size the well-known Tabanus bovinus, but is distinguished at 

 a glance by the testaceous colour of the abdomen. The En- 

 tomological Club cabinet possesses a fine series, mostly 

 taken in the South-west of England. All the specimens are 

 females. — Edward Newman. 



Heemalopota lungicornis, a new Britisli Dipteron of the 

 Family TabanidcB. — This species was separated by Macquart 

 in his 'Natural History of Diptera,' vol. i. p. 211 : it is 

 noticed by Meigen as a variety of H. pluvialis, from which it 

 differs in the antennse being at least a third longer, and 

 having the basal joint slender and cylindrical, while in H. 

 pluvialis it is obtusely oval ; the general distribution of 

 colour in body and wings is nearly the same as in H. plu- 

 vialis, but the insect is altogether larger : there are two spe- 

 cimens in the Entomological Club cabinet — one from the 

 neighbourhood of Balcombe, in Sussex ; the other from the 

 Kent coast. — Id. 



Anthrax hifasciata, a new British Dipteron of the Family 

 Anthracida. — This species is figured by Meigen, pi. 17, fig. 

 15, and appears identical with A. maura of Fabricius, Syst. 

 Ant. No. 12. It much resembles A. fenestratus, but the dark 

 portion of the wings is uninterrupted by hyaline spots. In 

 the Entomological Club cabinet. — Id. 



Anthrax Pandora, a new British Dipteron of the Family 

 Anthracidce. — This species is figured by Meigen, pi. 17, 

 figs. 4 and 16. Like the preceding, it much resembles An- 

 thrax fenestratus, and I have received both species under 

 that name from the South-west of England : they have stood 

 for some time in the Entomological Club cabinet as Anthrax 

 fenesti-atus, but, feeling dissatisfied with the name, I took 

 them to Mr. Walker, to whom I am indebted for the names 

 now given. — Id. 



Anthrax semiatra, a new British Dipteron of the Family 

 Anthracid<E. — Meigen, pi. 17, fig. 14. A very distinct and 

 conspicuous species. A pair of this beautiful insect, pierced 

 with English pins, have been most kindly presented by Mr. 

 Walcott, but I am sorry to add I have no clew whatever to 

 the locality. Full descriptions will appear in the ' Year- 

 Book:— Id. 



Camponiscus Healtei, a new British Hymenopteron of the 

 Family TentliredinidcB. — During the past autumn Mr. Healy,
