Fauvel has examined the structure of Sphcerius acaraides (Waltl). He 
describes the lingua as narrower than indicated by Hoffmann, and clearly 
trapezoidal, and mentions some other minor dilFerences of fox’m in this organ : 
— ^The right mandible is deeply notched or bifid at the apex ; the maxillie are 
falciform, narrow, and but slightly curved at the apex j they bear on the in- 
side of the apical part four or five small spines, and on the lower part a few 
stiff hairs. The antennm have the first two joints thick and short ; the third 
long, slender, and scarcely enlarged at the apex j the three following small, 
bead-like j the seventh and eighth depressed and transverse j and the last 
three forming an oblong club. The anterior femora have a large tooth be- 
neath j the tarsi are 3-jointed, with the first two joints very short; the claws 
are unequal, with two bristles at their base. From his examination of this 
curious microscopic Beetle, Fauvel would regard it as the type of a distinct 
group (Sphcenides), to be placed between the Clambides and the Trichoptenj- 
gides, as proposed by Schaum. Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 4*= ser. tome iv. pp. 136- 
132, pi. 1. fig. 11 a-f. 
Laboulbene describes and figures Anisotoma {Leiodos^ cinnamomea and its 
transformations in his memoir on Tuberivorous Insects (Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 
4® s4i\ tome iv. p. 90, pi. 2. figs. 18-27). The same author (1. c. p. 92) de- 
scribes the larva of Anisotoma ferruginea, and mentions A. picea as a tuberi- 
vorous species on the authority of Vittadini. 
Rye remarks (Ent. M. Mag. vol. i. p. 167) that Anisotoma ornata (Fairm.) 
is identical with A. litura (Steph.). 
Rye describes Liodes castanea (Herbst), recently taken at Rannoch, and 
indicates the differences between L. axillaris (Gyll.) and L. humeralis (Fab.).
