JTydrxna britteni, Joy, from Central France. — Immediately after the descrip- 

 tion of this insect was published (Ent.' Mo. Mag., vol. xliii, p. 79), I received 

 a (? specimen of a Sydrxna from Capt. Saintc Claire Dcville, of Bouges, witli a 

 note suggesting that it answered peifectly to the diagnosis of 11. britteni, and I jun 

 pleased to be able to confirm this identification. Capt. Deville has kindly sent me 

 the following most interesting particulars of its capture. "The insects" (he 

 possesses more ? ?) "were taken in April and July, 19(io, in the bed of a small 

 stream which is very cold, being at about 750 metres altitude, in the neighbourhood 

 of Arleuf. This place is among the granite mountains of Morvan, fi kiloni. to the 

 east of Chateau-Chinon. I have noticed that the mountain fauna of the centre of 

 France is very similar to the British fauna, and as to that of our Western coasts, 

 it is absolutely identical." — NoKM AN IJ. Joy, Brudfield, near Reading : April i'Htli, 

 1907.
