6 THE ENTOMOLOGIST- 



Fab., but is rather more shiny, a little narrowei', and more 

 oblong, the punctuation not quite so close, and a trifle more 

 distinct ; the palpi are entirely testaceous (not having the 

 penultimate joint pitchy), and the club of the antennae not 

 so black ; the head also is only slightly infuscate in the 

 middle, whilst in P. testaceus it is decidedly black, with the 

 sides of the clypeus testaceous. According to Thomson's 

 description {loc. cit.) the femora appear to differ in colour 

 in the two species, being black with the extreme apex pale 

 in P. testaceus, and blackish with the upper side of the apex 

 testaceous in P. maritiraus, but these last-mentioned minute 

 differences of colour can scarcely be relied upon as constant, 

 and the insects could only present the proper tone when 

 alive."— P. 67.

Mr. Smith's paper, intituled " Notes on Hymenoplera," is 

 this year very meagre : he admits that a little spice of 

 romance might have made it more piquant and attractive, 

 but he declines making that additon. He complains of the 

 great scarcity of Hymenoptera during 1863, but mentions 

 that he has captured near Lowestoft a specimen of the rare 

 Didineus lunicornis, a male of Myrmica lippula at Corfe 

 Castle, in Dorsetshire, and a specimen of Heraichroa Alni oji
