ZOOLOGICAL LITERATURE. 
Zofniiu mutica (Fab.)* is parasitic in the cells of Osmia Imcomelana. Cocoons 
of Hemet'ohim are frequently found sheltered in the tubes formed by the hol- 
lowed bramble-stems j and from these Giraud has bred Hemiteles eestivalis 
(Gfxm.^^Microgaster perlce (Donmerc) and Pteromalus houcheanus (Ratz.). 
(See also Bull. Soc. Ent. Fr. 1866, p. xxxvi.) 
Marshall (Ent. M. Mag. iii. p. 92) notices some of the rarer species of 
Hymenoptera taken by him at Freshwater Bay, Pembrokeshire. 
Anthophila. 
The analytical table of the genera of German Bees given by 
Taschenberg (Hym. Deutschl.) includes 30 genera. No divi- 
sion into subfamilies is recognized by him. The species are de- 
scribed. 
Shuckard (British Bees) proposes the following arrange- 
ment of the genera of this family, for which he proposes the 
wholly unnecessary new name, MeUicoUigerde ; —

Sphecodes. Sichel has published (Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 4® ser. 
V. pp. 396-466 and 491) a Revision monographique, critique 
et synonymique du genre mellifere Sphecodes, Latreille,^^ in. the 
earlier portion of which he maintains from his own observations.
