244 THE entomologist's record. 



any references to Micro-Lepidoptera from any part of the world, in 

 order to make the " 8eparata section " of the hbrary as perfect as 

 possible. Anyone with [Separata of the Victoria County History liats 

 of lepidoptera is particularly requested to note. 



Mr. Durrant further wants for the Museum, examples of British 

 species of Cordyceps on British larv«. Material should be sent to 

 Mr. J. Hartley Durrant, Natural History Museum, South Kensington. 



Mr. Bankes discusses [Ent. Mo. May.) certain Tineids, and 

 concludes that Monopis wearerella, Scott, " Zool.," 1858, pp. 5963- 

 5964 ( = seinispilotella, Strand), is distinct specifically from M. rusticella. 



The Rev. W. W. Fowler describes a new Coleopteron, Galerucella 

 feryuttsoni, captured at Fossil, near Glasgow, in early June and again 

 in August on Comarum palustve. But is not this the species that Mr. 

 A. Adie Dalglish first took in 1900 on Fossil Marsh, and that is men- 

 tioned in Fergusson's list of Coleoptera, published in the Clydesdale 

 Handbook, p. 296, 1901, as a fine dark variety of G. nymphaeae ' If 

 this be so, should not some reference have been made to Mr. A. Adie 

 Dalgiish's captures, as they appear to have been the first recorded 

 examples of the species taken in Britain '? 



We have received the 5th livraison of Mr. Culot's excellent work 

 on the Noctuids of Europe, the plates, if possible, better than ever. 

 We learn that the stones on which the earlier plates were engraved 

 have to be re-used in February next, and that after that time the early 

 parts will only be purchasable at an increased price. Any lepidop- 

 terists who have hitherto held over their subscriptions to this excellent 

 work are advised to make up their minds before the price of the early 

 parts is raised.
