Attellabides. 
Frey-Gessner (Mittlieil. der schwoiz. entom. Gesellsch. iii. p. 6) notes 
the capture of Apoderm inter7nedius (Ilellw.) on SpircBa ulmaria. It appears 
not to have been before observed in the Swiss Alps. 
Rhinomacerides. 
Areille de Perrin (Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 4° s6r. ix. p. 410) notes the 
capture by himself in France of Rhynchites aheillei (Desb. des Loges) on oak, 
and of R. tristis (Fab.), which rolls the leaves of the sycamore. 
H. Brisout de Barneville (Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 4® s6r. ix. Bull. p. xxxvi) 
notes capture at St. Germain of Rhynchites rcctirostris (Gyll.) on white- 
thorn. 
Bye (Ent. Mo. Mag. vi. p. 68) records capture of Rhynchites germanicus 
with each antenna biclavate. 
Balaninides. 
Rye (Ent. Mo. Mag. v. p. 218) refers to Ralaninus cei'asorum and B. ru- 
hidus. 
MOller (Ent. Mo. Mag. vi. p. 137) proves B. hrassicce (Fab.) to be an 
inquiline, and not a gall-maker. 
Balaninus crucifer (Fuchs) = cm.r (Fab.): Be Marseul, L’Abeille, vi. 
p. 166 . 
Anthonomides. 
H. Brisout de Barnevillb (An. Soc. Ent. Fr. 4^ s6r. ix. Bull. p. xxxvi) 
records capture of Anthonomus pruni (Desbr.) at St. Germain, on black- 
thorn. 
Rye (Ent. Mo. Mag. vi. pp. 87 & 88) refers to the species of Anthonomus 
reputed to be British in des Loges’s Monograph, and draws attention to an 
undescribed small species allied to ruhi, found in Scotland on Comarum pa- 
lustre. Crotch (Entom. 69, pp. 307-310, under the heading of Contribu- 
tions to a Synopsis of British Coleoptera ”) also abstracts des Loges’s Mono- 
graph, and dubiously suggests the title /War. ? comarV^ for the insect 
above referred to. 
Walsh and Riley (Amer. Entom. i. p. 93) note the exemption of the 
plum known as the Miner or Hinkley plum from the attacks of Anthonomus 
prunicida (Walsh). 
The larva of Anthonomus erythropus (Say) is briefly described by Shimer 
(Trans. Amer. Ent. Soc. ii. p. 394), who has found it in galls on hickory, 
formed by Dactylosphcera {Homop.). 
Bradyhatus fallax (Gerst.) and Anthonomus aceris (Chev.)=^. elongatulus 
(Boh.) : De Marseul (L’Abeille, vi. p. 166), — who refers to Desbrochers’s uso 
of the long-preoccupied name Pscudomorphus for the genus of this insect, for 
whch he himself had, in anticipation of Desbrochers, proposed the name 
Nothops. 
Moncreaff (Entom. 62, p. 218) notes Orchestes alni in October, in a de- 
caying branch of whitethorn, and seems to think they had “pupized,” if 
not fed up, in the wood. The beetles were, of course, preparing for hiber- 
nation.
