THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 185 



Brockenhurst, last July, I was looking over some specimens 

 that had been captured by Mr. J. Gulliver, and specially 

 noticed a few very small burnets that I did not know, and 

 found they had been taken some two weeks before, — that 

 would have been the last week in June. A few days after [ 

 took the species myself in cop., and then felt certain that it 

 was a stranger to our list, and proves to be Zygaena Meliloti. 

 Unfortunately 1 was too late to get good specimens, and only 

 secured three, and those not fine. I also took during ray 

 stay, — Paphia var. Valezina, T. subsequa, " I. V. I." vdr. of 

 Irrorella, Monacha, Cribrum, Mesomella, Strigula, Cristnlalis, 

 Dipsacea, Oo, Turca, L. Comma, Phimaria, Immutata, Baju- 

 laria, Straminata, Emutaria (female, and have a few larvae 

 feeding), and others of general distribution. The season was 

 a bad one, and sugar useless the last fortnight. — IV. H. 

 Tugwell ; 3, Lewisham Road, Greenwich, S.E., Aug. 12, J 872. 



Zyg(Bna Meliloti, S;c., in the New Forest. — At the meeting 

 of the South London Entomological Society, held on 

 Wednesday, August 7th, Mr. Boden, of 127, Tooley Street, 

 exhibited two specimens of this species, which had been 

 captured (with others) by himself in the New Forest during 

 the present season. I find that I have two examples amongst 

 my series of Trifolii. I captured them on the 29Lh of June, 

 1871, when searching for A. caliginosa in its particular 

 locality, — Stubby Coppice, — and at the time considered them 

 merely diminutive specimens of Trifolii. — J. P. Barrett, 

 Hon. Sec, South London Entomological Society. 



ZygcBna Meliloti, a species new to Britain, discovered i7i 

 the New Forest, Hampshire. — While on an Entomological 

 visit to the New Forest, early in July, 1 took what I at first 

 thought might be a diminutive specimen of Z. Trifolii ; but on 

 the next day, taking two others exactly the same as the one 

 on the day preceding, I thought they might possibly be 

 something new. I have taken in all nine ; and having 

 (through a friend) submitted them to Mr. Doubleday, of 

 Epping, for his judgment on them, he, without hesitation, 

 pronounced them to be Z. Meliloti, — a continental species, 

 but new to Britain. — E. Harper; 37, Mansfield Street, 

 Kings/and Road.
