Perris (Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 4® s^r. ix. p. 466) records the larvae of 3Ior- 
dellistena grisea in stems of Ai'teinisia vulgaris^ and of M, incequalis in those 
of Daucus cu7'otta, upon the medullary substances of which they feed, without 
doubt ; he thinks Goureau probably wrong in attributing the destruction of 
larvae of Lixus and Agromyza, found in stems of Senecio aquatica, to the 
larva of M. subti'uncata. The larvae of Mcrdellistena are formed nearly as in 
Moi'della^ certainly lignivorous ; those of Anaspis like certain Oi'yptophagidcBf 
and live on detritus of other xylophagous larvae and are perhaps carnivorous :
