CrYPTOPHAGIDvE. 
Wollaston (Ent. M. Mag. vol. i. pp. 14-19) discusses the structural cha- 
racters of Latridius, and the systematic relations of that genus. He con- 
siders that the Latridiidce form a small family intermediate between the 
Ci'yjdophagidcB and Mycetopliagidce.

Dermestida^. 
Kraatz remarks that Anthrenm gravidas (Kiister) is only a variety of A. 
scrophalaricB) and that if A. graridus be, as seems probable, a transit! on -step 
between A. scrophidarice and A. protciis (Kr.), the variety of the latter named 
sencx b}'^ him would be only a white-scaled variety of A. scroplmlariae. Berl.
