place Cetonia hirta destroys the stamens of the flowers of apple- and pear- 
trees, tlius hindering the production of the fruit, and imitating C. stictica, 
which, according to Boisduval, commits similar damage in the Parisian 
district. 
Brischke (Schrift. Naturforsch. Gesellsch. Danzig, 18G8) records larvae of 
the Dipterous genus J?hora^ found in living Osmoihrma cremita (L.), and 
which, if new, he proposes to call P. cohopterorum. 
Llewelyn (Ent. Mo. Mag. vi. p. 00) records Tnchius fasciatus in plenty 
from South Wales, including a variety resembling T. ahdominalis. 
Scudder (Corresp. of T. W. Harris, pi. iv. figs. 4-7) figures Cremadochilus 
castanea, hentzU^ and sayi (Hentz), with details. 
Euryomia mdancholica (G. and P.) is noted by Walsh and Riley (Araer. 
Entom. i. p. iii, fig. 92) as eating the blossom end of pears, and being found 
in cotton-bolls already pierced by the boll-worm.

Javet (Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 4® s<5r. ix. Bull. p. xxvi) exhibits a number of 
living Julodis onopordi (Fab.), received from the Maritime Alps. 
Dohrn (Stettin, ent. Zeit. 1809, p. 308) records Julodis variahilis (Pallas) 
in numbers from Sarepta. 
Lichtenstein (Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 4“ ser. ix. Bull. p. xxix) notes that 
Ptosima novem-macidata (Fab.) and Capnodis tenchrionis (Linn.), two of the 
Pvprestidce that live on the peach-tree, might easily be able to resist the 
action of laurel-leaves, a specimen of the former of them having survived a 
day’s stay in a laurel-bottle. 
Riley (First Ann. Rep. Nox. Ins. Missouri, 1809, p. 40) figures the larva 
and imago, and refers to the habits of Chrysohothrys femurata (Fab.), a de- 
stroyer of apple-trees in Central America. 
K AW ALL (Stettin, ent. Zeit. xxxi. p. 109) notes his finding Chrysohothrys 
ehrysostigma (L.) in Pinus abies. 
Goubert (Pet. nouv. Ent. no. 2) records the capture of several Anthaxia 
candens (Panz.), out of a plum-stock, brought from Wasselonne. 
Lucas (Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 4® s^r. ix. Bull. p. iv) re-describes Chrysochroa 
mniszechiij which II . Deyrolle appears to have described and figured from a 
blue variety from Siam. The type appears to be greenish coppeiy, and to be 
found in Cochin China. Lucas notices another variety fi-om Poulo-Condor. 
E. Saunders (Journ. Linn. Soc. Zool. x. pp. 331-341, pi. 10) remarks on 
the distribution of the species of Paracupta (II. Deyr.) and Conognatha 
(Esch.), and describes and figures 20 new species of those genera. The 
same author (Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond., April 1809, pp. 1-8, pi. 1) describes 
and figures nine other new species of this family, and characterizes a new* 
genus.
