4 THE ENTOMOLOGIST S RECORD. 



xlvi., p. 28); this species is very similar to calm ariensis, L., but is paler in 

 colour, less marked, with black on the elytra, and the two terminal 

 segments of the abdomen are entirely red. Bedel will not admit that 

 this is a genuine species ; the latest Europeap. Catalogue, however, 

 treats it as a distinct species. It has been found in various localities ; 

 Mr. Donisthorpe and the author took a series at Gatfield, Norfolk, in 

 September last oft" Lytlirum salicarme. 



Galerncella ferf/ussoni, !Sp. n., described by Canon Fowler (loc. cit., 

 p. 228), from specimens taken by Mr. Fergusson near Glasgow ; this 

 species is similar to sar/ittariae, Gyll., but is smaller and much darker. 

 It is the same insect which was described by Dr. Sharp {loc. cit., 

 p. 89) as var. B. of soijittariae. Mr. A. A. Dalglish (loc. cit., p. 262) 

 gives some additional notes as to the occurrence and characters of 

 this form. 



Crepidndera inipream, Fabr., introduced by Dr. Sharp {Inc. cit., 

 p. 27) ; specimens were taken on the seashore at Hayling Island by 

 Mr. C. G. Lamb. The species is closely allied to transversa, Marsh, 

 but is larger and darker. 



Apion cantianuiii, Wagner, =hrevicorne, Schilsky. This insect was 

 described from a specimen taken at Chattenden by Commander 

 Walker, and Mr. G. C. Champion {loc. cit., p. 188) draws attention to 

 the fact that its occurrence in Great Britain has been overlooked. It 

 is similar to fllirostre, Kirb., but has shorter and stouter antennae. 



Ti/c/diiH Iiaciiiatopiis, Gyll., introduced by Mr. J. Edwards {Inc. cit., 

 p. 80). Mr. Edwards deals with all the species of this genus which 

 occur in Great Britain, and gives a very useful table ; }iae)iiato}ius is 

 most closely allied to jimcens, Reich. It has been taken by Mr. 

 Bennett at Hastings, and was mistaken for sijua)iuilatiift, Gyll. Mr. 

 Donisthorpe has also taken the species in several localities. 



Gonipterns lepidotiis, Gyll., Mr. Champion draws attention to the 

 fact {loc. cit., p. 145) that a specimen of this well-known Tasmanian 

 weevil was taken in a house at Willesden, in June, 1908. It is, of 

 course, probably only an introduced beetle, and is not entitled to a 

 place in our list. 



Colo}i calcaratnni, Er. — This species, which has been struck out of 

 the British list, is reinstated by Dr. Joy {Inc. cit., p. 267) ; specimens 

 of this species have been taken by Mr. Harwood and Dr. Joy. 



The following new varieties and aberrations have been added : — 



I'hilontlnis intermedins, Boisd., var. douisthorpei, a new variety 

 described by Mr. H. Dollman {Ent. Becord, xxii., p. 295). This 

 variety differs from the type in having bright red elytra. The specimen 

 was captured at Ditchling, Sussex, on August 30th last, in farmyard 

 refuse. It occurred with the type. 



Paraiuecosnma melanncephalioii, Herbst., var. univeste, Eeitter, and 

 var. infiiscation, new var. Mr. J. N. Halbert {Ent. Mo. Ma(j., xlvi., 

 p. 66) introduces these two new^ varieties ; the former is larger than 

 the type and uniformly chestnut brown ; the latter is entirely black, 

 and the general punctuation is stronger than in the type. It seems to 

 be generally distributed in Ireland, and has been taken at Plymouth 

 by Mr. Keys. 



We have this year an addition of 26 species and 3 varieties ; one 

 of the new species, however, is only an introduced species, and should 

 not go into our list, and another species for the same reason is a some-
