SUPERICORNIA. 
Perty (Mitth. naturf. Ges. in Bern, 1867, p. 306) notices an example of 
DicranocepJialus nugax having the right antenna deformed. 
Lygalodea. 
Douglas and Scott (Ent. M. Mag. iv. pp. 1-3) describe Lygams equestris 
(Linn.) as a British species. 
Shimer has published (Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phil. 1867, pp. 76-80) an 
account of his observations upon the habits of the Chinch Bug {^licropusleii’- 
copterus, Say), one of the most formidable enemies of the corn-crops in the 
United States. He particularly details his observations during the spring 
and summer of 1865, in vrhich year, after an unusual abundance of insects in 
1864, an epidemic disease suddenly broke out among them, and swept off the 
Chinch Bugs and many other species in great numbers. In a subsequent 
note (p. 234) Shimer says this insect has entirely disappeared. 
Antliocoris ncmorum. According to Goureau, this species, especially in 
the larva state, destroys great quantities of Aphides, particularly those which 
live in crevices of bark, galls, and other concealed places. It also feeds on 
the larvae of Psyllce which live under cover, such as P. fraxini. Bull. Soc. 
Ent. Fr. 1867, pp. Ixxxv-lxxxvi. 
Anthocoris insidiosus (Saj) = A. pseudochinche (Fitch.) is cited by Walsh 
as frequenting willow-galls. Proc. Ent. Soc. Phil. vi. p. 274. 
Baudel describes the ravages committed among the vines in the neigh- 
bourhood of Constantine by Nysius cymoides (Spin.). Bull. Soc. Ent. Fr. 
1867, pp. xxxix.-xli. 
Perty (Mitth. naturf. Ges. in Bern, 1867, p. 306) notices an example of a 
species of Pachymerus with the left antenna much abbreviated, and con- 
taining only three joints.
