Magdalinides. 
Desbrochers des Loges (L’Ab. vii.) monographs the European spp. of 
Magdalinus^ describing 23, of which 5 are treated as new. He points out 
that the claws are not, as stated by Lacordaire, simple in all the spp., M. 
carhonaritts, aterrimus^ and cerasi having a small triangular tooth at the 
base ; and that the tarsi are not 4-jointed, as the claws are let into a cavity 
at the apex of the 4th joint. The author (p. 31) describes a var. of M. du- 
plicatuSj Germ., under the name parallelocollisj from the Eastern Pyrenees, 
and gives the following synonymy: — M, Kiist., = mewmom’MS (Gyll., 
Fald.), p. 12 ; M. frontalis (Gyll.), var. $ , and punctirostris (Gyll.), var. 
<5*, = violaceus (Lin.), p. 26 ; M. punctipennis, Kiist., and linearis (Gyll.), 
var. Germ., p. 29; M. atrocyaneus, Boh., Sch., =car5ow«nMS 
(L.), var., p. 37 ; M. asphaltinus^ Q&i:m.y=iaterrimus (L.), p. 39. 
The following new spp. are described : — M. heydeni, p. 21, Frankfort-on-

Gymnetrides. 
Rupertsberger (Verh. z.-b. Ges. Wien, xx. p. 839) records some obser- 
vations on the economy of Gymnetron linarice (Pz.). 
Perris (L’Ab. vii. p. 36), with regard to Kaltenbach’s statement that 
Gymnetron antirrhini lives on Linaria vulgaris, states that the insect now 
usually known by that name lives in the capsules of different spp. of Verbascum 
(especially V. phlomoides). He considers either the Paykullian statement of 
habitat wrong, or that the modern G. antirrhini is erroneously named.
