C. V. RileJ", P. Am. Ass. St. Louis, 1878, Entomological Papers, pp. 18 
& 19, gives an abstract of his researches into the life-history of the blister- 
beetles, and the structure and development of Hornia [Zool. Rec. xiv. 
Ins. p. 68], which he has made out since describing that genus. It is 
parasitic on Anthophora abrupta. Say, and its triungulin is very similar 
to that of Sitaris.
