Molytes ocrmanus, L., and its food-plant. -Wl.en collecting Colenptcral.st 

 July, near Hythe, in Kent, I was so fortxmate as to capture three examples ot 

 this insect, two of which were in the act of eating leaves of HemcJeH.n sp^^ul.- 

 liur^r, the « cow-parsnip," presumably the food-plant of the spec.es. The tl^ee 

 specimens were taken at some distance apart, and, in each case, on or neax this 

 plant. Apparently the best time to capture M. germanus - be .ween b and 

 9 a.m. My specimens were all taken between those hours, and dihgent s a.ch 

 failed to dUver any later in the day. As I have been -^^le ^^^^^^^^^^^
