11. Tachimifi lipustulatus. November, in decayed turnips. — Id. 



12. Ptinus crenatus. March, on decayed carrots. — Id. 



13. Cryptophagus cellaris. March, on decayed apples. — Id. 



14. Jiiliis terrestris. The roots of decayed cauliflowers and other 

 vegetables are infested in March by clusters of young Juli and Poly- 

 desmi, particularly the former, which are of a white colour, with a row 

 of pink spots on each side, but after death become black, like the 

 full-grown insect. They are the Julus pulchellus of Leach. A few 

 Lithobii, Geophili and Onisci, are found in the same situations, also 

 some species of Gyrohypnus, Oxytelus, Carpalimus, Proteinus, An- 

 thobium, Tachyporus, Aleochara, Cercyon and Borborus. — Id. 



15. Lophop)teryx carmelila. On the 25th of April last, I took a fine 

 male of this rare insect at Birch-wood, which I believe is a new loca- 

 lity. Thirty years since it was taken at Darenth, by the elder Mr. 

 Standish. — Alfred Lambert ', 6, Trinity St., Borough, May 12, 1841. 



16. Lehia crux minor. I beat a single specimen of this insect from 

 the blossoms of a hawthorn-bush, at Coombe Hurst, near Croydon, 

 yesterday. — T. Ingall; Camherwell Grove, May 14, 1841. 



17. RJmiomacer Attelahoides. A few days since I had the good 

 fortune to capture a single specimen of this rare insect about four miles 

 fi-om this place : it had previously occurred in one or two Scotch lo- 

 calities, but I believe it has never before been taken in England. — 

 T. C. Hey sham; Carlisle, May 16, 1841. 



18. Noctua perspicillaris. A very beautiful specimen of Noctua 

 perspicillaris, now in my collection, was taken two years ago in a gar- 

 den in this town, at the end of the month of June. It had only just 

 emerged from the chrysalis, for, when first observed, its wings were not 

 expanded, and it was resting upon a boarded fence, which partly sur- 

 rounds the garden. — C. J. Paget ; Yarmouth, May 17, 1841. 



19. Nonagria pilicornis. It may perhaps be worth noticing that 

 " inter alia " last year produced me several fine specimens of Nona- 

 gria pilicornis, which is considered, I believe, a rare British insect. 

 The female is the rarer sex. Some specimens are much paler than 

 others. — Id.
