But the recent researches of Lepeletier and Ser\ille, who havereared these TriunguUni from the eggs of isolated females of Meloe, do not permit us to doubt that they are theyoung of the Meloe. We know, indeed, that many Heteromera deposit their eggs in the nests of various Bees-may it not be the same with these Meloes, the larvae of which attach themselves to the Bees until they have com-pleted their provisioned nests, in which they then take up their abode ?The remaining subgenera have ordinary-sized wings and elytra.

This insect appears in our cli-mate [France] towards the summer solstice, andis found most abundantly on the ash and lilac, ofwhich it consumes the leaves; it emits a mostpenetrating odour. Its larva lives in the earth,and feeds upon the roots of vegetables. [It haslately been found in immense numbers in Eng-land, but very locally.] In the United States ofAmerica, another species, C. vittata^ is enjployedfor the same purpose. It is found in abundance Fig. 77 —Cantli^iris vcsicnturitt. UpOn the pOtatO. ZonitiSy Fabr., has the anteunje slenderer than in Cantharis ; the maxillary palpi are filiform, and the maxillaeshort. In the t^vo following subgenera the maxillae are terminated by a very long silky filament. Netnognatha, Latr., having filiform antennae, and the thorax nearly square.
