ZOOLOGICAL LITERATURE. 
ENDOMYCHIDiE. 
IJndeinaun has described T'hroscm dennestoicles as a new species of Endo- 
mychida3, foriuing' a new genus, under the name of Ilorticola urhana.

CoCCINELLIDiE. 
liulcea. Kraatz states that li. pallida (Muls.) is only a variety of li. 
19~notala (Gebl), and that H. lividula is a still paler form. B. hocandei, 
from Senegal, may also be a mere variety of the same species. The author 
illustrates this opinion by references to similar variations in well-known 
species of Coccinella (such as C. 22~ptmctata and C. \Q-punctata). Adonia 
Corsica is a variety of A. mictabilis, and Coccinella ohliquata of C. variahilis.

On the metamorphosis of Coccinella 7-pimctata, see Lindemann, Bull. 
Soc. Nat. Mosc. xxxvii. part 2. pp. 528-531. (See p. 386.) 
The habits of the Coccinellce as aphidivorous insects are briefly described 
by Taschenberg (Wirbell. Thiere, &c. p. 203), who also figures C. septem- 
punctata in its various stages, 1. c. pi. 7. fig. 3. 
HYMENOPTERA. 
A. Wo7'k in progress. 
Holmgren, A. E. Ichneumonologia Suecica. Tomus primus. 
8vo, pp. 213. Stockholm, 1864. 
In this valuable work Holmgren extends his investigations 
into a new group of Ichneurnonidce, that of the Ichneumonides 
oxypygi of Wesmael, including the restricted genus Ichneumon 
and some allied genera. The descriptions, which are entirely 
in Latin, are most elaborate, both sexes, and in some cases 
long series of varieties, being characterized. Like Thomson's 
* Skandinaviens Coleoptera,^ this work will be indispensable to 
British entomologists working upon the group of which it treats. 
The terminology employed is illustrated by a plate. 
B. Separate Work. 
Mayr, G. L. Formicidse der Reise der Glsterreichischen Fre- 
gatte Novara um die Erde. 4to, pp. 119, Taff. 4. Wien, 
1865. 
The collections made during the voyage of the ^ Novara^ in- 
cluded 110 species of Formipidae, many of which were new 
species, and have been briefly described by Mayr in the Verhandl. 
zool.-bot. Gesellsch. in Wien for 1862. In the present work 
we have a complete list of the species, with detailed descriptions
