After a summary of the published accounts bearing upon the early 
economy of these insects, the author gives a short history of Meloe, 
figuring and describing in detail the first larva and imago of a Californian 
species, probably M. harbarus, Lee. : the jaws of this larva are not articu- 
late in themselves, the antennse are three-jointed, and the first pair of 
stigmata are distinctly dorsal and mesothoracic. Meloe is only parasitic 
on hive-bees as it is on any other flower-frequenting insects, and cannot 
well breed in the cells of any social bee of which the young are fed in 
open cells. A similar short account is given of Sitaris (with figures; 
after V. Mayet). 
The blister-beetles are discovered to be parasitic in their early stage 
upon the eggs of the ‘‘ Rocky Mountain Locust,” Calopteniis spretus, and 
C. differ entialis, from egg-pods of the former of which have been reared 
the unicolorous form of Epicauta cinerea, Porst. (which Riley evidently 
does not think is specifically identical with E. marginata, F.), E. penn- 
sylvanica, Deg., and Mdcrohasis unicolor, Kby., with var. murina, Lee. ; 
Epicauta vittata, F., and marginata, F., have also been easily reared from 
locust-eggs. A full account is given of the hyper- metamorphoses of 
these species, the triuiigulins of which are larger and more spinose than 
those of Meloe or Sitaris, with unequal thoracic joints, powerful man-
