One or two casuals should be mentioned : — 



Phaneroptera falcata, Scop. — One specimen was taken by 

 Dr. Mason in September, 1881, at Porthgwarra, near Land's End. 

 It is a slender species with wings considerably longer than the 

 elytra. In 1907 Mr. W. Daws sent me an insect for inspection, 

 which he took at Sennen Cove, September 11th, 1884. Unfortu- 

 nately, it reached me in a fragmentary condition, but I have no 

 doubt it was this species. So it may be British after all. 



Diestrammena marmorata, de Hann. — In the " Entomolo- 

 gist," vol. xlvii., 1914, p. 145, I published a figure and notes on the 

 occurrence of this large spider-like species, which occurred in a 

 nursery at St. Leonards. I had previously received it from Kew 

 Gardens, and on October 1st, 1913, received decomposing fragments 

 of what I took to be other specimens, which were taken at Ipswich. 

 This is not unlikely to occur again under similar circumstances, 

 and, being an animal-feeder, should prove a useful insect. 



Copiophora rostrata, Stal. — One fine female from Kew 

 Gardens. 



Copiophora cornuta. — In a hot-house near Birmingham— not 

 the first time it has been taken in this country (McLachlan). 



Copiophora sp. — In a hot-house at Lee (Billups).
