulatus, alhipunctatus, petiicillaris, pid- 
chritarsis, pulchripalpis, and spathipalpis. None of them are described, but 
the characters inferred from their position in the table are possibly meant to 
be equivalent to descriptions.
