Zeller, and by Sorhagen, A. Schtnid, and Hofmann, though Frey 

 himself says, in 1856, that it feuds on deciduous trees, and in 1880 

 mentions birch only. H is a remarkably straight, slender and pointed 

 case; and I feel no doubt whatever that those found by Mr. Boyd are 

 of the same species. 



This little moth is of the size of G. badiipennella, expanse about 

 4 lines (8 mm.), antennae rather long, beautifully annulated with 

 browu and clear white ; fore-wings pale yellow at the base, the colour 

 regularly and softly shading darker outward until it becomes of a rich 

 ochreous, or pale golden-fulvous, in the hinder area ; without markings, 

 and having the costa of the colour of the rest of the wing ; cilia 

 similar. Hind-wings glossy, pale grey, with long silvery-white cilia ; 

 abdomen dark brown ; legs long, pale brown. 



This is an interesting addition to the British fauna.

PSEUDOPHLCEUS WALTLII., B.S., A SPECIES NEW TO THE 

 BRITISH FAUNA, &c., 



BY 11 . J . IIIOULKSS. 



On August 5th last, at West Walton, Norfolk, while searching 

 at the roots of grass in a very dry place, I obtained a Coreid Bug, 

 which did not exactly answer the description of any of our species. 

 I therefore sent it to Mr. Edward Saunders, and he has been kind 

 enough to name it for me as Pseudophloeus Waltlii, H.-S., a well-known 

 Continental species, but not previously recorded from Britain. He 

 points out that the difference in the third antennal joint, which widens 

 and is black at the apex, will at once distinguish it from P. Fallcnii, 

 also that the scutellum is carinated only at the apex, and the 

 autennary tubercles are pointed instead of obtuse as in Fallcnii. 



The patch of dry grass mentioned above produced, in addition to 

 the Pseudophloeus Waltlii, the following bugs, which may be worth 

 recording : a dead and broken specimen of Coreus denticulatus, a species 

 only once before recorded from Norfolk, Berytus crassipes and B. 

 minor, Aphanus lynceus, Coranus subapterus and Nabis boops. 



The following species also, have recently occurred in my garden 

 at Norwich, Podops inuncta, Heteroy aster urticce and Therapha 

 hyoscyami. This last is a very interesting capture, as it was taken in 

 Norfolk by Paget many years ago, but has since been recorded in this 

 country from the South Western counties only.
