Myodites. Leconte (Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phil. 1865, pp. 96-98) charac- 
terizes the 6 species of this genus known to him as inhabitants of the United 
States. The previously described species are M. scoher (Lec.), M. fasciatus 
(Say), and M. stylopides (Newm.) ; the other 3 are new. A seventh North 
American species is M. americanus (Gu^r.), with which Leconte is unac- 
quainted.

Leconte remarks upon an objection raised by Gerstacker to 
the arrangement of the Stylopidas under the order Coleoptera, in 
which the latter author inquires what characters has a Strepsi- 
pteron in common with a beetle? Leconte replies : — 1. Hyper- 
metamorphosis of the larva {Meloidm) ; 2. Parasitism {Rhipi- 
dim) j 3. Eetention of the pupa within the skin of the larva 
[Lampy rides y tribe Lycini) ; 4. Unfitness of anterior wings for 
flight ; 5. Large development of mctathoracic segment.

Eeiche (Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 4® ser. v. pp. 628-642) publishes a classification 
of the species of Mylahris (Fab., Lac.) in his collection (76 in number) founded 
solely on the structure of the antennae. lie divides them into 2 genera — 
Coryna (Billb.) = Jlycleus (Lat.) with 9-jointed antennae; and Mylahris 
pr. with those organs 11-jointed.
