Dascillid^. 
The French Eascillidcs and their natural history are described by Mulsant 
6 Key (Col. de France, Brdvicolles). They divide their tribe Brevtcolles 
into the 2 groups Dascillides and EucinHides, the former including 3 families, 
namely Dascilliens (genus Dascillm'), Cyphoniens (genera Elodes, Microcara, 
Cyplion, IlydrocyplioUj Prionocyphon, and Scirtes), and Euhriens (genus Eubria)] 
wliilst the Eucindtidos include only a single family, Eucindticns^ and genus, 
Encinctm, Details of the following species are figured by Mulsant & Rey : — 
Eascillus cervtnus (Linn.), 1. c. pi. 1. figs. 1-6 ; Elodes pallida (Fab.), ibid, 
figs 7-17 ; E. marginata (Fab.), ibid. figs. 18-21 ; Microcara livida (Fab.), 
1. c. pi. 2. figs. 1-6 and 8-10 ; Cyphon, sp., post, tarsus and head, ibid. figs. 
7 & 11 j Cyplion nigriceps (Kies.), ibid, figs 12, 13, 20, & 25 ; C. fuscicornk 
(Thoms.), ibid. figs. 14 & 17 j C. coarctatus (Payk. ), fig. 16 ; C. nitidulus (Thoms.), 
fig. 16 ; C. variahilis (Thunb.), fig. 18 ; C. pallidulus (Boh.), figs. 19 and 24 ; 
C.padi (Linn.), fig. 21 ; C. putoni (Bris.), fig. 22. (Figs. 16-22 represent the 
base of the antennoe in the various species.) Also details of the genera Hydro- 
cyplion, 1. c. pi. 3. figs. 1-6, and Prionocyphon, ibid. figs. 7-14, and of Scirtes 
liemisplicericus (Linn.), 1. c. pi. 4. figs. 1-8 j Eubriapahistris (Germ.), ibid. figs. 
9-12 ; Eieinetus liccmorrlioidalis (Germ.), ibid. figs. 13-17 & 19 j and E. meri- 
dimialis (Lap.), figs. 18 & 20. 
Cyplion coarctatus (Schneid. nec Payk.) from Finmark = variabilis (Thimb.). 
L. von Heyden, Stett. ent. Zeit. 1866, p. 254. 
Helodes trilmeatus (Chevr.) is probably identical with H. marginatus (Fab.) 
according to Kiesenwetter, Berl. ent. Zeits. 1866, p. 243. 
Microcara boliemanni (Mann.), Cyplion pallidiventris (Thoms.), and C, 
nigriceps (Kies.) are recorded as British by Crotch (Cat. Brit. Col.). See 
Rye, Ent. Ann. 1867, pp. 80-81. 
Crotch (Entomologist, iii. p. 124) indicates the differences between Micro- 
cara bohemanni (Mann.) and livida (Fab.), which, however, he regards as 
probably forming one species. Crotch also remarks on the characters of 
1866. [voL. III.] z
