The Entomological Society of London . — June Itli. — Commander 

 J. J, Walker exhibited specimens of Jiari/pithes pdlucidu^, Boh., from 

 Oxford, Enfield, and Tavistock, and for comparison, B. dupUcatus, 

 Keys, from the Blean Woods and Birchington, Kent. Also a series of 

 specimens illustrating the life-history of Ci/clotorna, Meyrick, a genus

 AcARi.— Mr. Donisthorpe exhibited live specimens of Anteniinphnrus 

 uhlnianni, Haller, on the ^ s from a nest of Lasius u)Hbratu!i at Woking. 

 Only two specimens have been taken before in Britain, by Michael, in 

 an ants' nest at the Lands End. Also Uropnda /iliilortcua fastened on 

 the strigil of a ^ of the same ant from the same locality. This species 

 is new to Britain. A new Species of Mymar. — Mr. F. Enock exhibited

 of this discovery, remarking that the Mi/iiiaridae have very small hind- 

 wings, in Mj/iiiar they are reduced to a mere bristle ; the gap between 

 this and Stephanodes, for example, which is very great, is partially 

 bridged by Mr. Enock's discovery, and possibly other links may be 

 found in the future. African Charaxes. — Mr. H. Rowland-Brown
