Extract

One female and a damaged male of this rather extraordinary physogastric beetle were brought into the laboratory early in November, 1946. A few days later four further males and three females were collected from the same situation, a roadside bank of hard calcareous clay facing SSW, at Mill Creek, Edmonton. In view of the many references to this insect rn entomological literature, but the scanty information given on it, some laboratory observations were considered worth while.
