Jjepisma aaccharina. The characters and habits of this insect are noticed 
by Goureau (Insectes nuisibles, pp. 213-216). 
G. S. Saunders notices the occurrence of insects of this family on melting 
snow in Yorkshire in March 1867. The species is doubtfully identified by 
Lubbock with Foduvtt (Anura) tuberculata (Tempi.). Proc, Ent. Soc. 1867^,

Goureau (Insectes nuisibles, pp. 207-213) describes the characters of the 
principal insects belonging to this group which infest domestic animals, and 
indicates their general habits. 
Giebel notices the occurrence of a gigantic Ninmcs on the Golden Eagle,

Giebel has published (Zeitschr. fiir die ges. Naturw. xxviii. pp. 356-397) 
a list of the species of this group contained in the museum of the University 
of Halle. The majority of the specimens were accumulated by Nitzsch j and 
tho remarks and descriptions interspersed in the list are chiefly derived from 
his MSS. The whole number of species is 437 j but many of these have 
received no names. Many others are described as new. 
Characters of the following new species are given by Giebel, chiefly from 
Nitzsch’s MSS . : — Docophorua leptotnelaa, I, c. p. 358, on Corvua albicollis ; D,
