cespitalis, Heliothea atralis, Titanio pollinalis, Stenia 
punctalis, Myelois cribrella, Homeosoma sinuella, Ephestia 
mistralella. For the naming of this and of the following 
Trochiliums I am indebted to Sir G. Hampson: 7. wrocert-

leucomelena, Zell. Cases of Fumea casta were found at 
Vigo, and an imago of F. crassiorel/a taken on the wing at 
Brafiuelas. Bactra lanceolana was common in marshes and 
Tortria viridana and leflingiana amongst oak trees. The 
few Tine sent to Lord Walsingham contained nothing 
of note. 
The Neuroptera are reported on in the Entomologist, 1906, 
pp. 275, 276, by Mr. K. J. Morton and Mr.W. J. Lucas; they 
include a new Trichopteron, Adicella meridionalis, Morton. 
The Geometre are in the hands of Mr. L. B. Prout. 
The Diptera have been presented to the British Museum 
at South Kensington. <A few Asilide with their prey are 
exceptions, and are noted in Ent. Trans. 1906, pp. 335, 
340, 357, 358. The larva of Microdon sp. was also found 
in an ants’ nest at Vigo. 
The Hymenoptera have been handed to Mr. E. Saunders. 
The Coleoptera observed during the present excursion 
were not, as a whole, of particular interest, at any rate in 
the neighbourhood of Vigo and Pontevedra, most of 
the species taken being well-known or widely-distributed 
forms. The heaths, pine-woods, and oak-thickets, covering 
the mountain slopes, where not planted with vines, maize, 
etc., looked rather suggestive of Scotland, and the heath- 
covered, well-watered moorland at Brafiuelasand Ucedo, 
also, was anything but productive. At Casayo, however, 
we got well amongst the mountains, and the slopes and 
valleys here afforded a varied beetle-fauna, though the 
highest summits reached (about 6,000 feet) scarcely repaid 
the climb, perhaps owing to the close grazing everywhere 
by goats and cattle. As might be expected, most of the 
insects observed in this last-mentioned district were 
similar or closely allied to those observed in previous 
years at Canales, Bejar, or Pajares, the most striking addi- 
tion, perhaps, being Lobonyx xneus, for the first time seen 
alive by us. Various species of Zonabris were of course 
much in evidence here, Z. dufowrt being the best. On 
the young oaks were to be found numerous Buprestids 
(Corabus, Agrilus), Clythrids, Cryptocephalus bimaculatus 
(wonderfully like a common Lachnxa, both on the wing and
