a full account of the structure. The genus I think at present had 

 better be placed between the Ilomalotates and the Pronouieates of 

 Mulsant and Rey. 



The genus Termifotrojjha, just described by Wasmann from South 

 African termitaria (Deutsche ent. Zeitschr., 1899, p. 178), is evidently 

 allied to Dioxeuta, though it differs so much in form that it is clear 

 the two are distinct. 



Dioxeuta microps, sp. nov. 



Piceus, corpore a?iterius nitido, fere imjiunctato, autennis pedihusque 

 c/rctnl/btis, tibiis tarsisque sordide testaceis ; capite parvo, angusto, ahdomine 

 latissimo. Long., 3 mm. 



Antennae slender, not thicker externally, each joint longer than broad, second 

 joint only slightly shorter than the thii-d. Head very small, narrow, shining ; eyes 

 small. Prothorax small, a little broader than the head, rather broader than long ; 

 all the angles rounded, the base and sides very finely margined ; shining, impunctate, 

 with a few short, erect, fine setse. Elytra small, scarcely longer than the thorax. 

 Abdomen much broader than the anterior parts, convex beneath, lateral margins 

 thick ; punctuation indistinct, setse depressed and fine, but distinct. Legs small 

 and slender ; tibiae thin, a little rounded on their outer aspect, the hinder evidently 

 thinner towards the tip ; hind tarsi elongate filiform, the basal joint very long and 

 set with numerous very fine and short wire-like setse beneath.

Only one example was procured. I have little doubt it is a 

 female.

NOTES ON 2ESCHNA C^RULEA AND S03IAT0CRL0RA ARCTICA 

 AND METALLICA IN INVERNESS-SHIRE. 



BY JAMES J. P. X. KING, P.E.S. 



^sciiNA CJ5KULEA. — I have observed this species in widely sepa- 

 rated districts in Strathglass and Glen Affrick ; it occurred at various 

 levels, from 400 ft. to 1200 ft. ; the last specimen taken, a fine c?, was 

 upon August 12th. 



SoMATOCHLORA ARCTICA was taken at 300 ft. level in Strathglass 

 in June, and early in August in Glen Alfrick at 1400 ft. 



SoMATOCULORA METALLICA has been seen for two months from 

 June 15th in Strathglass and Glen Affrick, and is now in very poor 

 condition. The ? is very scarce. I have managed to secure a very 

 nice series. 



The $ hangs from twigs just upon the surface of the water, and 

 vibrates its wings, evidently "calling" the J ; twice I have seen this.
