THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 131 



Ceuthorhynchideus Poweri. Under this name Mr. Rye 

 describes a rbynchopboron wbicb be beHeves new to Science. 

 Its allies are C. floralis and C. pyrrborbyncbus ; it more par- 

 ticularly resembles tbe rufous examples of tbe latter. These 

 specimens were taken in June last, by Dr. Power, at Wey- 

 bridge. 



Oligota pygmtBa. Mr. D. Sharp took a single specimen of 

 this insect last September, in a refuse-heap on Shirley Com- 

 mon. 



Eiinearthron froniicorne. Dr. Power has determined this 

 Panzerian species as British, from a considerable number of 

 specimens found in a fungus growing on an old willow at 

 Weybridge. 



Quedius truncicola. Dr. Power took some half-dozen 

 specimens of this insect early in the present year, in some 

 old trees near Esher. 



Oligota jlamcoruis. Dr. Power took this insect in pro- 

 fusion in September last, on one particular lime tree near 

 Esher. 



OdonicBUS mohilicornis. Mr. De Rivaz took a single spe- 

 cimen of this rare beetle on the road between Twickenham 

 and Hanworth ; date not given. 



Swarms of Syrp/ii in the Isle of Wight. Mr. Walker, in 

 alluding to this remarkable visitation, says that Syrpbus Py- 

 rastri prefers tbe so-called sycamore Aphis, which is limited 

 to the maple, and does not belong to the migratory groujjs of 

 Aphides. 



Larva of T,eucania comma. — Mr. Buckler describes this 

 larva, which I believe no English Entomologist had pre- 

 viously succeeded in rearing : I hope to publish a full de- 

 scription hereafter in the ' Entomologist.' 



Larva of Procris Geryon. Mr. Horton- has discovered 

 that the young larva of this species mines tbe leaves of He- 

 lianthemum vulgare, and Procris Statices those of Oxalis ace- 

 tosella : with regard to the latter, a similar observation had 

 previously been niade by M. Guenee. 



Chcerocampa Celerio. Mr. Borthwick records the capture 

 of this rare insect on the New County Buildings [at Alloa?]. 



Platypteryx tinguicula. Mr. Machin has taken tbe larva 

 of this species at the same period and in tbe same locality 

 where I found it in such profusion last year, as already
