Zett. has also been discovered in the roots of 8. nodosa (Brischke, Ent. Nachr., 

 VI, 5G, 1880). The larva of a third species of Chilosia, Ch. sjjorsa Loew, is 

 recorded by Carpenter (Econ. Proc. of the Royal Dublin Soc, Vol. II, p. 96) as 

 attacking the I'oots of primrose. My material is hardly sufficient to admit of a 

 description of the larva of Ch. variabilis, and an attempt Avill be made to collect 

 further examples this year. - J. C. F. Prter : Ma^j 13th, 1915. 



Aepophilus bonnairei Sign., at Sennen Cove. — It may be of interest to 

 siipplement with further distribvitional details Mr. Tomlin's note under the 

 above heading in the last issue of this Magazine. Sennen Cove is the 

 southernmost part of Whitosand Bay, in West Cornwall, and therefore 

 within about a mile of Land's End. It makes the fourth Cornish locality, 

 and naturally the most westerly one, for this interesting Hemipteron. 

 Thus far, the ascertained range of Aepophilus in England is as follows : 

 Totland Bay, I. W. (Champion), the most easterly point : in Dorsetshire, 

 Lyme Regis (Kilburne) : in S. Devon, Plymouth (Keys) : in Cornwall, Polperro, 

 a little west of Looe (F. Smith) ; Falmouth (Champion) ; Moiisehole, near 

 Penzance, on the western side of Mount's Bay (Marguand) ; and Sennen Cove 

 (Tomlin) as above, a total distance of aboiit 200 miles as thee row flies. It has 

 not yet been observed on the north coast of Cornwall, but has occurred in 

 N. Devon, between Barnstaple and Ilfracombe (Water/all). To complete the 

 account for the British Isles, there mnst be added certain Irish records as given 

 in the "Clare Island Su.rvey " (Halbert), viz.: Dungarvan, co. Waterford 

 (Nichols) ; Blacksod Bay, co. Mayo (Kemp) ; and two places on the coast of Gal way 

 (TattersaU) . These latter form the most westerly limit of the species, not 

 merely as regards the British Isles, but also for the whole of its area.—

Parasitism of Phygadeuon rusticellae on Tinea biselliella. — By some curious 

 clerical or typographical error on p. 44 of the current volume of the 

 Ent. Mo. Mag., this Hymenopteron is stated to have occurred in my bedroom. 

 This is not so , it is my study on the ground floor, where I keep a photographic 

 dish containing water on the iioor close to a cupboard of odds and ends. In 

 this water, throughout the whole of the late spring, summer and autumn of 

 last year, these insects dropped in considerable numbers, and also a few of the 

 moths on the larvae of which they are parasitic. Mr. Claude Morley was my 

 authority for the name of the Ichneumon, and my object in writing the present 

 note is to say that the insects began to appear again in quantity as regards the 

 Ichneiimon, sparsely as regards the host, the last few days, beginning about 

 April 2oth ; also to say that I am indebted to my friend, Mr. G. T. Porritt, for 

 naming the host-moth as Tinea biselliella. — W. Denison Roebuck, 259, Hyde 

 Park Road, Leeds : April 29th, 1915.
