dibles and maxilloB, shortened labrum, slender femora, well-armed tibia), 
and less perfect claws. The second larva undergoes four moults, and 
takes the same food as the first ; its skin is almost entirely cast from the 
coarctate larva, and its subsequent changes are entirely free of the shell 
' of that form. All the stages, with details, are excellently figured from 
the author’s designs. 
Meloe angusticolUs makes its appearance in the perfect state about the 
end of August or beginning of September ; later in the season the sexes 
pair, and sometimes as late as after the first frost, the $ deposits her eggs 
and dies. The larvae emerge from the eggs early the following spring, 
and probably attach themselves to bees on the blossoms of the willow, 
being also found in flowers of Caltha. W. Brodie, Canad. Ent. ix. p. 11.
