278 NOTES AND EXHIBITS. 



Mr. Froggatt exhibited three feraale specimens of an undescribed 

 species of Coelostoma (Fam. Coccidce) found on Acacia stricta; the 

 only other known species, C. australe, was recently described by 

 Mr. Maskell in the Proceedings of this Society. Also a robber-fly 

 (Fam. Asilidoi) together with a bee {Ajns melUfica), its victim ; 

 and he mentioned that one of these flies, Trupania apivora, Feitch, 

 in North America was known to be a ruthless destroyer of honey 

 bees. 



Mr. Hedley exhibited, on behalf of Mr. Eainbow, a spider of 

 the family Epeiridce. This rare and remarkable insect furnishes 

 an addition to our fauna, and a new genus maybe required for its 

 reception.
