NOTICES OF SERIALS. 
ter) On Zygse nse which occur in Styria; continued—p. 87-96. Concludes that 
E. peucedani, athamantse, ephialtes, falcata, trigonellae, seacus, coronillse, are 
varieties' of one species, and that E. erythrus is probably not specifically distinct 
from E. mines. (Lederer) Addition to the Lepidopterous Fauna of the Altai 
mountains in Siberia; with two plates—p. 97-99. (Hornig) Metamorphosis of 
Cochylis posterana (ambiguana Tr.) rubellana, dubitana—p. 129, 180. (Lede¬ 
rer) Contribution to the Lepidopterous Fauna of Cyprus, Beyrout, and part of 
Asia Minor; with five plates—p. 177-254.. The warmth of the climate promotes 
the development of the tails of the hinder wings of some of the Lycsenidse. The 
same is observed in the summer brood of Polyommatus thersamon , compared 
with the spring brood. Some of the species in Klug’s Symbolse Physic®, 
founded on such differences, fall accordingly. (Mann) Lepidoptera collected 
in Corsica—p. 529-572. With descriptions of many new Microlepidoptera and 
a few Geometrse. (Kollar) On the destruction of Rye in granaries by the ca¬ 
terpillar of Apamea basilinea ; with a plate—p. 697-700- (Lederer and Mann) 
Three new Austrian Lepidoptera, Psyche ecksteini , Ps. zelleri , Tortrix avrofasci- 
ana ; with a plate—p. 755-758. (Egger) New Austrian Diptera, Stichopogon 
frauenfeldi , Mochtherus schineri , Lophonotus tridens —p. 5-9. (Same) On the 
variable veining of the wings in certain Diptera—pp. 9-12. (Schiner) JSe- 
motelus signatus n. sp. from Hungary; figured—p. 81, 82. (Loew) Remarks 
on the genus Sargus—p. 131-148. The following new names of groups are 
proposed, Analcocerus , divided from Eudmeta by the 8-jointed antennae, the 
species Brazilian, one new; Ptecticus , type *S. testaceus F., four new species 
described ; Merosargus , type S. obscurus Wdm , two new species; Chrysonotus, 
type S. bipunctatus Scop. ; Michrochrysa, for the smaller species of Chrysomyia 
with nearly naked eyes. (Schiner) List of Austrian Diptera; No. II. Stra- 
tiomyd® and Xylophagidae—p. 613-682. (Loew) On the g. Eumerus—p. 687- 
696. (Mayr) Formicina Austriaca, or Descriptions of the Ants of Austria, 
Germany, Switzerland, and Italy ; with a plate—p. 273-478. Of European Ants 
there are enumerated one hundred and nine, viz. : of Formicidce , Formica 41 
species; Tapinoma 5 ; Hypoclinean. g. 2, type F. quadripunctata L.; Monocon^bus 
n. g. 1, F. viatica F.; Cataglyphus 1; Polyergus 2 ; Poneridce , Ponera 3 ; Odonto- 
machus 1; Myrmicidce , Myrmica 9, Formicoxenus 1; Myrmecina 1; Tetramorium

13, type M. acervorum; Diplorhoptrum n. g. 1, F.fugax Ltr.; Monomorium n. g. 1, 
minute new Ant from Italy; Oecophthora 1; Atta3; Aphaenogaster 2; Crematogaster 
2; and thirteen species of uncertain position. Eighty-four species are here very mi¬ 
nutely described, and a particular nomenclature of the wing-ribs and cells is given, 
illustrated with figures. (Brauer) On the metamorphosis and internal anatomy of 
the Neuroptera ; with a list of the species found about Vienna ; with six plates— 
p. 479-484, 701-726, 777-786. The natural history of the following species is 
illustrated :—Ascalaphus macaronius, Mantispa pagana, Boreus hyemalis, Formi- 
caleo tetragrammicus, Acanthaclisis occitanica. In the general view of the anatomy, 
Hagen’s statement that Sisyra possesses only six malpighian vessels is admitted, 
doubtfully, as one exception to the general rule of eight in the family. The doubt 
is justified ; there are eight both in the perfect insect and the larva (the well-known 
“ Spongilla animalcule”). The number is six in Coniopteryx, both the perfect 
insect and larva, of the anatomy of which genus no account is here given.

racters of which are here briefly given. (Haimhoffen) On an excrescence of the 
root of Alyssum incanum L., and the insect that produces it—p. 525-528. The 
insect of this gall is Ceutorrhynchus sulcicollis (see Proc. 128), which is infested by
