21. note, The name Dermaptera was first used by De Geer himself for the mandibulated Hemiptera, which Olivier subsequently, named Orthoptera. Leach improperly retained the latter name, and separated the Forficulidæ therefrom, for which with equal impropriety, he retained the name of Dermaptera. Retzius, in his commentary on De Geer, confused these names, by giving the mandibulated Hemiptera under the name of Hemiptera, and a portion of the haustellated ones (Cimex, The latter name ought &c.) under that of Dermaptera. certainly to supersede Olivier's name, Orthoptera.

Since the publication of the sheets relative to the Orthoptera, two works especially devoted to that order have been published; namely, the second part of the second volume of Burmeister's Handbuch der Entomologie, 1838, and Histoire Naturelle des Insectes Orthoptères, 1839, by M. Serville. In these works numerous new genera are proposed, chiefly founded upon exotic species, under distinct names. Burmeister has subsequently reviewed their synonymy in the third part of Germar's Zeitschrift fur d. Entomologie.

Stephens, Curtis, Latreille, &c.

M. Lacordaire has published some original observations on the
different kinds of individuals composing the species of Termi-
tidæ in his Introduction to the Natural History of Insects.
17. line 18. I have recently discovered an apterous species of this family,
possessing more than twenty-five joints in the antennæ, and
3-jointed tarsi.

25. note*, The existence of the anomalous character of an additional pair of
eyes, placed on pillars, is not confined to the males of a single
species, or even subgenus of Ephemerida. I have this day
(May 14. 1840) taken both sexes of the two-winged species,
figured by Mr. Stephens under the name of Cloeon dipterum,
and find that the males possess this character, and are, in co-
lour, quite unlike the females. Neither Leach nor Stephens
have noticed the sexual characters of Cloeon. The species
figured by Réaumur, possessing two similar additional pedun-
culated eyes (tom. iv. pl. 19. fig. 3.), evidently belongs, from
his accurate description of the very minute hind wings, to my
subgenus Brachyphlebia. Burmeister (Handb. vol. ii. p. 798.)
gives E. bioculata L., as the male of E. diptera L.
Mr. Swainson has published a figure of the larva of Ascalaphus
MacLeayanus Guild. in his volume on the Habits and In-
stincts of Animals, p. 29. It differs from my fig. 63. 20. and
from Guilding's description, in having only nine filamentous
processes on cach side.

Dr. Buckland has described a remarkable fossil insect, of which

Page 72. line 35. 74. line 4.

a wing only has been discovered, under the name of Hemerobioides giganteus (Proceed. Geol. Soc. June 6. 1838); it having appeared to me to possess greater affinities with the wing of Hemerobius than any other existing insects.

for "apud" read " Apum."

Say (Boston Journ. of Nat. Hist. vol. i. no. 4.) describes a section of Lyrops with only one ocellus.

76. note*, The Baron de Romand has had the kindness to send me a copy
of a memoir on the variations in the nervures of the Hymen-
opterous wings, recently published by him privately, and illus-
trated by numerous figures.

82. line 10. and 22. for “cuckoo flies" read "ichneumon flies."
84. et passim, for "Bethyllus " read Bethylus."

88.

The valuable classification of the Hymenoptera, published by
Mr. Haliday, reached me too late to be noticed in the text.
It is partially noticed in the Generic Synopsis.

114. line 18. for "Siricidæ " read" Urocerida."
119. and 121. Saint Fargeau, in his Hist. Nat. Hymenopt. p. 5. notes 1, 2,
and 3., has re-stated his opinion of the parasitic nature of
Urocerus and Xiphydria. The German entomologists, who
have such ample opportunities for studying the habits of these
insects, describe them as Xylophagous, and the structure of
their jaws confirms such statement.

123. line 13. for "top" read "tip."

line 33. I have used the name of Entomophaga instead of Latreille's Pupivora, which is inapplicable to the majority of the species.

125. note*, add: Hartig. Revision of the fam. Cynipidæ (divided into twentyone Genera) in Germar's Zeitschrift, f. d. Entomol. No. 3.

127. line 20. for "73. c." read "73. 22. c."

143. line 8. M. Wesmael (Ann. Soc. Ent. de France, 1837, pt. 3.) describes

the habits of a Bracon, which attacks Scolytus. I took one of the species of this genus in the Parc de Belle Vue, near Paris, on felled trees infested by Scolyti, and which M. Audouin also informed me was its parasite.

145. line 25. Moses Harris states that "on a moderate computation," there might be 20,000 minute Ichneumons found by him in a single chrysalis of a goat moth (Aurelian, pl. 23.).

146. line 23. bis, for "its " read "their."

M. Schiodte has figured some Ichneumonidæ in Guérin's Magazin de Zoologie, which exhibit similar peculiarities in the mode of exclusion of the eggs.

148. line 36. for "both at the top and bottom" read "either at the top or

bottom."

164. line 34. My monograph on Leucospis has been published in the second part of Germar's Zeitschrift, f. d. Entomologie.

169.

Mr. Curtis, in his dissections of the ovipositor of Proctotrupes, noticed, in addition to the parts figured by me (fig. 78. 7), an elongated membranous plate. I had also noticed this in several of the females of this genus which I had dissected, but

concluded it was some extraneous matter or the lining of the other parts.

Page 171. line 17. for "an inch " read “a line."

173. line 17. for "Diapria," read "Diapria),".

174. note, add: Klug, in Proceed. Roy. Acad. Berlin, 10 Jan., 1839 (and in Annals of Natural History).

line 26. after Diploptera add (Diplopteryga K., F. B. Amer.)

207. line 9. and following.' S. S. Saunders, Esq. has transmitted to his
cousin W. W. Saunders, Esq., from Albania, the mud nests
made by Pelopæus spirifex; and Mr. Doubleday mentions
that the American species of that genus are well known in the
United States under the name of "mud dabs," from their nests
resembling a patch of mud.

212. line 34. fig. 84. 11. represents the labium of Sapyga punctata.
216. line 1. Mr. Shuckard has published (Annals of Nat. Hist. May, 1840)
the commencement of a monograph on the family (as he terms
it) Dorylidæ, in which he describes two new genera and nu-
merous species; and has endeavoured to prove, 1. that these
insects are more nearly allied to the Mutillidæ, and are conse-
quently not furnished with neuters; 2. that they are parasites;
and 3. that my genus Typhlopone (fig. 86. 17-20.) is the
female of the genus Labidus. I propose to make some remarks
on this memoir, not coinciding with several of these opinions.

233. line 31. Mr. Swainson, unacquainted with these observations, has pub-
lished an account of the habits of a Brazilian species of Ama-
zon ant, which makes slaves of the neuters of other species, but
which it carries off in the perfect neuter state, and not whilst
larvæ or pupæ. (On the Habits and Instincts of Animals,
p. 334.)

234. line 9. Mr. Swainson, in like manner, unacquainted with these observations, has detailed, as a new fact, the circumstance of the ants of Brazil milking the Membracides of that region in consequence of the absence of the Aphides. (Habits of Animals, p. 338.)

241. line 24. and 240. note*. M. Dufour's memoir has been published in the Annales des Sci. Nat. for Jan. 1839, accompanied by supplemental observations by M. Audouin. In these memoirs four distinct species are stated to form curved tubes at the mouths of their burrows in the sand. M. Audouin (like Mr. Shuckard), following M. Wesmael, considers the O. muraria, whose history is detailed by Réaumur (Mém. 6. pl. 26. f. 2.), as identical with Oplomerus spinipes. The O. rubicola L. D. is closely allied to the O. lævipes of Shk.

tical with Livia Juncorum) from Juncus articulatus 6 of Linnæus, by whom it was supposed to be a viviparous variety.

535. line 16. Mr. Gosse, in the Canadian Naturalist, London, 1840, p. 199., has described and figured the pupa and imago of an American species of Conomyia, which he had observed amongst the grass, extricating itself from the pupa, which "is large, and the hind segments have rings of spines; its colour is chestnutbrown, and it much resembles that of a large moth. I have no doubt it is subterraneous in the pupa state." I have followed

Latreille, the founder of this genus, in writing the name Canomyia.
