 Orthofi/lus fascescens, Eeuter, Pet. Nouv. Ent., No. 138, Dec, 1875. 



Olive-brown, covered ■with fine pale and black hairs intermixed. Thorax vrith 

 a slight transverse impression behind the callosities. Elytra, in the $ with nearly 

 straight parallel sides, iu the $ slightly curved ; membrane dark and iridescent, 

 slightly paler at the extreme apex of the cuneus. Antennae brown, 1st joint shorter 

 than the 4th, 3rd about two-thirds of 2nd, 3rd and 4th together about equal to 2nd.

This very distinct species was found by Mr. Greo. Norman o£ 

 Forres, on the 21st July last, and was afterwards taken by him in 

 profusion on pines in the Cluny Hill grounds, but very locally, as he 

 says he took it on some dozen isolated trees, but nowhere else in the 

 whole neighbourhood. He has asked me to forward a description of 

 it to this Magazine.

DESCEIPTION OP A NEW SPECIES OF SETODES OCCUERING IN 

 THE BEITISH ISLES. 



BY R. McLACHLAN, F.R.8. 



At p. 70 ante, Mr. J. E. Fletcher recorded a single ? example of 

 a Setodes, taken by Mr. J. B. Hodgkinson at Windermere, in Septem- 

 ber, 1876, which I concurred in thinking was probably undescribcd. 

 It did not then appear to me desirable to describe it from this some- 

 what mutilated individual. Last month, the Eev. A. E. Eaton made 

 a short tour in Ireland, and though he had few opportunities for ento- 

 mologiziug, he nevertheless brought back a small collection. In it I 

 find six examples of this same Setodes, captured on the 18th August 

 at Muckross, Kilhirney, not far from the Abbey : he says that at dusk 

 it was coming up in great quantities from the lake. I hear that Mr. 

 Hodgkinson has again found it at Windermere. As there is no doubt 

 whatever that it is undescribed, I proceed to give a description. 



Setodes argentipunctella, n. sp. 



Greyish-yellow, probably greenish in life ; the abdomen greenish (bright green 

 iu the ? , but becoming greyish in the dry (J). Head and palpi clothed (the head
