116 THE entomologist's RECORD. 



literature is all in Entom., except Fieris brasskcc, HoUoway R.oad 

 (F. W. Smith, N^at. Gazette, 1889, 47), and E. iaiiira and C. pa7nphilus, 

 Brent Road (in the Report of the EaHng Society, for 1887-88). Many 

 moth records are in the E?itomologist, which I need hardly enumerate 

 in full detail. Some of the more notable are Chcerocampa 7ierii, 

 Poplar {E/itoiN., 1888, 258, 265), London Bridge {Entom., 1889, 120); 

 Sphinx coivolvuli lyEntom., 1887, 64, 304; \%ZZ, %6); Deilephila galii 

 {Entom., 1888, 210, 274); Choerncampa porcellus, Hounslow {Entom., 

 1888, 19); Arctia villica, Lea Bridge (G. V. Hudson, in exchange 

 column of Entom., Oct. 1888); IMotodonta didceoidcs, Hampstead 

 (J. Lea, Entom., 1887, 2']^) ; Fterostoma palpina, Hounslow {Ento?n., 

 1888, 19); Leiicania straininea v. ?ngrostriata {Entom., 1888, 247), and 

 so forth. Anyone interested can find the records by looking over the back 

 numbers of the Entom. Otherwise recorded species are not very numer- 

 ous. Zeiizcra pyrina is noted in Ent Mo. Mag., 1889, 456. Dicranura 

 hijida. Shepherd's Bush (Jager, Proc. South Lond. Ent. and N. H. S. 

 for 1887, 61) ; the present writer has found larvae of this species at Acton. 

 Apamea ophiogi-anuna, Hammersmith Marshes (J. T. Williams, Proc. 

 S. L. E. and N. H. S. for 1887, 64). Lobophora halterata, Hounslow, 

 (Rendall, Proc. S. L. E. and N. H. S., 1887, 71). Scotosia vetnlata and S. 

 rhainnata (Jager I.e.). Acentropiis niveus, Hampstead {olini) (Barrett, 

 Ent. APo. Mag., 1888, 199). Incurvaria capitella,Y{^\^g^\.&{YX\%\\'2^, Proc. 

 S. L. E. andN.H. S., 1887, 75). Ocfiera (sp.), London (R. W. Lloyd,^«/. 

 Mo. Mag., 1888, 237). Quite a big literature has sprung up about the 

 Ephestia kuhniella in the east of London ; here are some of the 

 references: — Miss Ormerod, Rep. Inj. Ins. for 1888, 67; S. T. Klein, 

 The Miller, 18S7, 446; Efit. Mo. Mag., 1887, 163; J. W. Tutt, 

 Entom., 1887, 212 ; S. T. Klein, Trans. County of Middlesex Nat. Hist. 

 and Science Society ; R. Adkin, Field, 1887, 829; Riley and Howard, 

 Insect Life, 1889, 260. 



Hemiptera. — Very iew. Naucoris cimicoides, Stamford Hill (F. 

 l^\\\.on, Entom., 1888, 323). Kanatra linearis, near Tottenham (Milton, 

 Ento/n., 1890, 20), and two introduced species. Lecaniiim longulum 

 and Dactylopiiis theohromce, recorded by Mr. J. AV. Douglas in Efit. Mo. 

 Mag., 1887, 97-98 ; 1889, 317. To these I may add two new records, 

 Sehirus bicolor, found by myself by the canal near Southall, and Tropi- 

 coris rufipes, found at Brentford by Mrs. Skilton. 



UiPTERA. — Three species are recorded by Rev. F. A. Walker in 

 Entom., 1889, 189. Two are recorded by Mr. F. Milton in Entom., 

 1888, 323. Mr. Brunetti records fourteen species in Entom., 1889, 

 132, -133, 86, and Eiit. Mo. Mag., 1889, 280, 281. I have some 

 unpublished records, including Bibio hortulnniis, Chiswick High Road, 

 and the following from Bedford Park, kindly named for me by Mr. 

 Verrall ; — Fteropoecila lamed, Schrk. ( = Ortalis pulchella), Nemopoda 

 {cylindrica, Fab. ?), Rhinophora{i mbratica. Fab.?). — T. D. A. Cockerell,

Local Natural History Collections. — My attention has been 

 called to a note in the Entomologist'' s Record for May, in which you dis- 

 parage the nomenclature and arrangement of the Diurni in the Folke- 

 stone Museum. I shall feel obliged if you will make known the fact 

 that, although I have recently accepted the curatorship of this depart-
