The specimens captured were Tery tender, as though having just changed to the 

 perfect form, and, confirming this supposition, the puptc were in my net in some 

 numbers.— John Scott, 1, St. Mildred Terra:e, Burnt Ash Hill, Lee, S.E. : June 

 ZOth, 1876. 



Capture of Aphalara nervosa, Forst. — This is an addition of some importance 

 to the list of British Psyllidce, which will very shortly be published in the Trans- 

 actions of the Entomological Society ; it is the species to which I there refer when 

 comparing differences with my new A. radiata. I happened to see a single specimen 

 taken by Mr. Douglas, who informed me he had recently beaten it fi'om Achillea mille- 

 folium at Bromley. As soon as an opportunity occurred, I set to work in search of 

 it, and, in one locality near here, I found it on the Achillea in profusion. A com- 

 plete description of it, and other species yet undescribed, will shortly follow in an 

 appendix to the paper alluded to ; but, for the sake of aiding others to recognise the 

 creature, I give a brief diagnosis. Entire insect green ; elytra clear, transparent ; 

 nerves next the apex more or less broadly margined with brown or black. — Id., 

 June 30th, 1876. 



Diagnoses of certain species of PsyllidcB ivhich may he expected to occur in 

 Britain. — As the season is not yet too far advanced to look for many of the species 

 belonging to tliis group which we know are natives, neither is it too late to try and 

 add those of which I here give short descriptions, and which ought to be found in 

 this country. 



Teioza jtjnipeei, Meyer-Diir. — Vermilion. Face : lobes short, reddish-yellow. 



AntenncB : 1st and 2nd joints reddish, 3rd to 8th white or reddish-white, 9th 



brown, 10th black. Flytra pale testaceous, apex somewhat obtuse, nerves more 



or less red. Legs reddish-yellow. 



This is a small species, and, as its name indicates, is to be found on the juniper. 

 Perhaps those who may be " beating about the bush" for insects of other orders, 

 would keep an eye open for this little beauty. I have a pair named by the author, 

 who thinks that, from the shortness of the antenna) and the blunted apex of the 

 elytra, it, with one or two others, ought to form a new genus, an idea which I cannot 

 endorse. 



E.HINOCOLA SPECIOSA, Flor. — Head yellow, minutely and sparingly punctured with 

 dark brown. Antennce pale yellow, two terminal joints black. Pronotum dark 

 brown. Flytra whitish, scarcely transparent, more or less tliickly punctured 

 with dark brown, the puncturing more or less confluent, and almost forming 

 three transverse bands, placed one across the apex of the outer basal cell, another 

 across the middle of the disc, and a third next the apex, first and last darkest ; 

 claviis with two patches along the dorsal nerve, and the apex of the inner basal 

 cell punctured with dark brown. JFinys milk-white, dorsal margin next tlie 

 base punctured with dark brown. Legs pale yellow. Thighs more or less 

 brownish or black. Abdomen : above, black, two or three of the segments nar- 

 rowly margined with yellow. 

 The colour of and characters on the elytra bear a somewhat rougli resemblance 



to those oi Aphalara exilis ; but the difference in form, and the slignia always con-
