scaly plates and caudal ^etae ; the triungulin from which it proceeded 
fed on the horny bag of Apis mellific'a. Another one assumed the 2nd 
form, fed on a paste of honey and young larvae of PoUstes. The third 
form also briefly noticed ; this is hexapod, and blind, or at all events has 
no manifest eyes. Id. Bull. Soc. Ent. Fr. (6) v. pp. clxiii. & clxiv. This 
third form again referred to, especially as to burying itself in order to 
change to pupa ; id. 1. c. p. cci.

Sitaris colletis, Mayet [Zool. Rec. x. p. 295]. A full account of its 
habits and metamorphoses, also of the habits of Colletes succinctus, on 
which it is parasitic, and of Epeolus tristis, Smith, also parasitic on the 
Colletes ; V. Mayet, Ann. Soc. H^rault (2) vii. pp. 191-208. Not satisfied 
with this publication, the author repeats it in Rev. . Montp. iv. pp. 
169-209, pi. iii., and again in Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. (6) v. pp. 65-92, pis. iii.

good specific distinctions between S. colletis and S. analis, Schaum.
