268 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 
season, by Mr. Eedle, viz. Pachnobia alpina, being the third 
known British example; a fine variety of Larentia cesiata; a 
very dark form of Thera juniperata, being its ordinary condi- 
tion in the Rannoch district, and remarkable also for the time of 
its appearance, which was nearly two months earlier than in 
England; Gelechia boreella; and finally Hyponomeuta evony- 
mella, ZL. (Padi, Zeller), the larva of which Mr. Eedle had 
observed to cover the trees of bird-cherry with its webs to a 
remarkable extent,—a piece of web exhibited was a yard 
long. 
[These interesting insects have already been fully noticed 
in the ‘ Entomologist,’ v. 199, which see for a full report of 
Mr. Eedle’s captures in Scotland, in the spring of this year.— 
I. Newman.) 
Imago of Atalanta with head of Larva.—My. Bond also 
exhibited an example of Vanessa Atalanta, bred by Mr. 
Jackson, which still retained the larval head. Prof. Westwood 
said that this form of monstrosity was very rare. He could 
call to mind only four recorded instances: (1) Nymphalis 
Populi, (2) Gastropacha quercifolia (3) Dytiscus marginalis 
in the British Museum, and (4) a Syrphus in the Oxford 
Museum. 
New British Beetle-—The Rev. H. 8. Gorham exhibited 
a beetle new to the British list, concerning which he made 
the following remarks:—“ Oxvylelus fulvipes of Erichson. 
Of the indigenous species most allied to O. rugosus, Fab., 
from which it differs as follows: the head, thorax and elytra 
are much less closely punctured, especially the former, which 
also lacks the depression of the clypeus, conspicuous in 
rugosus; this part also being shining instead of opaque. The 
thorax is proportionally shorter and more narrowed towards 
the base; the lateral margins obsoletely crenulate. The legs 
and first four joints of the antenne are testaceous; these 
joints, however, in my specimens are spotted with pitchy. 
The third joint is shorter than the second; whereas the 
reverse is the case in rugosus. In the male characters 
beneath, this species presents considerable differences,—the 
fiflh segment being simple (in rugosus the margin bears a 
conspicuous tubercle), and the seventh has the margin simply 
bisinuate. One male and three female specimens, found by 
myself, near a wet spot in a wood, near Needworth, Stafford-
