larva and pupa of the former, which is parasitic upon the larvte of Spondylis 
huprestoides and Criocephalus riisticus (Col.)* 
Laphria mcridionalis. Perris {1. c. p. 219) corrects numerous errors in Mul- 
sant’s description of the larva ; and remarks generally upon the fact that 
Laphria seems peculiarly parasitic upon the Buprestidce and Longicornia. 
Asilus. Perris (/. c. p. 220), recapitulating and correcting former descrip- 
tions of the larvae of spp. of this genus, notes their carnivorous and other 
affinities to those of the Tahanidce.

Micj'ophorus. Loew, 1. c. p. 260, refers to the relationship between this 
genus and Iteaphila,

scribes this species in all its stages, figuring the larva and pupa, with de- 
tails. He has observed the larva tearing and sucking the larvse and pupae of 
To7nicus.
