The stipes is probably represented by a chitinized plate, just 

 below the palpus, on each side of the membranous submentum. 

 These larger palpi are therefore certainly maxillary palpi. 

 The labial palpi consist of a single joint, which agrees in its 

 structure and in the white membranous apex with apical joint 

 of the maxillary palpi. 



Mr. G. C. Champion exhibited specimens of two species 

 of Dm'cadion found during his recent journey in Spain ; D. 

 almarzense. Esc. % from the summit of Moncayo, and D. 

 neilense, Esc, from the Sierra de Logrono. He also exhibited 

 numerous examples of Pyropsyche moncaunella, Chapm., found 

 by Dr. Chapman and himself on Moncayo. 



Mr. A. J. Chitty, Mr. F. B. Jennings and other Fellows 

 exhibited specimens of the genus Trojnphortis. Mr. Chitty 

 pointed out that the exhibition seemed to show that T. 

 tomentosus and T. obtusus were in reality one and the same 

 species. He had taken them together at Fon-es ; Dr. Sharp 

 had taken them both at Dumfries, and the Cumberland col- 

 lectors had also taken both forms togethei'. Apparently 

 obtusus had not been found apart from tomentosus in the United 

 Kingdom. Mr. H. St. J. Donisthorpe said that he had taken 

 the two together at Rannoch, Commander J. J. Walker 

 possessed both forms from Belfast taken together, and Mr. 

 Jennings mentioned a similar coincidence in Wales. Mr. 

 Chitty thought that there might be genuine distinct Tropi- 

 phorus obtusus on the Continent, but further physiological 

 evidence was necessary before any definite conclusion on the 

 subject could be obtained. 



The President exhibited a specimen of Glenea pulchelln 

 (Thorns.), one of three individuals of the species taken on 

 June 25th of last year, near " Barwood," in the Ouchterlong 

 Valley, in the Nilgiris, by Mr. Leslie Andrewes. In a letter 

 dated June 26th, 1903, not written with a view to publication, 

 Mr. Andrewes described the circumstances of their capture : 

 "The most striking [of the beetles] is a parti-coloured 

 Longicorn about 1| inches long, which clearly mimics a large 

 Ichneumon fly, which I have yet to discover. I have three 

 of the beetles. The first two I was just going to grab as 

 they settled, and each time I said to Downing, ' . . . I'm
