NOTES, CAPTURES, ETC. 163 



November, I met with much better luck. Among the most 

 important captures then were -.—Xylina ornithopiis (24), X. soda 

 (1-1), X. semihrunnea (1), Aporophila nigra (2), A. lutulenta (2), 

 Scopelosoma satellitia, and others. The last-named has been of 

 unusually common occurrence during the whole of November, and 

 I have supplied other entomologists with quantities of this species 

 in different forms. I should just like to know whether any 

 other entomologists have met with the same experience. — J. M.

The CoiiOEADO Beetle. — With reference to the note on page 

 65, the following information, which I have received from the 

 U.S. Department of Agriculture, will be of interest : — " The 

 original specimens of Doryphora iO -li7ieata were captured ' on 

 the upper Missouri,' and although it undoubtedly occurs in the 

 State of Colorado, it is more common in Nebraska and other 

 neighbouring States. It originally occurred in the Rocky Moun- 

 tain region on Solanum rostratum, and was undoubtedly abundant 

 where that species grew. The coleopterous genus Dorypliora 

 was founded by Illiger in 1807, while the lepidopterous genus of 

 the same name was founded by Heinemann in 1870. The last 

 American check-list (Henshaw's) retains \()-lincatam Doryphoi'a." 

 I have found Solanum rostratum growing about Denver and other 

 localities in Colorado, on the eastern slope of the mountains, 

 but have not yet met with Doryphora. The genus Doryphora, 

 Hein., being preoccupied, might conveniently be changed to 

 Doryphorella. — T. D. A. Cockerell ; West Cliff, Custer Co.,

Errata. — In the article last month upon country membership 

 in the South London Natural History Society (Entom. 121), the 

 address of the Society was in error printed E.C., whereas it should 

 have been Bridge House Hotel, London Bridge, S.E. This has 

 caused many letters to be returned, there being a " Bridge 

 House," E.C., where the Society was not known. On p. 48, 

 B. muralis var. ohs^cura, at the end of the description occurs the 



phrase, " Herr Hoffmann Alps." This should be placed 



after the word "Sandwich," at the end of the paragraph referring 

 to var. par.
