Z THE ENTOMOLOGIST S RECORD. 



Ocyiisa defecta, Muls. et Rey. — Introduced by Mr. E. A. Newbery 

 {loc. cit., p. 150) on a specimen taken at Tiverton, Devon, by Mr. S. (x. 

 Rendel, in November, 1908 ; it is most nearly allied to O. iiiaura, Er. 



Calodera rufescena, Kraatz. — Introduced by Mr. G. C. Champion 

 (loc. cit., p. 52) on specimens taken at Sandown, Isle of Wight, and at 

 Colchester. It is allied to C. n'paria, Er. 



Howalota scotica, sp. n. — Described {Eut. Iter., xxi., p. 38) by Mr. 

 E. G. Elliman from specimens taken by Mr. Douisthorpe and the 

 writer out of flood refuse on the banks of the Spey at Nethy Bridi>-e, in 

 September, 1908. 



Howalota parois, Muls. et Rey. — Introduced by Mr. G. C. Champion 

 (Ent. Mo. Mai/., xlv., p. 5) on a specimen taken near Guildford. It 

 has the general facies of H. melanaria, Man., but is not nearly so large, 

 and has much shorter antennae. 



Homalota fm^Ki, ^Qvnh, — nitens, Filss. — Introduced liy Mr. G. C. 

 Champion {loc. cit., p. 31) on a specimen taken at Mickletfam in 1875 ; 

 it has much the general appearance of a I'lacusa. 



Mi/nnecopora hrecipea, sp. n. — Described by Mr. E. A. Butler (loc. 

 cit., p. 29) from specimens taken at Tintagel, Plymouth, etc. It differs 

 from M. uvida, Er., in its proportionately shorter antennji^ and legs; it 

 is a less robust insect. 



Kpipeda niyricans, Thoms. — Introduced by Dr. .Joy {tor. cit., p. 268), 

 on two specimens taken under pine bark at Blair Atholl, Perthshire, 

 on September 5th, 1909. 



Lutkrohiinn diliitiiiH, Erichs. — This species was also introduced by 

 Dr. Joy {loc. cit., p. 268) on specimens found under stones on the shore 

 of Loch Ericht, and in flood refuse on the river Truim, in September 

 and October, 1909. 



Bledins denticollis, Fauv. — Introduced by Mr. F. H. Fryer (/or. cit., 

 p. 6) on specimens taken on the banks of the Nethy at Nethy Bridge. 

 Dr. Sharp also took it at the same place. It is veicy like B. npacus, 

 Block., but is distinguishable by the right-angled tooth-like projecting 

 hind angles of the thorax. 



Tltinohiitfi pallidum, sp. n. — Described {loc. cit., p. 4) by Mr. E. A. 

 Newbery from specimens taken by Mr. Britten under stones at the side 

 of the river Eden, Great Salkeld, Cumberland. It may be known by 

 its entirely testaceous colour, and the structure of the antenna'. 



Hoiiialiuiii brevicolle, Thoms. — Introduced by Dr. Joy {loc. cit., p. 

 102) on a specimen taken in carrion at Great Salkeld by Mr. Britten; 

 it comes near to e.d<inuiii,(ay\\. Dr. Sharp was of opinion {loc. cit., p. 

 135) that the correct name was H. foioniinosHin, Milklin, but he later 

 (p. 214) abandoned this idea ; he had captured the insect in Scotland. 



I'roteiniiscrcnulatns, Pandelle. — Introduced by Dr. Sharp {loc. cit., 

 p. 267) on specimens found at Nethy Bridge ; it is like 1\ brachypteras, 

 F., but is blacker and more shining, and the base of the antennae is 

 not clear red. 



Scydiimentis barncviUei, Reitt. — Dr. Joy introduced {loc. cit., p. 54) 

 this species on specimens taken out of cormorants' and gulls' nests 

 from the Scilly Isles. The identification was confirmed by Reitter, 

 who was of opinion that barnerillei was a synonym of poiveri, Fow. 

 Dr. Joy says this is not so. It may be mentioned that the latest 

 European Catalogue treats poireri as a synonym of acittellaris, Miill.
