Liparides. 
Liparis chrysorrhcea. II. Moncreaff has observed a larva of this species 
engaged in passing the hairs of the front of the body over the scarlet tubercles 
of the back, the latter being at the same time protruded. He found that an 
oily fluid was being exuded from the tubercles, which had an acid reaction 
with litmus-paper, produced inflammatory swellings when inoculated with a 
needle into the skin of his wrist, and proceeded from orange-coloured glands 
surrounded by strong muscles and situated in the base of the tubercles. He 
found the digestive organs of many larvm of this species infested by numerous 
parasites, which, from his description, would appear to be Gregarinae. En- 
tomologist, iii. pp. 160-161. 
Lipans dispar. Westwood details some expeiiments made by feeding- 
larvae of this species upon elm and whitethorn. No difference was observable 
in the larvae, pupae, or cocoons of the specimens fed upon the different plants ; 
but on the emergence of the perfect insects, the males fed on elm were larger 
and finer than those fed on the whitethorn, whilst the reverse was the case 
with the females, the greater part of the latter produced by elm-fed larvae 
being crippled. MacLachlan remarked that Liparis dispar was hardly a fair 
subject for experiment, as it now exists in this country only in a semido- 
mesticated state. Proc. Ent. Soc. 1860, p. xliv.
