and Vavao (Friendly Islands), and Samoa are especially 
valuable, inasmuch as these localities are unrepresented or 
very poorly represented in the Department. 
Five examples of the interesting Pierine butterfly Zatochila 
blanchardi, and two of TZ. demodice from Chile (1882-4), 
together with two of 7. autodice from Monte Video (Dec., 
1880), were presented by the captor, Commander J. J. Walker, 
R.N., Hon. MOA. F.L:S{7F.ES. ~ fhe data are sfullmand 
precise and the specimens a valuable addition to the species 
of the genus in the Department. 
Seventy-eight Orthoptera, chiefly Acrzdzidae, from various 
localities in N.E., Rhodesia (1904-5), were presented by S. A. 
Neave, Esq., M.A., B.Sc., Magdalen College, and the British 
South African Company. The specimens, which were col- 
lected by Mr. Neave, are accompanied by admirable data 
of both time and place. The Acridians included a single 
example of a single species belonging to the sub-family 
Tetriginae. This specimen has been made the type of a new 
genus and new species, Cladoramus crenulatus, by Dr. J. L. 
Hancock, of Chicago. This, the only example of the sub- 
family captured by Mr. Neave, was found at Petauke (2,4c0 ft.) 
in the East Loangwa District of N.E. Rhodesia (Dec. 20, 
1904). 
A series of 26 Diptera, chiefly Asz/zdae, and 7 Fossorial 
Hymenoptera from Burma (1887~1900), and one Fossor from 
Sikkim (1894), were presented by Colonel C. T. Bingham. 
Precise and detailed data accompany all the specimens.

1906); 3 of a Dipteron, Stenopteryx hirundinis, from a swilt’s 
nest; and 5 of a flea, Pulex erinacei, from the hedgehog, 
Cobham Park (July, 1899). A most interesting addition to 
the bionomic series consists of a specimen of the ant-mimick- 
ing Staphylinid, Astelbus (MWyrmedonia) canalicufatus, found
