4 THE ENTOMOIiOGIST S RECORD. 



Pitj/'iiii'iu's tn-panatiis, Noerdl. — Introduced by Dr. Joy {Knt. Mo. 

 Mail; xlv., p. 269) on a specimen swept up at Blair Atholl, Perthshire, 

 on September 3rd, 1909. 



Edrrhesopa jordani, sp. n. — This is an exotic insect found at Kew 

 Gardens, new to science, and described by Mr. W. E. Sharp {lor. cit., 

 p. 221). It was introduced in a consignment of lily seeds from the 

 Tanganyika district of Africa ; it is a very remarkable and fine 

 Anthribid. 



Du'titota tratacca, Kraatz. — This insect Avas found by Mr. W. E. 

 Sharp at Shirley, in the debris of decayed wood [Inc. cit., p. 269). It 

 was first described from the East Indies. It appears to have become 

 acclimatised in South Europe, and possibly may become so hei'e ; in 

 the meantime it must go into the special list of known introduced 

 insects. 



The following new varieties and aberrations have been added :— 

 Tric/tnptcn/.v intermedia var. t/toiimoni, I. B. Ericson.— Introduced by 

 Mr. Donisthorpe (Knt. Kecord, xxi., p. 58) on specimens taken l)y 

 him and the writer at Newtonmore, in June, 1907. 



Coccinella lOpiinetata ab. conjiitem, Haworth. — This was also 

 introduced by Mr. Donisthorpe (loc. cit., p. 136); he captured a 

 specimen at Darenth on May 16th, 1908. 



Sitaris )in(ralis, Forst. ab. fiava, n. ab. — This new aberration was 

 described by Mr. Hamm {Knt. Mo. Ma;/., xlv., p. 277) on specimens 

 taken at Oxford ; it has the whole of the elytra, wing membrane, and 

 abdomen clear yellow in colour. 



CrjiptopkwjHs palliiliia var. an/enteus, n. var. — Dr. Joy exhibited 

 this new variety at a meeting of the Entomological Society of London, 

 on November 8rd {loc. cit., p. 284); it differs from the type by having 

 silvery pubescence. 



We have thus an addition of 28 species and 4 varieties and 

 aberrations : two, however, are introduced species, and one at least 

 of the others is a somewhat doubtful species. 



In view of the length of the above list of additions, I can only 

 afford space for a brief notice of the capture of rare species during the 

 year. Dr. Joy records Olophnun conuwile, Gyll., from Ben Wyvis ; 

 Mr. Keys, Anthicus angmtatuH, Curt., from Bigbury Bay, in plenty ; 

 Mr. Butler, Cathorniiocerus waritiinun, Rye, from Tintagel (this insect 

 has been found recently by Mr. C. J. C. Pool, in the old localitj' — 

 Portsmouth); Mr. Day, 21di;/ethcs subrunosus, Gyll., from Cumberland ; 

 Mr. de la Garde, Sibinia .sot/«^/.s. Germ., and (Jardiophonis eijaiseti, 

 Hbst., both in numbers f rom Braunton ; Commander Walker, Trimimn. 

 hrevicorne, Reich., from Cobham Park, and Neuraphes ruhicnndus, 

 Schaum, from Strood (Mr. Collins has also taken it at Oxford); Mr. 

 Cameron, Emus hlrtits, L., from Sheppey, in fair numbers; Mr. Bedwell, 

 Hetaerius ferruffinens, 01., and Cassida fastnom, SchalL, from Box Hill, 

 and what appears to be Hi/pera meles, F., from Coulsdon ; Mr. Tomlin, 

 Tropideren sepicola, ¥., and Cionns lonijicollis, Bris., from Harewoocl 

 Forest. In conclusion, I may mention that Mr. Donisthorpe and the 

 writer took Trechns rivularis, Gyll., at W^icken Fen in September. 



Many interesting notes have appeared in our entomological 

 journals. Mr. Newbery {Ent. Mo. Ma;/., xlv., pp. 32 and 63), in his 

 " Notes on various British Coleoptera," pointed out that our Adraatus 

 limbatns, Fab., was now called on the continent A. nitididas, Marsh,
