2 THE ENTOMOLOGIST S RECORD. 



In the Alucitid division of the plumes, lAioiitilvn carphoiJacti/le, 

 Adaina inicrodactyla, A. srarodactyla, and this species form a group of 

 internal or quasi-internal feeders, and are remarkable for the skin 

 points of the larvae being developed as numerous tlat plates. In the 

 Platyptiliid division, the internal feeders (most typically Platyptilia) 

 present no similar arrangement. 



These plates are well shown in the photograph of the skin of 

 a larva, divided dorsally, and spread out. The ordinary simple 

 character of the hairs is also very distinct {Plate I.),

Retrospect of a Coleopterist for 191 0. 



By Prof. T. HUDSON BEARE, B.Sc, F.R.S.E., F.E.S. 



The additions to our list which I have the pleasure of recording 

 this year are exceptionally numerous. It will be noted that no fewer 

 than 18 are insects new to science. 



Trecliits snbnotatii/i, Dej., introduced by Mr. E. A. Newbery {Ent. 

 Mo. May., xlvi., p. 131); a single specimen was taken by Mr. de la 

 Garde at Shaldon, Devon, on February 26th, 1910. This species so 

 far has been known only from south-eastern Europe. 



Laccobins ytcnensu, Sp. n., described by Dr. Sharp {lac. cit., p. 250) 

 from specimens taken in the New Forest (commonly), in Devonshire, 

 and in Cornwall. The male characters of this insect are very peculiar 

 and distinct. 



Athi'ta {Homalota) picipeunis, Mannh., introduced by Dr. Joy {loc. 

 cit., p. 252) on specimens found at Dalwhinnie and Aviemore, 

 Inverness-shire. Dr. Joy says this species is related to H. atramentaria, 

 Gyll. Dr. Cameron states {Inc. cit., p. 280) that he has captured this 

 species flying at Eathmullan, Ireland, and he states that it is most 

 likely to be confused with H. cinnavmptera, Th. ; in fact Fauvel 

 considers this latter species to be synonymous with picipennis. 



Gahrius {PhilontJiin^) fttipes, Sp. n. ; 6r. pennatua, Sp. n. ; G. relox, 

 Sp. n. ; G. key.sianiis, Sp. n. ; G. appendicidatits, Sp. n. ; and G. 

 hishopi, Sp. n.; these six species, all new to science, were described by 

 Dr. Sharp {loc. cit., p. 129). They had probably been mixed with 

 P. niyritidiiii, Gr., and P. trossuliix. Nor. Dr. Sharp has shown by 

 dissection that they can all of them be readily separated by the 

 characters of the aedoeagus. 



Lathrobiiun lonyipenne, Fairm., introduced by Dr. G. W. Nicholson 

 {Ent. Rec, xxii., p. 159), on a single specimen taken atEoydon, Essex, 

 in a tuft of grass at the foot of a willow tree. It is similar to lonyidum, 

 Gr., but has longer elytra, which in this specimen are brick-red with a 

 darker base. This insect is considered by Gangibauer and in the 

 European Catalogue only a var. of lonyidum. Commander Walker 

 records {Pint. Mo. May., xlvi., p. 280) the capture of a specimen of this 

 form at Tubney. 



O.ryteliis satdcyi, Pand., introduced by Dr.' Joy {loc. cit., p. 4). This 

 insect has been taken in mole's nests and in flood refuse. It is similar 

 to fairmairei, Pand., but has the hind body alutaceous. Dr. Cameron 

 has taken it in the Isle of Grain, and the writer has taken it at 

 Coulsdon, Surrey. In both these cases it occured in mole's nests.
