THE ENTOMOLOGIST S RECORD. 



avion were taken, together with Colias edusa (1 ? ), Thais rionina var. 

 medesiraste (1 J ), Knchlo'e ciiphenoides, etc. 



The next day, June 11th, I again wentnp the long winding path to 

 Casteil, and thence on to the monastery of Saint Martin du Canigou. 

 It was somewhat of a disappointment as I found but very few insects 

 on account of the date being too early, as I was assured by a French 

 peasant that there were " grands papillons " around the monastery. I 

 obtained more P. /mdaliritis var. feisthaniclii, a fine L. aliphran var. 

 (/ordiiis just emerged, and some " blues " in good condition. 



On June 12th, I ascended the hill through the pine woods 

 immediately behind the same winter gardens, and after some time 

 came out by the Cascade de Dieterichs, a spot best visited in the fore- 

 noon as it is much frequented later in the day by visitors to Vernet. 

 From there I went on through the village of Casteil towards Col Jody. 

 In a field close by the bridge over the river Cady, a " hot corner " for 

 Rhopalocera, I took several Paniaasinx iiineiiiotiyne in good condition. ■ 

 Presumably they bad been blown down by the strong breeze from the 

 higher mountains and when seen on the wing at a little distance I was 

 struck by their resemblance to Aporia crataeifi. 



June 13th was spent in the Hotel grounds in the hope of finding 

 Laeosopis rubaris. This species is to be found at Vernet in June and 

 July beyond the Grand Hotel du Pare and beyond the Dairy and 

 Tennis Court on a rather high path whence you overlook the leaves on 

 which it settles. But although I took several T. niynina var. 

 iiiedesicaste there in very good condition and quite a number of .S'. orian, 

 I saw nothing of /.. lobori.s, and do not think that it was out. In the 

 afternoon I left for Perpignan, and thence went on to Barcelona, and 

 en June 22nd, after collecting in various parts of Spain, found myself 

 back in S.W. France at Guethery. 



This last place is a charming spot, lying as it does at the head of 

 the Bay of Biscay, with a lovely view of Biarritz a few miles off. But 

 Rhopalocera here were a great disappointment. The best capture was 

 one Mclcniaii/ia (/aUithca var. procida, and that on a beautifully fine 

 day. 



The next day found me in the Forest of I'ontainebleau by 10 a.m., 

 but unfortunately the weather was dull and the results again very 

 disappointing. The best capture was Ndidwanma (T/ieda) ilicis. The 

 fact that some 14,000 adders are annually killed in the forest is a 

 note of warning as to where one treads. The captures during the nine 

 days spent in France were by no means encouraging, either in number 

 or species. 



Diestrammena marmorata, Haan. A Remairkable Exotic Orthopteron 



in England. 



By MALCOLM BURR, D.Sc, F.E.S. 



I am indebted to the Rev. E. N. Bloomfield for the opportunity of 

 examining a remarkable addition to our list of introduced Urthoptera. 

 The species in question is Dicstraiiimena niarworata, Haan, a native of 

 Japan. Mr. Bloomfield received the specimens from Miss Alice 

 Young, of Rye, who informs me that three specimens were taken by her 

 sister on September 23rd, October 19th, and November 12th, 1912,
