The following are the most important observations : Morphota^ Smith, 
probably = Lyroda, Say ; Larva should date from Latreille (1802), with 
ichneumotiiformis^ Fabr. (= xanthema^ Rossi) as its type ; Larra dis- 
tincta, Smith, variation and structure noticed ; Tachytes, Panz., pro- 
bably needs subdivision ; its habits are noticed.

Patton, W. H. Notes on the Philanthincc. P. Bost. Soc. xx. 
pp. 397-405. 
The writer describes the structure of the clypeus and its side lobes, 
which form a portion of the clypeus itself, and do not belong to the 
epicranium, as asserted by Packard. These lobes are provided with 
a fringe of hairs on the apical margin in the males of the Philanthincc, 
which may be called the moustache. The mandibles, coxae, and neura- 
tion, &c., of Cerceris and allies are described, and the differences between 
Cerceris and Eucerceris pointed out. 
Crahro ci'ossus, Lep. : var. from Porto Rico noticed ; Dewitz, B. E. Z, 
XXV. p. 200. 
Cerceris compar, Cress. : structural characters, and both sexes described ; 
Patton, P. Bost. Soc. xx. pp. 404 & 405. 
Philanthus ahdelhader, Luc. Preys on bees : it is probably a local 
form of P. triangulum, Fabr. ; Girard, Bull. Soc, Ent. Fr. (6) i. p. cxxviii.

tarinia ; type, Philanthus frigidus, Smith (rodoscribod, 1. c.). P. lati- 
cinctus and alho-pilosus, Cress., probably also belong to this genus.
