(from the Sierra de Bejar, above Candelario) ; 9 1. paradoxa, 
var. piedrahitae (above Piedrahita); also 6 cocoons of the 
first-named variety of H. paradoxa, and 9g of the last-named, 
and 4 /chneumonidae bred from cocoons of the var. piedrahitae. 
In addition to these and other valuable accessions to the 
general collection from the same localities, several Spanish 
Asilidae captured with their insect prey are included. From 
Bejar, two of these predaceous flies, each devouring a hive- 
bee, and one with a beetle; from Piedrahita, an Asilid with 
the large butterfly Pyramezs cardui, an astonishing example of 
discrepancy in size between captor and prey; from Moncayo, 
two Asilids with beetles and one with a moth. 
From other countries Dr. Chapman’s donation includes 
a series of 8 moths (bred) and 2 cases of Crinopteryx familiella 
(Cannes, 1901) ; and 6 moths (bred) and 4 cases of Apterona 
crenulella (Locarno, 1902). 
A very valuable little collection of insects from Lake Tana, 
Abyssinia, at a height of about 6,500 ft. (Feb. 1903), was 
presented by the captor, Dr. A. J. Hayes of Cairo. The 
attention of the donor was directed to the needs of the 
Department by W. L. S. Loat, Esq., who has himself given 
us so much valuable material. The locality renders all the 
specimens of such high interest that a complete list is printed 
below. Dr. Dixey has kindly determined and made remarks 
upon the Prerinae.
