Ballion (Bull. Mosc. xlii. pp. 445-448) gives a list of spp. of TenthredU 
nidce described by Eversmann and King, and omitted from Kirchner’s Cat, 
Hymenopt. Europse. 
Puls (Ann. E. Belg. xiii, pp. 147-152) gives a list of the Tenthredinidcc

Costa, a var. of $ of Allantus luteocinctus, and 9 vars. of A. kdhleri, Kl. 
In protocol of 47th meeting of Soc. Imp. des Amat. des Sc. Nat. &c. Mos- 
cow, January 1870, pp. 213-225, is a description by Ereymuth of Tenthredi-

genus and 7 new spp., and varieties of Tenthredo viridis, L., Allantus con-

Newman (Ent. 80 Sc 81, p. 148) desci-ibes the larva of an unknown saw- 
lly which feeds inside the stem of the lady-fern, causing a quantity of froth 
to exude through lateral apertures. 
For observations on the ‘^Pear-tree slug” (larva of a saw-fly), see Saun- 
ders, Canad. Ent. ii. pp. 148 & 149. 
Bellevoye (Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 4e s^r. x. Bull. p. xxxvi) mentions several 
TenthredinidcB as proceeding from cocoons inclosed in species of Helix. He 
infers that their presence in such a habitation is only due to the accommo- 
dation aflbrded by the cavity of the shell. 
Morawitz (Hor. Ent. Boss. vii. Bull. p. xviii) records a Tenthredo with 
its right antenna bifurcated at the 3rd joint, from which a triarticulate sup- 
plementary branch proceeded. 
A neural aberration in anterior wing of Selandria socia, KL, is described 
by Bitsema, and figured, Tijdschr. Ent. 2nd ser. v. p. 182. 
Van Vollenhoven (Tijdschr. Ent. 2nd ser. v. pL 1. figs. 1-8) figures 
different stages of Nematus appendiculatus, Hart. ; Emphytus serotinus, KL, 
pi. 2 } Oimbex femorata (L.), pi. 3 ; and some of the earlier stages of C. hico- 
rum and sylvarum, Lophyrus pini, and ? Nematus ventricosus, pi. 4 j all which 
spp., with Nematus vallator and N. sep)tentrionalis, he discusses at some 
length, 1 . c. pp. 6G-74, 
Abia sericea is noted by Lock as feeding on Scabiosa succisa : Ent. 73, 
p. 20. 
Netnatus 2 ^^dun 6 idi, Htg. Miiller, Ent. M. M. vi. p. 184, gives details of 
the economy of this sp. 
Walsh and Biley (Amer. Ent. ii. pp. 45-50), in a general article on N.- 
American galls and their architects, describe the economy, and figure the 
larvae and galls of Walsh’s Nematus salicis pomum (f. 30), Euura salicis ovum 
(f. 31) and E. salicis gemma (f. 32). Saws of the former sp. are also figured 
in Amer. Ent. ii. p. 19, f. 10. 
Saunders (Canad. Ent. ii. pp. 13-17) records his notes and experiments 
upon the larvae of Nematus ventricosus, King, in Ontario. F or further oh-
