 Incidentally also it is worth noticing that he speaks of both 

 sexes of L. thalassma assembling to drink at moist spots. The 

 drinking habits of male Pierines are well known, but it is 

 certainly somewhat unusual to find the females consorting 

 with them on these occasions. 



A FIVE-SPOTTED Anthrocera filipendulae. — Mr. R. 

 Adkin exhibited a 5-spotted specimen of Anthrocera fili- 

 pendulae. A number of cocoons were collected from grass 

 stems in a field at the top of the downs near Otford, Kent, 

 in June last, and during July some dozens of imagines were 

 reared from them, all of them being of the ordinary 6-spotted 

 form except this one. On the underside slight traces of the 

 sixth spot were distinguishable. 



A NEW British Capsid.— Mr. E. A. Butler exhibited a 

 series of Brachyarthrwn limitatum, Fieb., a Capsid new to the 

 British list, taken in Epping Forest, July 3, 1915, on aspen. 

 The first British specimen was taken by Mr. C. Morley in 

 Suffolk, July 2, 1904, but remained unidentified till the above 

 capture. 



A teratological Beetle. — Mr. Butler also exhibited 

 a specimen of Timarcha violaceo-nigra, De G., with the left 

 intermediate leg furnished with two tarsi, placed upon a 

 much-broadened tibia. The outermost tarsus was nearly 

 normal, but the inner one had the joints broader and more 

 slender, with three lobes on one side and only two on the 

 other.
