Baridiides, 
Baridius, Lereboullet (M^m. Soc. Sci. Nat. Strasb. vi.) describes the 
metamorphoses and mode of life of 2 species of this genus, B.picinus (Germ.) 
and B. chloris (Germ.), both destructive of brassicaceous plants in the neigh- 
bourhood of Strasbourg. He figures the larva and pupa of the former species 
with details on the plate accompanying his paper (figs. 1-8) ; fig. 9 repre- 
sents a section of the stem of a Colza plant hollowed out by the larva, and 
fig. 10 a nest formed by the larva attached to a root-fibre : the beetles are 
also figured — B. chloris , fig. 11, and B, picinus^ fig. 12. Two parasites, 
one Dipterous (Zauxania) and one Ilymonoptorous (Bracon)^ are also 
figured (ligs. 13-16 and 10-20). In the introductory portion of his paper 
the author gives a summary of previous researches. 
Taschenberg notices the occurrence of a Curculionide larva, probably that 
of Baridius chloris, together with the larva of Psylliodes chrysocephala, in 
rape-plants early in May. Zeitschrift fUr die ges. Naturw. xxiii. Corr.-Bl.
