There is also a single example of another species of Chrysopa, 

 distinct from any of those above recorded, from near Silves, 16th May, 

 perhaps allied to viridana, but it is so discoloured that identification 

 appears impossible. 



ASCALAPHID,E. 



Ascalaphus bceticus, Rambur. — One male on a hill S. of Silves, 

 17th May (another seen), not quite of the typical Spanish form, but 

 more approaching a variety from Catalonia described by De Selys in 

 the Compt. Eendus Soc. Ent. Belg., April 3rd, 1880. 



PANORPIDJE. 



Panorpa meridionalis, Rainbur. — One <$ and two $ , Cintra, 27th 

 April, one $ , Sabugueiro in the Estrella, 5th June, one £ , Cea, 9th 

 June, one £ and one $ near Salamonde, 30th June. All the examples 

 that I have seen from Spain and Portugal are smaller and less strongly 

 marked than those from the French Pyrenees. It is the only Panorpa 

 recorded from the Iberian Peninsula.

ON THE SINGULAR NEW SPECIES OF PLUTELLA (ALLIED TO 

 P. CRUCIFERARUM) COLLECTED IN SPITZBERGEN, IN 1873, 

 BY THE REV. A. E. EATON. 



BY H. T. STALNTON, F.R.S. 



The insects in question were placed in my hands more than six 

 years ago, but pressure of business of various sorts has hitherto pre- 

 vented my giving them the attention which they merited. Specimens 

 were submitted to Professor Zeller, in 1874, who wrote his opinion on 

 them May 29th of that year, but as he wished that his views on the 

 specific distinctness of the specimens sent to him should be confirmed 

 by myself, the matter has stood over till I had the necessary leisure to 

 relax and set out the Spitsbergen specimens, which Mr. Eaton had 

 collected. 



I should premise that of all the Micro-Lepidoptera, I know of no 

 more cosmopolitan species than Plutella cruciferamcm, and, therefore, 

 it would have appeared to me perfectly natural had it also occurred 

 at Spitzbergen. 



One other point to be noticed is the very peculiar markings on the 

 antenna? of the normal Plutella cruciferarum , which, in bred specimens 

 of the insect, are so strikingly conspicuous.
