itiatus VH-striatus, Miill., in rotten wood at a depth of three to four feet 

 below the surface of the ground. Mr. Matthews had no doubt but that the 

 Belyta was parasitic on Anommatus. 



Mr. A. S. OlHfF remarked that he had recently captured a specimen of 

 Anommatus VZ-striatus in rotten wood at Whetstone, Middlesex. 



Mr. C. O. Waterhouse exhibited a peculiar May-fly said to be luminous, 

 captured by Mr. G. Lewis at Kitugalle, Ceylon, 1500 ft. above the level of 

 the sea. 



The Rev. A. E. Eaton said the specimen was a male Telorjanodes, and 

 was the first male imago of the genus he had seen. There were sub- 

 imagos of the genus Teloganodes (type Cloe tristis, Hag.), both in the British 

 Museum and in Dr. Hageu's collection. Mr. Eaton called attention to the 

 fact that Dr. Hagen had already recorded an instance of luminosity in a 

 male Canis, as observed by Prof. Zaddach at Neuhausen, near Pillau (Trans. 

 Ent. Soc. Lond. 1873, p. 399). 



Mr. G. Lewis remarked of the specimen that when living the whole 

 abdomen was luminous, but not brightly so, sufficiently, however, to serve 

 for its capture on a very dark night. 



Papers read. 



Lord Walsingham communicated a memoir on " North American 

 ColeophorcB." It was almost entirely descriptive of new species of the 

 genus collected by the author in California and Oregon. The occurrence 

 near Washington of two European species new to the United States, viz., 

 C. ccBsjAtltieUa, Zell., and C. currucipennella, Zell., was also recorded. 



Mr. W. H. Miskin communicated a short paper on " Ogijris Genoveva, 

 Hewitson, and its life-history." The larva and pupa were described by Mr. 

 Barnard, of Coomooboolaroo ; the former feeds on a species of Loranthus, 

 and is nocturnal in its habits. 



The Secretary read a paper by Mr. John Scott, entitled " On certain 

 genera and species of the group of Psyllidce in the collection of the British 

 Museum," ia which many Walkerian species were redescribed and several 

 new genera characterised ; also a second memoir containing the " Descrip- 

 tions of a new genus and two new species of Psyllidce from South America," 

 which had been received from Dr. C. Berg, of Buenos Ayres, with specimens 

 of the galls which they produced. 



New Part of 'Transactions.' 

 Part II. of the ' Transactions ' for 1882 was on the table.
