compreaaua, Hoplocampa fidvicor?iia, Lyda nemoralia and pyri, and Nematua 
ventricoaua : Kiinstler (Verb. z.-b. Wien, xxi. Beih. pp. 44, 22, 77, 65, 83, 
76 & 77) discusses injuries caused by these spp. to cultivated plants. 
Van Vollenhoven, Tijdschr. Ent. (2) vi, pp. 237-254, pis. 10-12, gives a 
further small instalment of his Inlandsche Bladwespen,” by describing 
(with notices of economy) and figuring two new spp., and Cryptocampua 
anguatua^ Htg. (pi. 12. figs. 1-4), from stems of Salix cinei'eaj and C. 7nu- 
cronatiiaf Klug (i’6. figs, a-d), from galls on twigs of Salix. 
Lower-Harz district : Rudow (S. E. Z. xxxii. pp. 381-395) enumerates 
spp., describing some as new and giving a few synonyms. 
London district : Healey (Ent. v. p. 365) gives a meagre list of spp. 
Parasites : many Ichneumonidce are enumerated by Brischke in Schr. Ges. 
Konigsb. xi. p. 65 et aeq. 
The rarity of the male sex in many spp. of Tenthredinidce^ in connexion 
with parthenogenesis, is commented upon by v. Siebold, ‘ Beitriige ’ &c. 
pp. 226 - 228 . 
Lophyi'ua pini : the occurrence of an unexpected second brood of this sp. 
is recorded by Ileylaerts, Tijdschr. Ent. (2) vi. p. 145. Tacchetti (Riv. sci.- 
ind.) refers to a successful method of getting rid of this pest by beating over 
sheets and the use of burning pitch. 
Eiiura gallce (Newman) : under this name Healey (/. c. p. 366) refers to a 
gall-eater on Vaccinium vitiaidceaf from Scotland. 
Nematua ventricoaua. v. Siebold, ^Beitriige’ &c. pp. 106-130, and SB. 
bayer. Ak. 1871, p. 233, note, et aeq., gives details of exhaustive experiments 
on various broods, finally concluding that not only is this sp. capable of 
propagation by parthenogenesis, but, as in Veapa and Polistea, such par- 
thenogenesis is associated with Leuckart’s ai'rhenotocy (for which he pro- 
poses to adopt Breyer’s term androgeneaia, referring to the power possessed 
by the unimpregnated ova of producing male individuals). Stieda (SB. Ges. 
Dorp. iii. p. 133 et aeq.) gives an account of its economy. Damages caused
