Mr. Weir exhibited eight examples of Agi'otera nemoralis, taken by him 
in June at Abbot's Wood, near Lewes. They were observed only in the 
thickest parts of the wood. 
Prof. Westwood sent copies of two parts of his forthcoming ' Thesaurus 
Entomologicus Oxoniensis.' 
Mr. Bond exhibited larvse of the Bruchus from Japan brought to the last 
meeting. The species was apparently undescribed, and would be included. 
in the paper on Japanese Curculionidje, prepared (for the Belgian ' Annales') 
by M. Roelofs. 
Mr. M'Lachlan exhibited a strongly-marked instance of gynaudromorphism 
in a Dipterous insect (one of the Syrphidae) taken by him at Black Park. 
Mr. Miiller exhibited a number of small galls found by Mr. Trovey 
Blackraore on the under side of a broad-leaved species of oak growing near 
Tangier : they were probably formed by a species of Neuroterus. Mr. Black- 
more also exhibited some large galls found on the same species of oak, 
which had been taken possession of by an ant (Crematogaster scutellaris, 
Oliv.). Mr. Smith remarked that the common oak-apple in this country was 
sometimes taken possession of, in a similar manner, by a species of Osmia. 
Mr. W. B. Pryer exhibited a selection from his captures of Lepidoptera 
from China. 
Papers read, dr. 
Sir Sidney Saunders communicated a paper, " On the Habits and Eco- 
nomy of certain Hymenopterous Insects which nidificate in Briars, and 
their Parasites." The insects were exhibited at the last meeting, and 
Sir Sidney further exhibited a specimen of a Raphiglossa, in illustration 
of the remarkable position of the insect during repose. It was attached by 
its mandibles to a thorn, from which it extended horizontally, without any 
further support, the legs being uppermost. Mr. F. Smith reminded the 
meeting that an analogous habit had been recorded concerning Chelostoma 
florisomne, and tbe individuals observed were invariably males. 
Mr. Butler communicated a paper on the species of Galeodides, with 
description of a new species in the British Museum.
