Mr. A. S. OUiff exhibited Aciphns singidaris, recentlj' described in the 

 • Entomologists' Monthly Magazine,' from Brazil. It had the appearance 

 of one of the Staphylinida, but was a Cuciijus strongly resembling Dia- 

 grypnodes Wakefieldii, Waterh., from New Zealand. 



Mr. R. M'Lachlan exhibited specimens of Trichoptera lately collected 

 in Unst, North Shetland, by Mr. C. A. Briggs (see Ent. Mo. Mag. 

 xxi, 153). 



Mr. C. 0. Waterhouse exhibited a specimen of Julodis Finchi from 

 Karachi, a Buprestid of nearly twice the size of the largest hitherto known 

 species, recently described by him in the ' Annals and Magazine of Natural 

 History.' 



The Rev. Leonard Blomfield contributed a note on the capture of a 

 second specimen of, as was supposed, Acanthocinus (Bdilis near Bath in 

 October last, which was found on a man's back who was engaged in chop- 

 ping blocks of wood which proved to be North-American pine, and which 

 contained numerous burrows of the Longicorn. Mr. Blomefield alluded to 

 the first notice of the occurrence of this species in a paper which he read 

 before the Bath Natural History Society on December 12th, J 883, a copy 

 of which was presented to the Society's library. 



Messrs. Waterhouse, Champion, and Janson pointed out that the insect 

 referred to was a Monohammus, and the former gentleman identified the 

 species as M. titillator, Fabr. ; a specimen in the National Collection was 

 found alive at Caterham Valley, Surrey. It was also remarked that the 

 Acanthocinus was indigenous at Rannoch, and occurred commonly at many 

 other localities, such as Manchester, Hull, in the Durham coal-pits, and 

 even a living specimen in the British Museum, being frequently distributed 

 in scaffold-poles and other imported timber. 



Paper read. 

 Mr. H. J. S. Pryer contributed a paper " On two remarkable cases of 

 mimicry from Elopura, British North Borneo, with remarks on Mr. George 

 Lewis' paper read before the Society on 4th October, 1882." The cases of 

 mimicry referred to was that of a large coleopteron [Xothojjeus fasciati- 

 pennis, n. s., C. 0. Waterhouse) mimicking an equally large hymenopteron
