A</riou jiiicl/a, Jj., Parknasillii ; one S only. 



I't/rrkosoma nymphula, Sulz., Kenmarc, Watui'ville, Parknasilla. 

 Lestes sponaa, Hans., Kenmare, Watci'villc, Parknasilla. — R. McLaculan, 

 Lewisliam, London : Norember 3rd, 1901. 



Hemerobiiia concinnus, rar. qnadrifasciatus. — As beai'ing on the question of 

 the identitj of these two forms or species {ante pp. 1()3 and 201), I may mention 

 that on June 23rd, 1804, I beat a few specimens of the " variety," in company with 

 plenty of the " type," at Wisley Pond, Surrey ; the exact locality being the tall fir 

 trees near the side of the pond opposite to that on which the Hotel stands. — C. A. 

 Briggs, Kock House, Lyn mouth, N. Devon : October \2th, 1901. 



Neuroptera at Stornoivay. — I took advantage of Mr. McArtluir's proposed 

 entomological trip to Stornoway this season to ask him to keep for me any stray 

 Neuroptera that he came across, especially Ephemeridce and Trichoptera. I append 

 the results : — 



Odonata. — Lihellula quadrimaculata, a nice scries ; the species was evidently 

 common, and of the usual Scottish type, but perhaps not so bright as some of the 



Highland specimens. /E.schiia juncea, three specimens. Pyrrhosoma nym- 



phula, a fine series, evidently common. Enallagma cyathigerum, twenty c? , but 



only four ? ; the $ S showed variation in the form of the spot on the second 



segment. Ischnura elegann, three $ and one $ , all rather small ; a somewhat 



northern record for this species. 



Tuichopteka. —Only eleven specimens in all, but one, Limnophilus elegans, 



was a prize I had not expected from Stornoway. Phryganea varia,^ow a^Gci- 



inens, rather lightly coloured. Limnophilus elegans, one specimen, but Mr. 



McArthur thinks he had a few others which came to grief. L. marmoratus, three 

 specimens, showing some divergence from the type, especially in the more oblique 



position of the inner whitish mai'kings in the middle of the wing. Steiiophylax 



permistus, one specimen. Seriocostoma personatum, one specimen. — Hydropsyche 



pelluciduiiis, one specimen, $ . — Id. 



Peribalns venmlix in Suffolk. — Amongst a collection of Hemiptera I recently 

 received from iVIr. Claude Morley for naming I was delighted to find a specimen of 

 Peribalus vernalis, WolH'. Mr. Morley states that he took it on May 25tli this 

 year, on a young poplar tree in Bentley Woods, near Ipswich, " beaten in the after- 

 noon about three on a warm windless day." On the continent it is said to occur on 

 oak and birch, as well as on some low plants. The occurrence of this rare species 

 in Suffolk, so soon after the record of its appearance for the first time for many 

 years in Sussex (see Ent. Mo. Mag., vol. xxxvi, p. 132), is particularly interesting 

 as showing the wide distribution of the species, notwithstanding its infrequent 

 occurrence. This appears to be the fourth recorded British specimen to which a 

 definite locality can be attached, though Saunders, in his " Hemiptera- Heteroptera 

 of the British Islands," mentions two others without locality. The other records 

 being from Weston-super-Mare, Cumberland, and Sussex, the insect may well be 

 looked for at places intermediate between these widely separated localities. Mr. 

 Morley has most kindly presented me with this very interesting addition to the 

 Hemipterous fauna of Suffolk.— E. A. Butler, 53, Tollington Park, N. : Novem-
