I took two specimens of this species at Stockton Forest, near 

 York, in August, 1865, and I forwarded them to the late Dr. Fieber, 

 who returned them to me with the above name. Unfortunately, they 

 got put on one side, and I only discovered them the other day.

Additions to the Morayshire Hemiptera. — The two species of Deltocephalus 

 undetermined, which I mentioned in my list of Morayshire captures, page 18, ante, 

 Mr. Scott has returned to me as D. Flori, Fieb., and D. repletus, Fieb., both new 

 to our lists. Flori had occurred at Forres, in 1878, but remained still undetermined.
