(2) Heodes phlaeas ethiopica, subsp. n., from about 6000 ft., 
in the extreme 8.W. of Uganda and also further south on 
the high country near Lake Kivu and between it and the 
northern end of Tanganyika. It will probably be found to 
extend to all similar elevations bordering the Western Rift 
Valley. 
It is possible that this latter subspecies may be identical 
with pseudophlaeas Lucas (1866), an Abyssinian form to 
which Aurivillius appends the note—‘ vix descripta. ? = 
phlaeas, I, var. geogr.”” But the structural characters ought 
to be investigated before concluding that this is the same as 
the Uganda form. The single Abyssinian example in the 
British Museum does not greatly help, because it is a female 
with an under surface too worn for the determination of the 
original tint. A series of specimens from Abyssinia is much 
to be desired. 
LARVAE OF RARE BritisH BEETLES, ETc.—Mr. DoNISTHORPE 
exhibited (1) a specimen of Gymnetron squamicolle Reitter, 
taken by himself at Glencar, Co. Kerry, on June 16, 1902, a 
species not previously recorded from the British Isles, and 
mentioned its geographical distribution, ete. 
(2) Cassida nebulosa L., and its pupa, larval skin,. etc., 
taken on Chenopodium album near Waterbeach, August 24, 
1921. He said that the larva pupated on August 28, and a 
number of Chalcid parasites emerged in September from three 
holes in the dorsal surface of the larva; also another pupa 
of the same taken near Wokingham, September 6, 1920, 
thirteen specimens of the same Chalcid having emerged a week 
later from the dorsal surface. 
(3) Larvae both dead and living of Trinodes hirtus F., taken 
under bark of oak and elm in spiders’ webs in Richmond 
Park, July 28, 1921; also a perfect insect taken in the same 
locality on May 31, 1912. He also made some remarks on 
the habits of these larvae and the difficulty of rearing them. 
A Scotytip NEW TO Britain.—Mr. D: J. ATKINSON 
exhibited examples of Ips erosus Woll., found breeding in 
the Forest of Dean in August 1921. He had taken this 
Scolytid in large numbers in felled Scots Pine in company 
with Ips seadentatus Boérn., a beetle sufficiently uncommon
