192 THE entomologist's record. 



transversalis and distinguenda in Melanophthalma, and the three remain- 

 ing species of the Beare and Donisthorpe Cataloi/ne — fuscula, tnmcatella, 

 shnilata — in L'orticaria. He then describes two new species : (1) C. 

 Imibiana found in the New Forest in August, 1908, on oak, and (2) 

 C. fonieriana named on a single specimen, apparently a J , found at 

 Braemar in July, 1871, and alluded to in Fowler's Col. Brit. Isles, iii., 

 p. 294, as a variety of C. similata. 



Mr. Newbery adds Lesteva fontinalis, Kies., to the list of British 

 species, on specimens taken by Mr. de la Garde on February 19th, 

 1908, and March 2nd, 1910, amongst wet moss on the face of the 

 cliffs at Shaldon, Devon, in company with L. pubescens and L. jnmctata : 

 Champion adds that all the southern specimens standing in his 

 collection as L. pubescens, and taken from moss along the margin of a 

 small stream at Sandown, Isle of Wight, are referable to this species. 



Dr. Sharp diagnoses as new species — Gabrius stipes from Plymouth 

 (Keys), Mickleham (Champion), Cambridge (Sharp); (iabrius pennatus, 

 England and Scotland, rather common, without more exact indication; 

 Gabrius velo.c, on the banks of the river at Lymington ; Oabrins 

 keijsianns, Slapton Ley (Champion and Keys); Gabrius oppendiculatus, 

 England and Scotland; Gabrius bishopi, Beattock and Thornhill, very 

 rare (Bishop and Sharp). 



Mr. Newbery records the capture of a single example of the well- 

 known southern Trechus suhnotatus, Dej., by Mr. P. de la Garde, at 

 Shaldon, near Teignmouth, February 28th, 1910. 



Mr. J. Edwards distinguishes the three species of Swicro7iy.r, 

 Schon. — .S\ coecus, Reich. (= I'issodespyipnaeus, Curt.), Weymouth, etc. ; 

 S. junijermanniae, Reich., Bournemouth, Woking, Esher, Shirley, 

 Mickleham, Caterham, Guildford, etc. (Champion); .S. reichi, GylL, 

 Folkestone (E. A. Waterhouse), Caterham (Champion). 



Mr. E. A. Butler adds I'neciloscytus ))alustris, Reut., to the list of 

 British Hemiptera, from specimens captured in marshy hollows on the 

 Pendine Burrows, Carmarthenshire, and Rookley Wilderness, Isle of 

 Wight, in August and September. 



Dr. Wood continues (E.M.M.) his account of the British I'horidae, 

 and describes a number of new species — Phora pallens, P. spinata, P. 

 serrata, P. rerralU, P. latifrons, P. lata, P. ani/elicae, P. lomiipalpis, 

 P. (ireyaria, P. rujifrons, P. pectnralis, P. involuta and P. siniple.r. 



The Rev. F.B. Morice records (E.M.M.) the capture by Mr. 

 Donisthorpe, of Xeurotonia iiiandibularis, Zadd., a sawfly new to 

 Britain, at Brockenhurst, on May 28th, 1910. 



Two more beautiful plates of Mr. Culot's Noctuelles et Geometres 

 d' Europe with accompanying letterpress have just come to hand as pt. 4 

 of this excellent work. We are rather at a loss to know whence Mr. 

 Culot has derived the name N. dahlii ab. bicolor, Obth. The figure is 

 an excellent one of our British .V. daldii ab. rufa, Tutt, F>rit. Noctuae 

 etc., ii., p. 114. We did not know that we had been forestalled in the 

 naming of this common British 5 form. The plates are really splendid, 

 and any of our collectors of Noctuids who have not yet got a copy 

 should write to Mr. Culot, Villa-les-Iris, Grand Pre, Geneve, for 

 details. 



Our further congratulations to the Societe Lepidopterologique de 

 Geneve on the publication of pt. 1 of the second volume of its Bulletin. 

 So many of our British lepidopterists have to be considered Switzers
