both, but. the unlikenesses are greater than one is in the habit of 

 associating with sex. It is not uncommon for the costa to be a little 

 longer in the female, but here the difference is not trifling ; the legs, 

 too, of females are 'sometimes paler, but here the parti-coloured 

 middle femora seem to point to a specialized form of colouring rather 

 than to sexual influence ; whilst an equal stumbling block lies in the 

 smaller and more crowded tibial cilia, for sex seldom, I think, plays a 

 part in modifying these. 



UUginosa, n. sp. In boggy places — Shobdon Marsh, Middle Park 

 Pool, and round the soft margins of a spring in Fishpool Hill, one of 

 the woods of my home district ; from July to October, but rather 

 sparingly. 



Flava, Fall. A common and widely distributed British insect ; 

 to be found at any time tliroughout the summer and autumn. 



Collini, n. sp. A few of both sexes have been picked up here 

 and there in the woods of this neighbourhood, in May and June, and 

 again in September and October. Related to flava, Fall., but quite 

 distinct. Although the costal fringe is longer than in any one of its 

 allies, the insect nevertheless belonijs clearly to the short-fringed 

 group.

Myrmecopora brevipes, ButI, : a correction. — An unfortunate misprint occurs 

 on p. 30 in mj article on Myrmecopora brenipes. in Ent. Mo. Mag., February, 1909. 

 For "less shining" on line 20 read "less dull." — E. A.. Butlee, 56, Cecile Park, 

 Crouch End, N. : February 13th, 1909. 



Myrmecopora brevipes, Butl., in the Isle of Man. — The specimens which I 

 have recorded from the Isle of Man as Myrmecopora uvida, Er., all agree with the 

 description of M. brevipes by Mr. E. A. Butler (Ent. Mo. Mag., vol. xx, p. 29). I 

 forwarded a pair to Mr. Butler, and he confirms my identification. The species 

 occurs not uncommonly under seaweed. My examples are labelled Kirkmichael, 

 31.8.01 ; Kentraugh, 7.4.04, 5.9.04, 18.3.06; Spaldrick, 1.4.04, 19.3.05.— J. Harold

Meligethes subriigosus, OylL, and other Coleoptera new to Cumberland. — Last 

 Whit-Monday, while sweeping the long herbage overhanging a ditch where a year 

 previously I had taken Micropeplus tesserula. Curt., rather freely, I was fortunate to 

 capture two specimens of the rare Meligethes subrugosus, Gyll. Fowler mentions
