Hyperides. 
Phytonomus punctatus (Fab.) is mentioned in Bull. Soc. Ent. Ital. i. 
pp. 80 & 81, as injurious to trefoil ; and various means for destroying this 
insect are there enumerated. The ravages of this species are also referred to 
in the report of Balsamo-Cruvelli and others (R. 1st. Lomb. ser. ii. vol. i. 
fasc. 12). 
Rye (Ent. Mo. Mag. vi. p. 160) reviews Capiomont’s characters for 
specifically distinguishing between Phytonomus poUux and P.jtdinii (Sahib.), 
and inclines to the belief that the latter is only a variety of the former. 
Ithycerides.

Dohrn (Stettin, ent. Zeit. 1869, p. 308) records Eumecops hittaryi (Hoch.)

be placed between Leucochromus and Stephanocleotms ,* and from Hochhuth, 
who considers it belongs to the Byrsopsides.
