Mr. Norm ax H. Joy brought for exhibition Coleoptera taken 

 during a three days' trip to Lundy Island in August. 

 Melanophthalma distinguenda, Con., a species new to Britain ; 

 Stenus ossium,va,r. insidaris,& variety apparently new to science; 

 series of Psylliodes luridipennis, Kuts., and Ceuthorrhynckus 

 contractus, var. pallipes, Crotch, peculiar to the island. One 

 hundred and sixty -three species were taken on the island, 

 about eighty of which are not recorded in Wollaston's and 

 F. Smith's lists of Lundy Coleoptera. 



Mr. Alfred Sich showed examples of Argyresthia iUumina- 

 tella, Z., two of the four specimens taken near Hailsham, 

 Sussex, on June 15th this year. They were beaten off j'iuus, 

 and until examined with a lens were supposed to be Ocnero- 

 stoma piniariella, of which species two were also exhibited for 

 comparison. Afterwards they were thought to be A. illumina- 

 tella, and two specimens were sent to Mr. Meyrick, who has, 

 by request, recorded the occurrence of the species in the 

 Entomologists' Monthly Magazine. 



Mr. W. J. Lucas exhibited the larva, cocoon, and the 

 subsequent imago of an "ant-lion," Myrmeleonformicarius, from 

 two Spanish larvse given him by Dr. T. A. Chapman last 

 autumn. The difference in size between the small larva and 

 the large perfect insect was remarkable. He also showed a 

 living $ of the rather scarce grasshopper Stenobothrus rttjipes, 

 taken in the New Forest at the end of August, and kept alive 

 feeding on grass. 



Mr. G. C. Champion exhibited several examples of Lymexy- 

 lon navale, L., from the New Forest, whence it had not been 

 previously recorded. Mr. H. St. J. Donisthorpe said that he 

 had been the first Coleopterist to take it there. 



Mr. A. H. Jones showed series of Lycxna argus, L. (L. xyon, 

 Schiff.) var. hypochiona, a South European form, taken on 

 the 16th July last on the North Downs; also for comparison 

 specimens of L. argyrognomon, Brgstr. (Z. argus, Esp.) from 

 Sierre in the Rhone Valley, to which species they have a far 

 greater resemblance on the under-side both in regard to 

 coloration and the arrangement of the spots, than to typical 

 L. argus.
