The author gives a list of species of this group which he has not seen (/. c. 
pp, 273-281), and adds Phyt. rogenhoferi (Ferr.) to his list, placing it in 
Phytonomus pr. P. ovatipennis, lineatocollis, and minutus (Blanch.), from 
Chili, do not belong to the Hyperides, and P. Ulliputanus (Luc.) is referred 
to the Erirhinides. In conclusion Oapiomont reprints Walton’s synonymy 
of the British species of this group. The figures accompanying this paper 
represent the cocoons of Coniatus siiavis, Hypera tessellata, and Phytonomus

Balanides et Anthonomides. Desbrochers des Logos has published (Ann. Soc. 
Ent. Fr. 4« S(5r. viii. pp. 331-368 and 411-470) a monograph of the European 
species of these groups, omitting Acalyptiis and Orchestes, the latter already 
treated by Brisout de Barneville, and the former referred by the author to 
the Tychiides. The genera admitted by him are Palaninus, Antho}io7nus, 
Pradyhatus, and a new genus, which he names Pseudomorphus. Balaninus 
includes 17 species, of which 3 are described as ncAv, B. ylandium (Marsh.) 
is regarded as a distinct species (Germ.) j B. tesselatus (Fourc.) = 
turhatus (Gyll.), B. villosus (Fah.) = co7'difer {Fourc.)= co'asorum (01iv.) = 
tenuirosti'is (Steph.), B. I'uhidus (i3(y\\.)—hetidce (Steph.), B. crux (Fab.) = 
salicis (Panz.), B. hrassicce (Fab.) = salicivoi'us (Gyll.), B. pyn'hoceras 
(Marsh.) inch hrunneus (Marsh.) j B. pedemontanus, rh<xticus, and crucifer 
(Fuchs) are not referred to by the author. Of the genus Anthonomus the 
author describes 25 species, the first of which, A. I'ectii'osti'is (Linn.), is sepa- 
rated as a subgenus under the name of Furcipus, characterized by having the 
femora bidentate. The author suggests (p. 413) that it will probably form 
a distinct genus. Of the other species, 9 are described as new. Of the 
known species A. I'ectirostris (fJimi.^ — druparian (Linn.), A. nihi (Herbst) 
=iohscui'us (Steph.) (Marsh.), A. sorbi (Gevm.) = oxyaca?ithcs 
(Boh.), A. varians (Pa.jlL.)—mela7iocephalus (Fab.), A. pediculai'ius (Linn.) 
— melanoccp)halus (0\\y. ')==fasciatus (Steph.), A. pomorum (Linn.)= 
(Steph.), A. undulatus (Gyll.) = (Perr.) j A. terreus (Schonh.) and 
helopioides (Kolen.) are unknown to the author. Desbrochers’s genus Pseudo- 
morphus is a dismeniborment of Bradybatus (Germ.), and founded upon 
Anth. elonyatulus (Boh.) = fallax (Gerst.)=«m76‘ (Chevr.)j this group has also 
been proposed by Marseul under the name of Nothops, which must be retained, 
as Pseudotnoiphus is preoccupied. Bi'adybatus includes the 3 known species. 
Apion. Pandelld (Mat. pour la Faune des Col. de France, pp. 183-185) 
gives a synoptical table of the group of species allied to A. ulicis (Forst.). He 
includes in this group A. difficile (Jlexh&i) , fimiculare genistcx (Kirby), 
fuscirosti'e (Fab.), and 1 new species. 
Apion. Frauenfeld (Verb, zool.-bot. Ges. in Wien, xviii. pp. 158-160) 
notices the metamorphoses of the following species of this genus : — A. loti 
(Kirby), A. schmidti (Mill.), A.fagi (Linn.), A. cai'duonim (Kirby), A, i7ii- 
niatiwi (Schonh.), and A. onopo7'di (Kirby).
