The discoveiy could not have happened at a more opportune time, for 

 the same afternoon I was expecting Mr. Collin to look me up on his 

 way to join his uncle and Col. Yerbuiy at Abergavenny, and I felt 

 sure that my little insect could not fail to interest him. The next 

 morning, therefore, we were early at the place, and between us bagged 

 15 or 16 examples, much the larger share, as was meet, falling to my 

 friend. They were all obtained by sweeping over and over again the 

 path we had trodden out in the tall herbage, the first sweeping or so 

 being less productive than subsequent ones, as if the habit of the 

 insect were to keep close below, and needed some waking up to bring 

 it to light. A few more were taken afterwards, the last capture 

 being 24/8/10. 



I may add that, my own sources of information being inadequate 

 for ascertaining whether it had already been described or not, Mr. 

 Collin kindly searched the authorities and could find nothing answer- 

 ing to it.
