ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY. 



April 1st, 1844. — G. Newport, Esq., President, in the Chair. 



Mr. S. Stevens exhibited a minute species of Hylesinus, together 

 with a piece of bark, showing the mining habits of the preparatory 

 states of this beetle. 



Mr. Westwood exhibited both sexes of two species of the genus 

 Ynca, Y. Sommeri (a new species closely allied to Y. Fabricii, if it 

 be not a geographical variety thereof,) and Y. Beskii, from tropical 

 America, sent to him from Hamburgh by M. C. Sommer, Esq. 



He likewise exhibited specimens of a species of Cossonus found in 

 great numbers imbedded in a black brittle mass of matter, discovered 

 in the interior of a barrow recently opened in Lancashire, and ac- 

 companied by notes from the Rev. Mr. Sibson, by whom they had 

 been communicated to Dr. Holme of Manchester. Likewise draw- 

 ings of the transformations of an Indian species of Anthrenus, and 

 of Paussus (Ceratoderus) bifasciatus, KoUar, forwarded to him by 

 Captain Boys.
