Brisciike and Zaddaoii have continued tlio publication of their researches 
upon the insects of this family, with the species of the group including Lyda 
and Tarpa (Schr. phys.-okon. Ges. zu Konigsb. vi. pp. 104-202). They re- 
mark upon the characters distinguishing this group from the rest of the 
Tenthredinidce, and characterize the following species, noticing the natural 
history of many of them ; — 
Lyda stellata (Chr.), laricis (Gir.), circumcincta (Klug), tessellata (Klug), 
popidi (Linn.), taf. 4. figs. 1,2, erythrocephala (Linn.), Jlamceps (Retz.),

Tenthredo (^noshati Lyda cynoshati and geoffroyi (St. Farg.) is a 
species of Cephas, to which genus also probably belong Geoffroy’s species 
37 and 38, of the latter of which Latreille has made his Lyda longicornis. 
Lyda hcemorrhoidalis (Fab.)=-4s^a^MS analis (Klug). Lyda Jiava and signata 
(Fab.) are not true Lydce (1. c. pp. 184-185). 
Damianitsch (Verb, zool.-bot. Ges. in Wien, xvi. pp. 994 & 995, pi. 21. 
figs. 4 & 5) describes and figures specimens of Tenthredo amhigua (Klug) and 
T. scalans (Klug) with abnormal antennae. In the former the right antenna 
is divided into 2 jointed branches from the fourth joint; in the latter a 
straight, 2-jointed branch springs from the apex of the basal joint. 
Abia aurtdenta (Sichel). Sichel gives a detailed description and figures of 
this South European species, Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 4® s^r. v. p. 488, pi. 10.
