Cardiophcmts exaratus (Erichs.). Abeille de Perrin describes the habits of 
this species, as observed by him near Marseilles. The males are more nume- 
rous than the females, and during the day scarcely any of the latter are to be 
seen ; in the evening the females come out, and copulation takes place, when 
two or three males are often found united with one female. (Ann. Soc. Ent. 
Fr. 4e s6r. vii. pp. 66-66.) 
Agriotes gilvellus (Ziegl.). Perty (Mitth. naturf. Ges. in Bern, 1867, p. 306,

elytron.
