original type of F. vicaria, from Korea, with I he result tliat he considers it a distinct 

 and hitherto uiidescribed species allied lo F. vicaria. There is a pair in my collec- 

 tion, and a pair in the IJerlin Museum. The female resembles the male, but is a 

 trillc darker in colour ; the same impressions are present on the head, and the 

 forceps are of course simple. — Malcolm BtJKU, Sibertswold, near Dover: August

ANTHOCORIS LIMBATUS, Fiub., AN ADDITION TO THE BRITISH 



HEMIPTERA. 



BY HUGU A. SAUNDERS, 13. A. 



While staying with my fiilher, Mr. Edward Saunders, at V\''oking 

 in the early part of Se|iteinl)er, I was fortunate enough to discover 

 this novelty to the British list. 



Having only just began to collect tlemiplera, I was very careful 

 to take nearly every specimen of Anthocoris that i could find, owing 

 to my inability to distinguish the various species apart. Among those 

 brought back one afternoon were specimens of A. nemorum, A. nemo- 

 ralis, A. confuaus, A. (jallarum-almi, and what subsequently turned 

 out to be two males of A. limbatus. .\s I knew that these must have 

 come from some sallows I had been beating along the canal near 

 Woodham, 1 went over the same ground again a few days later, and 

 was able to locate the exact bush and obtain a few more specimens, 

 but only two were females. 



A curious fact is that, although the branches of the sallow bushes 

 were very much intermingled, 1 could ouly beat A. limbatus from the 

 branches of one particular bush.

[This little species can be recognised at once from Anthocoris si//vesiris, F., 

 its nearest ally, which it resembles in the entirely shining hemelytra, by the broadly 

 testaceous base of the thorax. It is also much smaller, and has the thora.\ pos- 

 teriorly more eniarginate and its sides converging more gradually to the apical 

 margin. — E. S. 



Eumicrus rufus, Mull., Sfc, near Ouildford. Since the publication of my note 

 on the capture of various Coleoptera near Guildford {antea p. 184), the following 

 species have been taken in the same district : — Eumicrus rufus, Miill., eight speci- 

 mens, and Sphindus diihius, Gyll., in abundance, from an old beech stump ; Affa- 

 thidium confusum, Bris., four specimens, and Cis alni, GylL, from fungus on a dead 

 oak bough.— Geo. C. Champion, Ilorsell, Woking: August, 1907.
