Exhibitions, dc. 



Dr. Sharp exhibited a female specimen of a coleopterous 

 insect, Temnochila quadricollis, Reitt., which was the subject 

 of a very unusual malformation. Dr. Sharp said that the 

 malformation was of the nature termed "ectromelie" by 

 Lacordaire ; this form of malformation, viz., by deficiency 

 of some part, is rare, but occurs occasionally m parts of 

 the extremities. In the specimen exhibited by Dr. Sharp, 

 the part wanting was the presternum between and behind 

 the middle coxae. With this exception the structure of the 

 individual appeared to be normal, and even the malformation 

 was symmetrical. 



Mr. R. W. Lloyd exhibited three specimens of Elater 

 pomonce, taken about the middle of March last, at Brocken- 

 hurst, in the New Forest. 



Colonel Swinhoe exhibited and read notes on certain 

 species of the genus Euthalia.
