[Read July 2ncl, 1884.] 



From several circumstances I have had but little time 

 during the collecting season of 1883 and the past winter 

 to devote to Entomology, consequently the present list 

 does not contain all the novelties I have met with ; the 

 remainder I hope to be able to include in next year's 

 list. At present there seems to be no diminution in 

 the additions to the number of continental or new 

 species hitherto overlooked in this country. 



Besides the entomologists mentioned in my previous 

 papers, I am this year indebted to Mr. W. H. B. Fletcher 

 for a great many bred ichneumons, and many of them 

 are new to our fauna and some new to Science ; perhaps 

 the most important occurrence was that this year he has 

 been fortunate enough to breed the male and female of 

 Pezomachus Hopei, Gr. This is the first time that the 

 two sexes of any one of Gravenhorst's subapterous 

 Pezomachi have been bred ; the male proved to be one 

 of Gravenhorst's species of Cryjjtus. To Mr. Fletcher, 

 and the other entomologists who have so kindly assisted 

 me, my best thanks are due.
