Solenopsis fugax at Sandown, Isle of Wight, Sfc. — I occasionally take a few 

 ants when I come across any that look strange. Last Easter, at Sandown, Isle of 

 Wight, I found under a stone a colony of Solenopsis fugax ; the insect struck me 

 by its minute size, which is less even that that of the London ant, Monomorium 

 Fharaonis (domesticum). Under a stone in the Landslip near Ventnor, I found, 

 some time ago, Tetrainorium cespitum and Lasitis umbratus in company.' Mr. E. 

 Saunders kindly determined all the species for me; he did not possess the Solenopsis 

 fugax, so I conclude that it must be one of our rarest species. If any Hymenopterist 

 would like a specimen, I should be happy to send him one, as I have a few to spare. 



Priocnemis hyalinatus near Lincoln. — Some time ago I found, on the edge of a 

 pine plantation at Hykeham, near Lincoln, a specimen of Priocnemis hyalinatus, 

 which, I think, is one of the rarest of the Fossores. — W. W. Fowleb, Lincoln :

Actidium coarctatum, near Gloucester. — A short while ago {ante p. 20) I re- 

 corded the capture of a single specimen of Actidium coarctatum in a hotbed at 

 Barnwood, near Gloucester, and mentioned the fact as being interesting as corrobo- 

 rating Haliday's statement that he had found this river-bank species in such a 

 locality. As my single specimen might have been the result of accident, I may 

 perhaps mention the fact, that I have lately found several specimens (more than a 

 dozen) in the same hotbed in company with a profusion of Nephanes titan, and a 

 few Millidium trisulcatum, Ptilium foveolatum, Monotoma longicollis, Atomaria 

 apicalis, &c. I did not see a single Trichopteryx, or even Ptenidium apicale in the 

 hotbed. There was a considerable amount of sawdust mixed with the manure ; 

 this hint may, perhaps, prove a useful one, as it is quite possible that the rotting 

 wood was a great attraction. — Id. 



Ceraleptus lividus. Stein, 4'c., at the Camber Sand-hills. — -Mr. H. Or. Henry 

 and myself had a long day at the above locality on October 3rd, chiefly workinff at 

 the long moss which covers the eastern side of the sand-hills. This produced us 

 sixteen specimens of Ceraleptus, which, I believe, has hitherto been recorded only 

 from Deal. Eleven specimens fell to my lot and five to that of Mr. Henry. Rhy- 

 parochromus chiragra. Fab., and sabulicola, Thorns., also turned up. Plinthistis 

 hrevipennis, Latr., was very common and could have been had in any numbers. 

 Syperaspis reppensis, Hbst., was somewhat abundant. — E. P. Collett, St. 

 Leonards-on-Sea : October 6fh, 1882.
