Bacillus. J. Wood-Mason, Ann. N. H. (4) xii. p. 347, states that the 
true males of B. insignis and its allies are to be sought in insects of the 
type of Loncliodes stilpnus, &c., and that the discovery of the male of 
B. insignis necessitates the transfer of B. cunicularis and hyphereon 
(Westwood), B. patellifer and scytale (Bates), B. ramosus (Sauss.), B. 
pentliesilea and fiircillatus (Wood-Mason), and probably also B. loood- 
wardi and scahriusculus, to the genus Lonchodes. The true male of B. 
insignis (now called Lonchodes) is described at p. 348.
