Calls attention to an anonymous work published in 1782 (overlooked 
by Hagen), containing three documents on the subject, of considerable 
interest and importance. 
Fabre, Nouv. Souv. Ent. pp. 262-349, records his observations on Sitaris 
and Meloe in great detail. The larvae of Sitaris , Meloe , Zonitis, aud probably 
other genera, pass through four different stages between the egg and the 
pupa state, which he calls the primary larva, the second larva, the pseudo- 
chrysalis, and the third larva. The primary larva is coriaceous, and when 
carried into the cell of a bee, it devours the egg which it finds there. 
The second larva is soft, differs entirely in its external characters, and 
devours the honey in the cell. The pseudochrysalis is a motiouless body, 
covered with horny integuments like those of chrysalids. The third larva 
much resembles the second, and then the true pupa is developed.
