:iI)OTES ON COLLECTING, Etc. 



Camptogramma fluviata in North London. — On October lltb I 

 took a freshly emerged male Caiiiptiuiroiinna fluviata at Highgate. It 

 was sitting on a painted fence which was badly sun-blistered, and the 

 moth closely resembled the broken " blisters." The specimen is slightly 

 asymmetrical, the band being complete on the right wing and broken on 

 the left. — Russell James, Junr., " Brockenhurst," Bloomtield Road, 

 Highgate. November ISth. 



Some races of Ants new to Britain. — Myrmica sabuleti, Meinert. 

 I have this form from Surrey, Hants, Devonshire, and Sussex, having 

 taken it myself in the first three counties. Emery considers it a var. 

 of scabrinnclis, Nyl. In the ^ the scape of the antennje is much longer 

 than in typical scabriiiodix, and I find the ? s and ^ s have the tooth 

 on the antennal scape much more developed. I hope shortly to publish 

 a paper which I have nearly finished on the genus Mi/Dirica, and will 

 then deal more fully with sabuleti. 



Leptothora.v tiibero-affinis, Forel. — Crawley and I found this race in 

 some numbers in the New Forest in July last. We took J s and 

 winged J s, and also dealated ? s, in the nests with the workers. 

 They were nesting under stones, often in close proximity to Tetra- 

 iiioriiDii nests. 



I may here mention that we do not appear to possess L. 

 unifasciatiis, Latr., in Britain. Forel has now seen all the specimens 

 standing under that name in the British, Oxford and Cambridge 

 Museums, which include Saunders', and the Rothney and Dale 

 collections, etc., and also my own specimens, which I took at St. 

 Margaret's Bay, and they none of them were nnifasriatiis, but belong 

 to the race /.. tiibcruiii, F., the ti(beni)ii proper. All records of 

 loiifasciatiin in Saunders' Hi/meiioptera, etc., will have to be cor- 

 rected. I was never able to make specimens named by Saunders 

 loiifasciatns agree with Forel's table. This led to my arranging for the 

 latter to see all the specimens I could. Crawley took some of these 

 and I others on our visit to Forel. 



Funnica picea, Nyl. — This is the species described by White, Anfs 

 and their H'rt'/s, P- 253 as ijlabra, and is doing duty as '/ai/ates, Latr., 

 in the British list. Arnold found a nest in the New Forest some 

 years ago, and Crawley and I found another in the same locality. 1 

 shall publish the differences shortly. The synonomy is as follows :— 

 /*'. jiirra, Nyl. /''. glabra, \\. F. White. F. (/ai/ateti, Saunders, nee. 

 Latr. — H. Donistiioicpe. 



CURRENT NOTES AND SHORT NOTICES. 



Dr. Fr. Zacher has an article in the Xvitsrhrift fur wissvusrhaft- 

 liche Jmektenbioloiiie, 1912, pp. 27G-284, on the male genitalia of the 

 Kuderiuaptera. We do not find here such a variety of forms as in the 

 Frotudermaptero, but the author finds material for proposing an arrange-
