Note on the Stephensian records of Psylliodes cyanoptera III. — In the 

 September number of this Magazine, p. 204, Mr. Donisthorpe asks for the 

 original reference to the Stephensian records for this species quoted by Fowler 

 (Col. Brit. Isles, IV, 391). It is much easier to supply than to explain. The 

 exact words are quoted from Steph. 111., Mandib. IV, 302. They are repeated 

 in a slightly varying form in the Manual, p. 293. "London district;^ Bristol; 

 Svxffolk." Both these qviotations i-efer to Haltica tripudians Kirby. G. R. Water- 

 house, Cat., p. 95, identifies this species as Psylliodes cyq,noptera 111., and 

 definitely states that it is the trip^idians of the Kirby collection. The difficulty 

 of accepting this identification lies in the fact that Stephens places his tripudians 

 Kirby in the genus Haltica, which in the " Illustrations " he describes as having 

 " Tarsi postici breves, in apice tibiae inserti," as opposed to his genus Macroc- 

 nema, " Tarsi postici elongati, ab apice tibiae remoti," by which, as Fowler says, 

 " This very distinct genus [Psylliodes Latr. = Macrocnema Stephens] may easily 

 be known." — E. G, Batford, 2, Rockingham Street, Barnsley : November 1st,

Monochamus sartor L. in London : a correction.— We are requested to note 

 that the name of the Longicorn recorded on p. 201 by Mr. E. S. Mitford as 

 Monochamus sartor L. should be M. sutor L. — Eds. 



Hemiptera in Cumberland. — In "The Naturalist" for August, 1916 (pp. 

 252 — 257), Mr. F. H. Day, F.E.S., records 173 Hemiptera in a prelim- 

 inary list of these insects in Cumberland, to which Mr. J. Murray {I.e. 

 p. 349) adds two more species. Since I handed my list of captvires to Mr. Day, 

 I have identified the following six additional species and one variety, which 

 brings the total up to 181 for the county. Lygiis rubricatus Fall., Great Salkeld, 

 22.8.1910; Orthotylus concolor Kb., Great Salkeld, 27.8.1913; Heterocordylus 

 genistae Scop., Great Salkeld, 26.7.1905 ; Malacocoris ehlorizans Fall., Great 

 Salkeld, 27.8.1913 (also recorded by Mr. J. Murray; Onychumenis decolor Fall.,
