THE INSECTS OF THE NORTH CORNISH COAST. 



ibramble-liowers on the sand-hills at St. Enodoc), and Panurfixs 

 ursiims. The sawflies included Allanthus scrophnlarue, Selandria 

 serva, and Ahia scricca. The great green grasshopper {Phasno- 

 nura viriclissiina) was frequently seen, coming to sugar in its 

 immature stage during the first half of our visit, and again later 

 on as a perfect insect. 



Diptera were most plentiful round the little wood already re- 

 ferred to, and in the boggy meadows immediately below it. Here 

 Asiliis crabronifonnis, Dijsmachus trigunus, Anthrax paniscus, Volii- 

 cella hombijlaiis, Eristalis intricariiis, and Mesembrina meridiana 

 were taken, while Clirysops ccscutiens and Hematopota pluvialis 

 made work anything but pleasant, especially for my companion, 

 :who was much troubled by their unwelcome attentions. Of the last 

 inamed species one male was secured by sweeping, which may be 

 worth recording, for common as the females are, the males are 

 not so often met with. I took a male in the same way last year 

 in Lincolnshire.
