Among the specimens sent to me for examination by Mr. Beaumont 

 I found a Diasfafa which I think I may safely record as new to Britain, 

 viz.,Z). unipunctata, Ztt. This well marked little species was captured 

 by Mr. Beaumont at Pitlochry, N. B., in 1892, it is characterized by 

 having the thorax dark grey ; tbe abdomen quite black and immacu- 

 late ; the forehead and basal joints of the antennae luteous ; the legs 

 fuscous, with paler tibiae ; the wings subfuscous, with a dark mark at 

 the base and a large black patch covering the outer cross vein, the 

 inner cross vein being clear.
