Allard has published (L’Abeille, iii. pp. 169-320) the greater portion of a 
monograph of the European HaUicides. Following Illiger, he divides the 
group into the following 8 sections \-^Physapodes (genus Lithonoma, with 3 
species), Ccbscd (genera Crepidodera, Chevr., 33 species, 1 new, and Orestia, 
Germ., 6 species), Sidcicolles (genera Ilcrmoiopliaga^ Foudr., 3 species, and 
Graptodera, Chevr., 12 species), Saltatrices (genera Aplitliona, Chevr., 38 
species, 6 new ; Argopus, Fisch., 4 species ; Sjohceroderma, Steph., 4 species ; 
and Phyllotreta, Foudr., 25 species, 1 new), Striatce (genera Podagrica, Chevr., 
8 species ; Batophila, Foudr., 3 species, 1 new ; Plectroscelis, Latr., 23 species ; 
Balanomorpha, Chevr., 6 species ‘; Apteropeda, Fedt., 4 species ; Hyperophila, 
Foudr., 2 sp.; and Mniophila, Steph., 1 sp.), Longitarsi (genus Thyamis, 
Steph., 109 sp., 16 new), O'yptocephali (genus DihoUa, Chevr.), and AUi- 
tarsi (genus Psylliodcs, Latr.). The portion published in 1866 includes the 
first few species of Thyamis ; and descriptions of >the remainder appeared in 
J anuary and March of the present year *. Crepidodera marginicollis (Kiist.) 
probably = \bx. fcrruginea (Scop.), p. 186. 
Phyllohrotica adusta. Kraatz indicates some omissions in the description 
of the abdomen of the ^ of this species in the description given by Joannis. 
13erl. ent. Zeits. 1866, p. 286. 
Puton regards Calomicrus foveolatus (Fosenh.) and Luperus sulpJmripes 
(Graells) as distinct. They had been united by Joannis. ]3ull. Soc. Ent. 
Fr. 1866, p. Ixvii. — Perez Areas also remarks on the diirerenccs between these 
species. Bull. Soc. Ent. Fr. 1866, p. xxxiv. 
Crotch (Entomologist, iii. pp. 173-174) remarks on the following species 
of this group: — LuiJerus hetidinus (F owre.) — ri^pes of British authors; 
Aplitliona ccendea (Payk.) = pseudaeori (Marsh.) ; Plectroscelis subcccrulca 
(Kutsch.) = sahlhergii of British authors ; Thyamis castanca (Foudr.) and 
hrunnea (Dufts.) ; and T. patruelis (All.). 
The following species of this group are recorded as British by Crotch (Cat. 
Brit. Col.) : — Haltica {Groptodera) ericeti (All.), H. (G.) longicollis (All.), II. 
(6r.) helianthemi (All.), Phyllotreta Jlcxuosa (Ent. Hefte), Aphthona atratida 
(All.), Plectroscelis sahlhergii (Gyll.), Thyamis absinthii (Kutsch.), T. casta- 
nea (Foudr.), T. patruelis (All.), T. atriceps (Kutsch.), and T. medicaginis 
(All.). See also Fye, Ent. Ann. 1867, pp. 96-97. 
The larva of Psylliodes dulcamarce (Holfm.) is described by Goureau. It 
lives as a miner in the leaves of Solanum dulcamara. Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 
4® s6r. tome vi. p. 169. 
Plectroscelis scheffl,eri (Kutsch.) occurs near Csanad in the Banat, according
