Drilides. 
Drilus Jlavescens. Bellevoye (Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 4® ser. x.. Bull. p. xxxv) 
indicates Helix pomatia and nemoralis^ L., hortensiSf fruticuniy and (?) eri- 
cetorumy Miill., as the snails fed upon by the larva of this species. DESMAREs r 
(ibid. p. xxxvi) adds his experience that the $ has occurred in II. nemoralts, 
once in H pomatia. Be Marseul (Nouv. et faits div., no. 14) adds H. can- 
didula to Bellevoye’s list ; and A. de Perrin (ihid.) gives directions for the 
detection of $ Drilus, received by him from Lespes. 
Lucas (Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 4® ^<Sr. x.. Bull. p. Ivii) briefly describes the 9 
of a Malacogaster from Algiers, the larva of which attacks Helix dupoteti and 
H. lucasi, and which (having cf and $ ) he provisionally names M. hassii. 
Telephorides, 
Gemminger (C. II. vi. p. 120) makes the following alterations in nomen- 
clature : — Telephorus bilineatus (Boh. ?iec Say) to digrammicus) T. dichro^is 
(Mars, nec Lee.) to dissipatus j T. Jlavipes (Lee. nee F.) to gilvipes ; T. nigri- 
pennis (Sol. nec F.) to melanopterus T. prcecox (Philippi 7 iec G^n6) to 
philippii) T. planicollis (Lee. nec Kies.) to platyderus\ T. pusillus (Boh. nec 
Lee.) to piisio ; T. rujiceps (Kies. 7iec Blanch.) to rujicapitatus ; T. pictus 
(Cast, nec Wied) to sticticus) T, tibialis (l.,ec. nec Brulle) to tibiellus) T. 
collaris (I^ec. nec Sol.) to torquatus j T. terminalis (Bedt. nec Cast.) to ustus ) 
T. abdominalis (Sol. nec F.) to ventralis j T. vitticollis (Boh. nec M^n^t.) to 
zonatus. 
Telephortis mandibidaris, 'Khy.,=fraxini, Say: Lee., Ann. N. II. ser. 4, vi. 
p. 398. 
V. Rottenberg (B. E. Z. xiv. p. 241) gives distinguishing characters for 
Cantharis immaculicornis, Cast., and livida, 1j., which he asserts are specifi- 
cally distinct. 
Abeille de Perrin (Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 4® S(Sr. x. p. 81) describes at 
full length his Telephoi'us cornix, of which tlie diagnosis was published in 
Pet. Nouv., 1 Dec. 1869. 
Pettitt (Canad. Ent. ii. p. 117) records an example, from Ontario, of 
Podah'us punctatus (Kirby) with three antennae; the additional member 
being placed directly in front of the right antenna, and consisting of 10 joints, 
with a three-jointed branch from the base of the ninth joint. 
A larva, supposed to be that of a Telephorus, and proved to feed upon the 
grubs of the “Plum Curculio” {Conotrachelus nenuphar), is described and 
figured, with detail, in Amer. Ent. i. p. 35, f. 29. This is subsequently (p. 61) 
discovered to be the larva of Chauliognathus pennsylvanicus (DeG.), f. 51. 
Thomson (Sk. Col. x. p. 116) describes the hitherto unknown J of his 
Malihinus facialis.
