but it is certainly J. luteipes, and its occurrence under such circum- 

 stances is remarkable and interesting. 



Sirex (Paururas) juvencus, F.— I stated in Ent. Mo. Mag., 

 February, 1904, that most British insects recorded under this name 

 were probably to be referred to noctilio, F. (= melanocerus, Th.), 

 and I find tbat this was suggested as long ago as 1880 in Trans. 

 Torksh. N. U. by Mr. W. D. Roebuck. But I can now say that I 

 have at last seen a real juvencus from a British locality. This is a ? 

 sent to me for examination by Mr. E. G. Bay ford, which had been 

 taken at Doucaster, and recorded by Dr. Corbett in the Naturalist, 

 1904, p. 34S. (See a paper by Mr. Bayford in the same journal, 

 April, 1905, p. 100). 



Of course, in the case of this or any other Siricid appearing in 

 this country, there is more than a possibility that the specimen may 

 have been imported with the timber from which it issued. But I am 

 glad that I need no longer question the right of so often-recorded 

 a species to a place in at least the " Visitors' List " of our native 

 fauna. 



Schizoceros fureatus, Vill— In Ent, Mo. Mag., June, 1904, I 

 expressed doubt as to its occurrence in Britain of recent years. But 

 I need not have done so, for I shortly afterwards saw a specimen 

 recently taken in Kent by Mr. Chitty ; and several other undoubted 

 " Britishers " have since come under my observation, one of which 

 (" taken by Mr. C. J. Wainwright in Wyre Forest on May 26tb, 

 1890") was exhibited by Mr. A. H. Martineau to the Birmingham 

 Ent. Soc. in May, 1905, as recorded in this Magazine, July, 1905, p. 165. 



Holcocneme ericJisoni, Htg. — I am greatly indebted to Mr. A. T. 

 Gillanders, of Alnwick, ftrr two ? ? of this large and handsome 

 Nematid, which he reared (with four others) between May 11th 

 and June 8th, 1906, from larva? taken by himself at two places in 

 Northumberland in July of the previous year. 



The species comes next to and much resembles H. lucida, but is 

 easily separated as follows : — 



The pronotum and teguke are black, the tibia? whitish with dusky 

 apices. (All these parts are red in H. hccida.) The vertical area is 

 long (as long as the two basal joints of the antenna? taken together) 

 in erichsoni. It is short in lucida (about equal to the 1st joint taken 

 alone). 



I am sorry that I had not seen these beautiful insects when I 

 tabulated British Holcocneme spp. in Ent. Mo. Mag., April, 1900.
