Aeoluthrips duicuIushs \w\\\. ii. for AcohitJiripn mehdencus Uzel 



(nee Hal.). 

 Uzel's examples were found in the flowers of Li/cIiiiIh viscaria, and 

 in view of the discovery of several species of Aeolofhrijyidae attached to 

 special plants particular research may bring other forms to light. 

 Aeolotlirips inttatus Hal. is peculiar to pine and is well described by 

 ]leuter. 



Aeolotlirijjs maciilosns Bagn. var. cosfalis nov. 



Until it is possible to compare Uzel's examples of the species I must regard 

 this form as a viir. of macidosvs. It differs from Uzel's description ai)d tioure 

 of " vielaleucus" in the "spot" on the fore-winp-, which in tin* example before 

 nie takes the ibrni of an elongated patch mucli as in mclalexcus, and occupvinj>- 

 about one-sixth the total length of the fore-marjrin. The iipical half of eacii 

 fore-tibia and the distal ends of the other tibiae and all tarsi are yellowisli 

 white.

 conuected donble bar occupying on the hiud-margiu 06 the total length of 

 wing, and about 0'5 on the fore-margin, broken antero-mediauly by a hirge 

 clear patch much longer than the costal length of the "bars" iiud extending 

 posteriorly almost to the hind-margin much as in conjunctus l*riesn. Antennae 

 c-omparativelv short and stout, with joints 3 and 4 sub-equal; relative lengths

Lonytcornia in the Tunbridge Wells district, 1910. — The following notes of 

 last season's collecting may be of interest to Coleopterists. All the species 

 mentioned were taken within three miles of Tuubridge Wells. 



Tetrojmim yahrieli Weise, sixteen taken from a dead standing larch-tree in 

 a wood. I found it difficult to seciu-e perfect specimens, as the insect sits just 

 outside its burrow and retreats within at the slightest alarm, it is then very 

 dillicult to obtain without injuiy. I also met with one specimen in a timber 

 yard in the town. Clytus urietis L., very common. C. mt/sticus L., very lucal,
