158 THE entomologist's record. 



(one of the species into which abietella was split up) and Enpithecia 

 togata from Southwold, far from fir and pine trees. I have a specimen 

 of the former captured by Mr. Coverdale some years ago under similar 

 conditions at Shoeburyness. I have often mentioned it at the South 

 London Society. Where do these specimens feed up and pupate ? 



Dr. Lang captured at light, near Guildford, on July nth, a specimen 

 of Plusia tnoneta. 



Plutella cruciferarum {xylostella) is in abundance this year. The 

 .A.gricultural Society is, we believe, employed in working out the life- 

 history (which has been known for years) of this destructive species. 



iglBLIOGRAPHY. 



Additions to the British List and Changes in Nomenclature. 



coleoptera. 



Heierocerus flexuosus, Steph., is to be separated specifically from H. 



fanoralis, Kies. H. arenarius, Kies., probably not British, or only a 



synonym oi H. femoralis, Kies. H. {Tce/ihererocerits, Kuw.) intermedins^ 



Kuwert, n. sp. = H. reetiis, Wat., which becomes a' var. of H. salinus, 



Kies. (W. W. Fowler, Ent. Mo. Mag., pp. 204-207). 



Hemiptera. 



Aleurodes rubicola, n. sp., allied to A. carpini, Koch. (J. W. Douglas, 

 E.M.M., p. 200). 



Lepidoptera. 



Folia chi var. nov. suffusa (J. E. Robson, Ent. Record, etc., p. 84). 

 Agrotis obsaira vars. nov. rufa, Tutt, and si/ffusa, Tutt ; vars. ravida, 

 Hb., obducta, Esp., bigramma, Esp. and austera, Esp., differentiated, 

 and added to the British list (J. W. Lutt, Ent. Record, etc., p, 132). 



Homoesoma saxicola, Vaughan, referred to H. niinbella as a variety 

 {E. R. Bankes, Ent. Record, etc., pp. 57-58). 



Nepticula tormentillella, H.-S., introduced as British, Ent. Afo. Mag.,
