NOTES ON COLLECTING, ETC. 115 



Sunbury. Plucdon tiDiiiilulum is recorded from Isleworth, in 1 2fh 

 Report Colorado Biological Association (1889). Canon Fowler has 

 mentioned in his writings several beetles from " London district " or 

 " near London," but whether these occur in Middlesex we are not 

 informed. 



Neuroptera. — SipJilurjis armatus is recorded by Mr. A. E. 

 Eaton {E7it. Mo. Mag., 1888, 31). Neurofiia clathrata in the 

 Tottenham marshes is noted by Mr. McLachlan {Eiit. Mo. Mag., 1888, 

 67 and 173). Mr. McLachlan also notes Agrypnia picta from Highgate. 

 Raphidia londinensis from near Potter's Bar, is mentioned by Mr. 

 F. Milton {Entoi/i., 1888, 323). Brachycentriis siibfuibilus occurs on 

 the banks of the River Lea (W. C. Boyd, Eut. Mo. Mag., 1889, 30S). 

 InEfitom., 1889, 189-190, the Rev. Dr. Walker mentions Libellula, Siatis, 

 and Fa?iorpa. To these I may perhaps add one or two unrecorded 

 captures. I have taken Ccenis halterata (kindly named for me by 

 Mr. McLachlan) at Hammersmith, by the Thames. Mr. F. G. Fenn 

 sends me word of a Chrysopa, apparently C. tenella — a rare species — 

 found at Bedford Park, Chiswick. Some published notes on the insects 

 of Bedford Park appear in Entom., 1887, 43-44. 



Orthoptera. — Here the records are scanty indeed. Mr. S. T. Klein 

 found Phasgonura viridissinia at Willesden, and, I believe, recorded it. 

 Pacliytylus migratorius is quoted by Mr. E. Shaw from Hampstead 

 (olii)i)- — and one may mention that in Gard. Chroii.., 1857, the same 

 species is reported in London. The papers of Mr. Shaw in Ent. Mo. 

 Mag., and of Mr. E. J. Miller in Entom., afford us records of Stenobothrus 

 elegans, Meconetna varium, Fhyllodro7nia germanica, Periplaneta ameri- 

 cana, Panchlora tnadene, and Blabtra gigantea. It mav be well to 

 mention that Stenobothrus lineatus, recorded in 1886, from Bedford 

 Park, must be regarded as more than doubtful, as the identification of 

 the species was founded on British Museum material, concerning which 

 see Mr. Shaw in Ejit. Mo. Mag. 



Hymenoptera. — Monomoriwn pharaonis is indicated as from London 

 by M. A. Bellevoye {An. de la Soc. Ent. de France, viii., 1888). Sirex 

 juvencus (S. Robinson, Entom., 1888, 282) and S. gigas (H. D. Sykes, 

 Entom., 1888, 323 ; S. Robinson, Entom., 1889, 117) come in for their 

 share of notice. Mr. S. T. Klein {Journ. of Micr. and Nat Sci, 1887) 

 records Tripoxylon figulus, Megachile centuncularis, Osmia riifa, and 

 Chrysis ignita from Willesden. Apts mellifica ligustica, domesticated, 

 is noticed from Willesden, by Mr. Klein, and from Bedford Park, by 

 Mr. F. G. Fenn {An. Rept. Bedford Park N. H. and Gard. Soc. for 

 1886-7, P- 6). Bracon brcTicornis is reported a parasite on Ephcstia in 

 London by Mr. Klein, in The Miller, 1887,446. Lampro7wta {^)^.) 

 are reported in Entom., 1888, 323, and 1889, 190. 



Lepidoptera. — Here we get a few papers enumerating many, if 

 common species. Dr. Kendall, in Entom., 1887, 199, records London 

 species, as also does Prof. Meldola, Entom., 1887, 235. Mr. S. T. Klein, 

 in J^ourn. of Alicr. and Nat. Sci., 1887, mentions many species from 

 Willesden. Of butterflies, I tind mention of fifteen species, including 

 Vanesia afitiopa {Entom., 1887, 177), V. polychloros {Entom., 1887, 199), 

 J'ararge megcBra, Highbury Place, (H. Hodge, Entom., 1887, 266), and 

 Lyctcna corydon, near Hounslow, {Entom., 1887, 229). The butterfly
