14 THE ENTOMOLOGIST S RECORD. 



of the maxillary palpi, which in the <? are very short, globose, 

 conical, and coral-red in colour ; length of body, 17mm. -18mm. 3 , 

 23mm. -25mm. ?; of pronotum, 3mm.-6mm. <? , 5mm. $; of elytra, 

 limm. c? , 17mm. -19mm. $ . 



A purely Spanish species, occurring in the central region of the 

 country ; it is recorded from the Guadarrama, Albarracin, Sierra de 

 Gredos, Madrid, Sitio, Cambron, Una, Ucles, and the Penalara. It is 

 found in dry barren places from June to October. 



Useful information as to the distinction between S. (jra))i miens and 

 S. bolirari, as well as about .S'. festirKK and S. stiipiiaticas, are given by 

 Pantel in his Notes orthnpterokxjiqueH, vol. iv., in the Anales Je la 

 ^ociedad espailola de Hutnria Xatural, 1896, vol. xxv., pp. 125-128. 



9. Stenobothrus miniatus, Charpentier, 

 This species was accidentally omitted from synoptical table. It is 

 easy to distinguish from its congeners by the ulnar veins nearly 

 approximate at the base, but suddenly diverging from the middle ; 

 by the thickened and darkened veins in the anterior part of the wings, 

 and by the regular, transverse fenestration of the wings between the 

 radial and ulnar area, and the posterior tibiae are crimson, the size is 

 large and the general colour dark olive, rarely greenish; the elytra are 

 ample, smoky, Avith a white spot near the apex in the <? , paler in the 

 2 , with dark spots, and often a yellow band in the scapular area ; the 

 wings are smoky black, and alike in both sexes. Length of body, 

 21mm. 3 , 26mm. $ ; of pronotum, 4-2mm. <? , 5mm. 5 ; of elytra, 

 18mm. <y ; 16mm. $ . 



This species is very distinct, and has some resemblance to 

 Staurodeni.s iiiorio, but differs in the generic characters. It occurs in 

 stony places at a high elevation in the Alps from Geneva as far east 

 as Transsylvania ; it is found as far north as southern Thuringia, and 

 near Vienna; it appears not to be known in Spain, France, and Italy.

Descriptions of additional aberrations of Leucania favlcolor. 



By raymastei-in-Chief GEEVASE F. MATHEW, R.N., F.L.8., F.E.S. 



On p. 252 of the last volume, Mr. Tutt describes certain aberrations 

 ■of Leucania favicolor from a series I sent to him early in August, but 

 since then I have taken others of a second brood, and among them 

 there are three more interesting aberrations. These were also forwarded 

 to Mr. Tutt, but not until it was too late for him to include them in 

 his paper, so I have appended hereto a description of them. 



In my note to Mr. Tutt I stated that the four specimens of the 

 second brood, that I took on the night of August 27th, were a trifle 

 smaller than those of the spring brood, but I have taken others since 

 that date that are fully as large. 



The ab. ftisco-rosea, of which I have only two examples, were both 

 bred in June, but were overlooked when I sent the series to Mr. Tutt. 



1. Forewings dee]} orange, one dot only representing elbowed line ; hindwings 

 smoky, nervures distinctly darker, fringes pale = ab. aenea, n. ab. A, very striking 

 and beautiful aberration. 



2. Forewings cinnamon-brown, with smoky clouding between some of the 

 nervures ; diseal dot, and dots forming elbowed line, small and indistinct ; hind- 

 wings smoky, nervures slightly darker, fringes pale = ab. ohxciira, n. ab. 



3. Forewings very silky, pale creamy-buff, hind margins flushed with rosy
