Bellevoye has found in the Moselle, among the roots of Myriophylluniy 
tlie larvoo and pupa3 of a species of Ilccmonia. The pupce are enclosed in a 
transparent case, quite dry within, and buried in a semifluid mud. Bull. 
Soc. Eutr Fr. 18G8, p. Ixx. 
Reiciie notices the species of HcDmonia detected by Bellevoye, and de- 
scribed by him under the name of JL mosellcHy and states that the species has 
also been taken near Strasbourg. It has joints 1 and 2 of the tarsi subequal, 
a character said by Lacordaire to be peculiar to the species living on marine 
plants. Laboulbfene states that the larvfe resemble those of Dmacia, and 
consequently by no means agree with Lacordaire’s description (Bull. Soc. 
Ent. Fr. 1808, pp. civ-cv).

SuFFRiAN (Stett. ent. Zeil. 1868, pp. 170-176) remarks upon the syno- 
nymy of various species of Cryptocephalus \ — C. hetulce nance (Schill.)=C. 
V)-punctatm (Linn.) ; C. 4,-siynatus (Hej., Suff.) is a North- American species, 
and perhaps a variety of C. sellatus (Suff.)=tioiattis (Kirb. nec Fab.). Spe- 
cimens of two distinct species are sent from France under the name of C. 
ochroleiicus (Fairm.). Suffrian indicates their differences and describes one 
• of them as new. He also describes a new species from Sicily, and proposes 
the name of C. luridicollis {1. c. p. 174) for C. macuUcollis (Muls. & Rey), as 
there is already a C. mactdicoUis (Walk.). On pp. 176, 176, Suffrian tabu- 
lates the above-mentioned and some allied species, namely, C. minutus, pu- 
sillusy populiy macclluSy and poUtus. 
Oreina. Bellier de la .Chavignerie publishes (Bull. Soc. Ent. Fr. 1868, 
pp. ci-cii) a note on the Pyrenean species of Oreina. He enumerates O. 
nigrina and luctuosa (Suff.) and O. nigriceps (Fairm.). 
The observation of Tappes on the eggs and larvae of Cryptocephalus are 
translated by Rye, Ent. M. Mag. iv. pp. 189, 190. 
Doryphora IQ-lineata. This species, which has of late years attacked the 
potatoes in the United States, where it is known as the ‘^New Potato Bug,” 
is noticed in numerous articles in the Practical Entomologist (vol. i. 
pp. 1-4, 84, 85, 88, 89, and vol. ii. pp. 13-16, 101, 102, and 116). 
Colaspis Jiavida (Say). For its habits see Walsh, Pract. Entom. ii. 
pp. 68, 69. 
Phratora cavifrons (Thoms.). Sharp records its occurrence in Britain.
