pupae in the saud^ and on the lOth October the Tachince made their appear- 
ance. Boie describes the parasites^ wliich he has been unable to determine, 
and inquires what would be their ultimate fate, as no larvae of S. lujustri or 
any allied species were in existence at the time of their emergence. Verh. 
zool.-bot. Ges. in Wien, xv. pp. 241-242. 
liondani (Arch. Oanestr. iii. p. 18) gives the following character of his

not dilatato-convex on the back, even in S cheeks pilose, but not fuinished 
with any large setae ; palpi wanting or nearly wanting j proboscis not dis- 
tinctly produced beyond the epistome ; arista either with joints 1 and 2 rather 
long, or with the second longer ; fifth longitudinal vein bent not at an open 
angle, reaching the costal distinct from the fourth. 
Frontina diabolus= Tachina diabolus (Wied) described by Rondani, p. 19. 
Campogaster (Rond.) Rondani proposes to change this name to Campy- 
lura, Campiyaste?' having been previously employed by Macquart, I c. p. 22. 
Amphibolia (Macq.). Rondani considers that this genus should not be 
separated from Fidilia. L. c. p. 23.
