306 THE entomologist's record. 



out at the time of Mr. Tiitt's death, and thus portions of the series of 

 some of the species are in another cabinet to be sold at a subsequent 

 date. The HesperUlae, which are contained in several large double 

 travelling stores boxes, are also to be disposed of on the 19th. These 

 are not worked out in accordance with Reverdin's diagnoses (see lUill. 

 lie la Sac. Lep. de (ien., vol. ii., p. 1, 1910), but no doubt most of the 

 now recognised species Avill be found in the various series, for the 

 specimens were nearly all collected in the areas which Dr. Reverdin 

 and his colleagues of Geneva have been investigating for many years. 



It is obvious that A. pmdroiiiaua inserted in bracl<ets in the last 

 number on page 257 line 10 from the top should be Ih-ephos parthenias, 

 which " appears to be quite commoa in these open heath carpeted 

 woods." On page 263, " The latest in Nomenclature," 1830, should be 

 " 1838 " as the date of Burmeister's genus i'eiiplaneta. 



In the October number of the Knt. Mo. Mai/., Mr. Malcolm 

 Cameron, M.B., R.N., F.E.S., records the capture of five specimens of 

 At/iita lilipiitana, a Coleopteron new to Britain. They were found in 

 small carcases near Brockenhurst in ]\Iay and June last. He adds an 

 analytical table of the British members of the sub-genus Microdota, to 

 which J. Uliputana belongs. 



In the same number the Rev. II. D. Morice, M.A., F.E.S., records 

 I'eiiclhta piihcscenx, a species of Tciit/irrdiviilae, as new to the British 

 List. It was swept or beaten from oak at Porlock, Somerset, in April 

 last, by Mr. H. St. J. K. Donisthorpe. 



In the same number Mr. J. E. Collin, F.E.S., continues his notes 

 and additions to the British list of Diptera and announces the 

 following species as new to Britain : — lAoiinjia laerii/ata, from Suffolk, 

 Cambs, and Hereford ; reriscelis ni(jra, from Nethy Bridge, in June,

In the same number Dr. David Sharp, M.A., F.E.S., described 

 IlviiiahAa {Hi/di<)>iiiu'<:ta) iiiiiiri, a Staphylinid beetle new to science. 

 It was discovered by Mr. F. Muir in the shingle on the banks of one 

 of the small rivers near Brockenhurst. 



Dr. Malcolm Burr, F.Z.S., F.L.S., F.E.S., gives an annotated list 

 of the Dermaptera or Earwigs found in the British Isles, also in the 

 October number of Knt. Mo. Ma(j. In the accompanying coloured 

 plate every known truly British species is figured, as well as one or two 

 recently established species.
