Brachimis and Casiionia pcnnsylvaiiica (Dej.) are figured in 
the American Naturalist (ii. p. 111. figs. 6, 7). 
Kraatz (Col. Ilefte, iv. p. 94) maintains the identity of Brachmus hery- 
tensis with homharda (Dej.). 
Casnojiia oUvierii (Biiq.). Fairmaire (Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 4® sdr. viii. pp. 
471, 472) publishes some notes on the habits of this species. 
Sphcerostylus. Fairmaire (1. c. pp. 765-76G) indicates the characters of the 
five known species of this genus. 
Ophionea chaudoiri (Boh.) belongs to Casiionia, according to Bedtenbacher 
(Reise der Novara, Zool. ii. Col. p. 4). 
Oomdina hinotata (Blanch.) and Lchia diiponti (Putz.) are referred to 
Saroihrocrepk by Redtenbacher (Reise der Novara, Zool. ii. Col. p. 7). 
Reiciie gives the following synonymy of species of this group (Col. 
Ilefte, iii. p. 1 ): — Cymmdis servillci (Sol.) = /m?m?rfl!Zi5 (Fab.); C, co7ifusa 
{Vcyi'on) — seri<pu7iciata (Rodt.); C, 7no7iticola {Ghoy Y.) — s{7iyula7'{8 (Ro- 
senh.) ; Brachmus be7'ytc7isis (Reiche) is distinct from B, ho77iha7'da (Dej.), 
with which it was identified by Schaum ; B. ho7fnha7'da (lW..^=77iutilatus 
(Fab.); B. ho7nharda (Dej., nec l\\.)=p)layiatus (Reiche); B. sichc77iita 
(Reiche)=var. cxplode7is\ B. at7'{co7'7iis (Fairm. nec T)e].) = ohscu7'ico7'7i{s

reus yra7idis {TAxxsm.,') — orie7\talis (Dej.). 
La7n]77'ias chrysocephala (Motsch.). Rye is inclined to identify this with a 
small race of L. chlorocephala found by him in Hampshire. Ent. M. Mag. iv. 
p. 190. 
Clandon has observed a specimen of Lehia chlo7-ocep1iala preying upon the 
Aphides in an Ants’ nest. The Ants were much disturbed. Bull. Soc. Ent. 
Fr. 1868, p. xxxix.

Brachmus. Ohaudoir (Rev. et Mag. Zool. 1868) describes the following 
new North -American species of this genus : — B. distmgiie7idus, p. 287, B. 
ste7i07nus, p. 291, B. suUccvis, p. 293, B. puhc7-ulusj\). 294, B. leptoco'us,^. 296 
(=?t'c?oa:, Lee.), B. 7’U(jipennis, p. 297, B. texa7itts, p. 299, B. jjhccocer'iiSj 
p. 300. Ohaudoir also notices a form sent to him by Leconte from California, 
under the name of B. lato'alis, but which he regards as possibly new, and 
proposes for it the name of B. lcucolo7na (7 c. p. 301).
