and "Rebel's Catalog, was incorrectly adopted for the species generally 

 known as galUcolana, Z., but which, as shown by Eagonot, in Ann. 

 Soc. Ent. France, Ixiii, 219 (1894), ought to be called alhiginnna, Gn. 

 jE. alhuffinnna has also been erroneously called " obscurana^' by 

 Wilkinson, Stainton, and others, but ohscurnna is the species des- 

 cribed by Herrich-Schaffer as ravulana. I have often seen, in the 

 National collection, Stephens' original type specimen of ohscurnna, 

 and it is unquestionably identical with rnruhiim, IT.-S., as stated by 

 Mr. W. Warren in Ent. Mo. Mag., xxiv, 8 (1887).

Doryiomua fremnia', Pat/k., cf-c, near Guildford. — Amongst a few Coleoptera 

 taken recently near Griiildford, the following are noteworthy : — Dorytomus tremula', 

 Payk., sparingly, on Popuhis alba, in company with £>. tortrix, L., and D. costiros- 

 iris, Gyll. ; the first mentioned insect, the male of which was not represented in my 

 collection, is apparently not rai-e in the district, tliough I had not previously seen it 

 alive. It is perliaps new to Surrey. Phyllodecta cavifroH>t, Th., Zeugophora sub- 

 spinosa, F., and Psallux rotermundi, Schltz., also occurred on the same trees. Ilister 

 marginatus, Er., three specimens, in a rabbits' burrow, July 13th. Antherophagun 

 silaceus, Herbst, by sweeping, on same date. Strangalia quadrifasciata, L., in 

 rotten beech. Amara infima, Duft., and Harpalus discoidens, F., at Blackheath, May 

 20th. Rhyncolus nler, L., in dead pine, Hurt Wood, in company with Bhagium 

 bifasciatum, F. (including some interesting vars.), May 20th. Cri/phalus abietis, 

 Ratz., Xyleborus saxexeni, Rntz., Hylesimis viftafus, F., Atomaria badia, Er., &c., 

 on the wing, in pine wood, Maroli 30th. Nitidula riifipes,!! , in dead bird. Micro- 

 glosxa piilla, 0[y\\.,\r\ si\\\i\ \)\i.* — G. C. Champion, Horsell, Woking : July 16///,

Epurxa ohlonga, Herbd, at Chobham. — About a fortnight ago I found two 

 specimens ( (? ? ) of an Epiinva ut Cliobhiun, under pine bark, so like E. suturalis, 

 Reitt. (treated as a var. of E. thoracica, Tourii., in the new edition of the European 

 Catalogue), that they seemed at first sight to belong to that species. They are, 

 however, a form of E. oblonga. Herbs!., with the suture of the elytra similarly in- 

 fuscate. E. suturalis has the antennal club entirely testaceous, and the prothorax 

 a little more rounded at the sides, otherwise the two species are very much alike. 

 E. oblonga has not previously been seen by me in this district, though the allied E. 

 pusilla, Herbst, is common at times under sappy pine bark. I also have a specimen 

 of E. oblonga with a dark suture from the Manchester district. — Id. 



Agapanthia lineatocoUis, Don., at Oxford. — On June 21st, and again on June 

 27tli, I met with this beautiful Longicorn not uncommonly in a wet wooded valley 

 in Oxfordshire, less than four miles distant from the centre of the city of Oxford. 



* This species has recently been taken by my son at Woking in a great tit's nest.
