52. Calyptus atricornis. — Brachistes atricornis, Ratz. 

 Ichn. d. Forst. ii. 28 ; C. atricornis, Reinh. Berl. ent. 

 Zeit. 1867, p. 371, $. 



Two 2 s and one $ from Mar Forest, Braemar. They 

 are large for the genus, and differ from rujicoxis, 

 Wesm., in the terebra, which is hardly as long as the 

 abdomen. Another large cognate species I am unable 

 to name at present ; the terebra is longer than the 

 body; only the 1st segment rugose; and the 2nd 

 cubital cell indicated by two short branches forming 

 the two ends of the outer nerve : — characters which 

 approach Aspidogonus. To this last genus certainly 

 belongs Br aeon analis, Nees (Cat. p. 120), of which 

 I have taken a single specimen. The other species, 

 diversicornis, Wesm., which I have not seen, is intro- 

 duced as British on the authority of Westwood, Int. 

 ii. Synopsis, p. 62. 

 Utetes testaceus, Wesm. (Cat. p. 123), occurs not 

 unfrequently in June near St. Albans, and is a tine 

 addition to the British list. 

 Ch^non anceps. Curt. (Cat. p. 130). The head quarters 

 of this rare insect are the marshes of the Dee, about 

 three miles from Braemar, near the bridge leading to 

 Mar Forest and Ben-Muc-Dhu. 



OXYURA. 



Drtinus formicarius, Latr., figures in the British 

 Catalogue on the authority of its capture by Mr. 

 Baly, near Cobham. My attention was drawn to this 

 fact by Prof. Westwood, Avho possesses the specimen. 



Chelogynus lapponicus, Thorns., is common in Eng- 

 land, near St. Albans, &c. Hitherto confounded with 

 luciduSf HaL
