Vol. i. (reviewed in Ent. M. M. viii. p. 189) comprises Tenthredo and Sirex, 
Linn., and commences a proposed monographic revision of the Swedish 
species of Hymenoptera, Vol. ii. comprises Apis, Linn. As usual, the au- 
thor is original in his treatment : his habit of investigating all portions of 
the structure of any insect to which his attention is directed, and of not con- 
fining himself to any one set of organs, causing him frequently to arrive at 
conclusions at variance with those of former writers. In discussing the 
Tenthi'edinidce, however, he omits to notice the larval stage, in spite of Dahl- 
bom’s valuable observations upon it. 
Khaplin, Tagebl. xlv. Vers. Natur. p. 140, notes the homology between 
the last abdominal segments of the cf and $ . 
Japan (Hiogo). In a collection received from this country, all the genera 
(except one of Formicidce) were European, and some of the species appeared 
to be identical with European : E. Smith, P. E. Soc. 1872, p. xx. But the 
collective faunas of the two regions are totally distinct ; H. W. Bates, ihid. 
p. xlvii. 
Afidas, 
Thomson, Hym. Scand. ii., adopting as primary the sections SociaJes and 
Solitarice, comprises in the former the tribes Apina and Bomhina, and in the 
latter the equivalent tribes of Megillina^ Andrenina^ Halictina^ Nomadina^ and 
Melectina. For all of these he points out fresh characters, derived from 
varied structural peculiarities.

Lower-Harz district, with brief notices of habits, times of appearance, &c.
