had done much mischief to peach trees in forcing houses. It was 

 a small Aphis-like insect, probably in the pupa state, enclosed in 

 a cottony cocoon. It had, apparently, no mouth ; in this respect 

 resembling the males of Coccus. Nothing similar, he remarked,

 always active, and formed no cocoon. 



Mr. E, Doubleday remarked, that Mr. Ingall had some time 

 since pointed out that the males o( Lachnus Quercus had no mouth. 



Mr. Bond exhibited a collection of insects formed on the Bun- 

 darra River, about 400 miles from Sydney, in which Mr. Westwood 

 pointed out some fine Pambori, two new species of Carenum, a new 

 species of Cerapterus, a new genus of Helopidce, and many other 

 new or rare species. 



Mr. White exhibited a specimen o^ a. Cerapterus from Port Natal, 

 resembling C. Smithii, but wanting the white spot on the elytra. 



Mr. Westwood read a paper on a new genus of Helopidce, for 

 which he proposed the name of Projjhanes ; also descriptions of 

 two new species of Carenum.
