L. noctilucaf (S . 
Telephorides, 
Riley (First Ann. Rep. Nox. Ins. Missouri, 1869, p. 67) figures the imago 
and larva (with details) of ChauUognatkus pennsylvanicus (De G.), a de- 
stroyer of the larvae of the “ Plum Ourciilio.” He describes the larva at some 
length. 
Abeille de Perrin (Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 4® sSr. ix. p. 41) remarks upon the 
position of Malckinus (Kies.), which ho thinks should be at least between 
MaltJiinus and Malthodes, if not before MctUkimcSf as forming a transition to 
certain of the true Telephorid<s. 
Darwin (Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. iv. p. 145) notes the fertilization of Iley- 
7ninium monw'chis by Malthodes hrevicollis.

Abeille de Perrin (Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 4“ S(Sr. ix. p. 403) considers that 
Anthocomus vcsiculiger (Marseul) is properly to bo refen-ed to Hgpehaus 
(Kies.), and should come next after H. Jlauipes (Fab.). lie also affirms that 
A. trijjartitus (Mars.) is a true Anthocomus, and has only a colour-relation- 
ship with certain species of Cerapheles ; and that Cgrtosus hiculor of Perris (of 
which Oogyms signicolUs, Rey et Muls., is possibly a synonym) is a true 
Oogynes. The abnormcal appendages of the sixth abdominal segment in the 
male of the species, which he proceeds to describe, appear to him to demand 
a new generic division, at the expense of Oogynes, for which he proposes the 
(Latin) name of Furciger. Such being his opinion, it seems curious that he 
did not adopt the latter appellation for his insect. At p. 409, 1. c., he corrects 
some errors in his former communication.

Mulsant & Rey have completed (Ann. Soc. Linn, de Lyon, 
n. s. xvi. pp. 83-231, pi. i.-xix.) their monograph of the species 
of this group forming their tribe Floricoles. 
In continuation of their branch Dasytates, of the group Dasytaires, they de- 
scribe the sole French species of Lohonyx (Duv.), 1. c. p. 83, L. mieus (Fab.), 
in upwards of four pages, and Psilothrix (Redt.), p. 90. The Ilaplocne- 
mates (tabulated at p. 97), the second branch of their Dasytaires, is composed 
of the genera Jidistus (Kies.), p. 98, and Haplocnenms (Steph.), tabulated at 
pp. 110, 126, 151, 167. The second family, the Mclyriens, p. 172, includes 
Melyris and Zygia (li’ab.) ; the third, the Danacdens, p. 182, Dolichosoma 
(Steph.) and Danaccca (l^ap.), tabulated at p. 194 j and tlie fourth, the Phloeo- 
philicns, p. 225, PhloeophUus (Steph.), The authors figure with much detail
