DrUusfiavescens. Bellevoye (Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 4 e ser. x. Bull. p. xxxv)
indicates Helix pomatia and nemoralis, L, hortensis, fruticum, and (?) ericetorum,
Mull, as the snails fed upon by the larva of this species. DESMAREST
(ibid. p. xxxvi) adds his experience that the $ has occurred in H. nemoralis,
once in H. pomatia. DE MARSEUL (NOUV. et faits div, no. 14) adds II. candidula
to Bellevoye's list; and A. DE PERRLN (ibid.) gives directions for the
detection of £ Drilus, received by him from Lespes.
LUCAS (Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 4 e ser. x. Bull. p. lvii) briefly describes the ?
of a Malaeogaster from Algiers, the larva of which attacks Helix dupoteti and
H. lucasi, and which (having tf and $ ) he provisionally names M. bassii.
Telephorides.
GEMMINGER (C. H. vi. p. 120) makes the following alterations in nomenclature:—Telephorus
bilineatus (Boh. nee Say) to digrammicus; T. dichrous
(Mars, nee Lee) to dissipatus; T.flavipes (Lee nee F.) to gilvipes; T. nigripennis
(Sol. nee F.) to melanopterus; T. preecox (Philippi nee GenS) to
philippii; T.planicollis (Lee nee Kies.) to platyderus; T. pusillus (Boh. nee
Lee) to pusio; T. ruficeps (Kies. nee Blanch.) to ruficapitatus; T. pictus
(Cast, nee Wied) to sticticus; T. tibialis (Lee nee Brull6) to tibiellus; T,
collaris (Lee nee Sol.) to torquatus; T. terminalis (Redt. nee Cast.) to ustus;
T. abdominalis (Sol. nee F.) to ventralis; T. vitticollis (Boh. nee Meh6t.) to

Telephorus mandibularis, Kby, =fraxini, Say: Lee, Ann. N. H. ser. 4, vi.
p. 398.
v. ROTTENBERG (B. E. Z. xiv. p. 241) gives distinguishing characters for
Cantharis immaculicornis, Cast, and livida, L, which he asserts are specifically
distinct.
ABEILLE DE PERRIN (Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 4 e ser. x. p. 81) describes at
full length his Telephorus comix, of which the diagnosis was published in
Pet. Nouv, 1 Dec. 1869.
PETTITT (Canad. Ent. ii. p. 117) records an example, from Ontario, of
Podabrus punctatus (Kirby) with three antennae; the additional member
being placed directly in front of the right antenna, and consisting of 10 joints,
with a three-jointed branch from the base of the ninth joint.
A larva, supposed to be that of a Telephorus, and proved to feed upon the
grubs of the "Plum Curculio" (Conotrachelus nenuphar), is described and
figured, with detail, in Amer. Ent. i. p. 35, f. 29. This is subsequently (p. 51)
discovered to be the larva of Chaulioynathus pennsylvanicus (DeG.), f. 51.
THOMSON (Sk. Col. x. p. llti) describes the hitherto unknown
