Exhibitions. 



Mr. Stevens exhibited some beautiful Coleoptera, taken by Mr. Wallace, at Dory, 

 New Guinea, amongst which were Eupholus Cuvieri, E. Schonherri, Promechus 

 splendidus and Oxycephala speciosa. He also exhibited, from the same locality, a 

 most extraordinary nondescript Dipterous insect, having long horn-like appendages 

 to the eyes. 



Mr. Smith mentioned that amongst the Hymenoptera recently sentbyMr.Wallace 

 from Celebes, was a species of Doliehurus, which was interesting from the fact that the 

 only other known species of this remarkable genus, D. corniculus, is European. 



Mr. Jauson exhibited five species of Coleoptera hitherto unrecorded as British, 

 with notes of their localities, &c., as follows : — 



1. Oligota atomaria, Eric, Kraalz, Colney Hatch, December 27, 1855. Dis- 

 tinguished from O. pusillima by its broader form and its pitchy black legs and 

 antennae. 



2. Stetius proditor, Eric, Kraatz. Near Finchley, December 5, 1858. 



3. Plalyslelhus nilens. Sahib., Kraatz. Highgate. 



4. Abracus graniilum, Eric, de Morseul. Walthamstow, Essex, May 18, 1851. 



5. Lccmophleus duplicatus, Waltl., Eric. Beneath bark of a dead oak near High- 

 gate, March 27, 1859. Readily recognised from its congeners by the two impressed 

 longitudinal lines on each side of the thorax, and the truncate elytra of the male. 



Mr. Jauson also exhibited the following Coleoptera: —
