— Larger (7 — 9 mill. long.). Third and fourth antennal joints subequal. Ventral 

 apex quite black in <? , and nearly so in 9 , though obscurely reddish about 

 the base of the saw-sheath. The pale markings of the legs and body are 

 altogether much less conspicuous than in humeraHs : they are rather reddish- 

 brown than yellow, and the tegulae and stigma are distinctly fuscous. Saw- 

 sheath long, narrow, and pointed amplus, Knw. 



FURTHER NOTE ON SUPPOSED BRITISH NEMATUS spp. (see p. 83). 



Since my last paper was printed I have tried to clear up some 

 questions which it left unsolved by visiting South Kensington and 

 trying to find Mr. Cameron's types of caledonicus, nntennatus, &c. 

 The results are as follows : — 



Auranfiacus. — I could find nothing so called. There is a label 

 bearing the name, but the space above it is blank. 



Caledonicus, antennatus, v-flavum. — Each of these is represented 

 in the collection by a single ? ; but whether any of them is the real 

 type of Mr. Cameron's description I do not know. 



" Caledonicus " of the collection seems to me to be what I ex- 

 pected, viz., acuminatus. 



" Antennatus " is, I believe, a rather dark-headed specimen of 

 hilineatus. I carefully examined the clypeus and could not see that 

 it was in any way abnormal : it was certainly quite deeply excised. 



" V-flavum " surprised me greatly. The specimen so called is 

 certainly not a Nematus in Konow's sense. It is, in fact, I have not 

 the least doubt, neither more nor less than a Dineura stilata ! But I 

 have no evidence, as said above, that this is the real type of v-flavum ; 

 and find it hard to believe that such can be the case. 



(To he continued). 



Stenus Jciesenwetteri, RosenJi., Sfc, at Chohham. — I was pleased to-day to take 

 four specimens of Stenus Jcie.semvetferi, Rosenh., in a fresh locality near Chobham, 

 not having seen it alive since 1877*. With it, in the Sphagnum, were iS. mela- 

 narius, Stepb., S. lustrafor, Er., Qymnusa hrevicollis, Payk., TacTiyporus tranaver- 

 salis, Grav., Philonthus lucens, Er., P. nigrita, Nordm., Anchomenus gracilis, 

 G-yll., &c. On the banks of a small stream near by, many common beetles were 

 met with, a few of which are perhaps worth noting, as Bemhidium obliquum, Sturm, 

 Homalota pavens, Er., Calodera riparia. Er., Tachguxa afra, Grav., T. constricta, 

 Er., T. flavitarsis, Sahib., ITyperasph reppenais, Herbst, &c. In the evening 

 odd specimens of various species were captured on the wing, as Bledius femoralis,
