Rhynchixla prolixa, Meig. — five $ i and 2 ? ? from Selsley, Glos. This 

 species, I believe, is quite new to the British list, and is a verj distinct one. 



Olivier ia lateralis, F. — West Kunton, abundant on ragwort. Always common, 

 and it seems always associated with ragwort, and near Cley, Norfolk, on the salt 

 marshes, there seemed to be a dozen at least on every head of bloom. 



Micrupalpus vulpinus, Fall. — common everywhere I have collected. In great 

 numbers in Wyre Forest last September, also taken at West Kunton. 



Erigone radicum, F. — West Runton. Another of our common species occur- 

 ring everywhere. E. rudis, Fall. {^= strenua, Meig.). — Selsley and Cranham, Glos. 

 Like the last, very generally common. This seems to be a spring species, which I 

 have seen in great numbers in May and early June on Euphorbia flowers, ifcc. 

 Radicum seems to be more of a summer species, and nearly all of my long series 

 were taken in August. 



Tachinafera, L. — Cranham, Glos. At Wyre Forest in September it was almost 

 as abundant as M. vulpinus referred to above ; the two species were on nearly every 

 head of bloom of any kind. It is always a common species. 



Plagia ruralis, Fall.- Chalford, Glos., and Wyre Forest. F. {Paraplagia) 

 trepida, Mg. — Selsley, Glos. 



Roeselia paUipes, Fall. {^^ a )diqua, ¥ all.). — common at West Kunton, but I 

 have not met with the species anywhere else. 



Alophora {Paralophora) pusilla, F. — Chalford, Glos. 



Trixa aestroidea, K. D. — Chalford and Selsley, Glos., and Wyre Forest. 



Phyto melanocephala, Mg. — Selsley, Glos., = probably this species. P. parvi- 

 coriiis, Mg. — West Kunton, perhaps only a variety of above. 



Species?. — probably new, and probably also requiring a new genus. It seems 

 to come near to Stecenia, but is separated from it by possession of hairy cheeks, and 

 by the hinder cross vein coming nearly to the middle of the first hind marginal 

 cell, instead of nearer to the small cross vein, as in Stevenia. One specimen, $ , 

 from West Runton. 



Brachycoma devia, Kond. — one ^ West Kunton. 



Frauenfeldia trilineata, Mg. — 3 $ i and 2 ? V from West Runton. This 

 species I believe has not been known as British before. There is an element of 

 doubt about the specific identity, but there is no doubt about the genus ; and no 

 species of the genus occurs in our lists. 



Clista lepida, Meig. — several from West Runton. This is the same species as 

 those mentioned by Dr. Meade in his annotated list as moerens and cenescens. I do 

 not think, however, that Dr. Meade had correctly identified them, and, moreover, I 

 feel sure that his moerens represented the male, and eenescens the female of the same 

 species. Lepida, Meig., was vci'y insufficiently described, but my specimens agree 

 with the description, as far as it goes, and do not quite agree with any other. 



lleteronyclda chcetoneura, B. and B.— West Runton, Norfolk, Chalford and 

 Selsley, Glos. One specimen only from each place. 



Nyciia halterata, Pz. — common at Selsley, Glos., also one from Chalford. 



Engyops micronyx, B. and B.— two $ $ from Cranham, Glos. A distinct 

 species quite new to Britain. Rondani, who founded the genus, wrote Eggisops.
