Sn-icoris latifasciano, Haw. — M. Jourdheuille says of this species : 

 — " Larva in silken tubes under moss on trees." 



Scricoj'is hifanciaim, Haw. — I have found this species occasionally 

 in Norfolk. 



llixodia Schulzlana, Fab. — I found this species rather common 

 in Woolmer Forest some years ago, the specimens being large and 

 very richly marked. Specimens from Germany and Switzerland are, 

 howcA^er, much larger. 



Mixodia paJnstrana, Zell. 



Lohesia relwunna, Wilk. — Prof. Zeller assures me that this is not 

 reliquana, hui permixtana, Hiibn., and this, Mr. Stainton tells me, is 

 confirmed by Hiibner's fignre. Haworth and Wood are therefore 

 correct. Prof. Zeller has sent me specimens of reliquana,livi\sr\. (now 

 known as hotrana, Schiff.), and these show it to be a broader-winged 

 insect, with markings similar to those of our species, but all dilated 

 and diluted. This sjiecies (botrana) feeds on vine, but ours (permix- 

 tana) seems partial to oak. IM. Jourdhciiille, however, states that its 

 larva feeds on Anclitisa officinalis. This requires confirmation. 



Dr. Wocke, in his List, misapplies the reliquana of "Wilkinson and 



Stainton's Manual, making it synonymous with hotrana, SchifF., and 



not '^'\\\i permixtana, Iliibn., although he quotes Haworth and Wood 



under the latter head.

ADDITIONS TO THE LIST OF BEITISH HEMIPTERA. 

 BY EDWARD SAUNDERS, F.L.S. 



Ctmus melanocephalus, Fieb., Eur. Hem., p. 203, 2. 



Head obscure brown, darker than the thorax. Thorax reddish-brown, generally 

 darker at the sides, largely and deeply punctured, with a rather deep collar in front, 

 from the middle of which runs a short, concolorous keel, scarcely reaching to the 

 centre of the disc. Scutclhuii dark brown, without tmy central keel, strongly punc- 

 tured, and in some specimens transversely rugose. Elytra lighter in colour than the 

 thorax, each with a clouded sjjot near the basal angle of the membrane, largely and 

 densely punctured all over. Posterior margin of the corium dark, especially at the 

 apex. Membrane hyaline. Under-side reddish-brown. Length If — 2 lin. 



On rushes, by sweeping, near Chobham, rather sparingly ; June, 

 1874. 



Obs. — Diifers from botli our other species by the dark colour of 

 the head, the concolorous keel of the thorax, and the absence of any 

 keel on the scutellum. It is allied in shape to C. claviculus, but, be- 

 sid.es the above characters, it may be distinguished from that species
