of media, and do not pass on to the cubitus. There are six 
or more anals close together at base, as in Gryllus. 
Bagshot Beds, Bournemouth (J. §. Gardner). British 
Museum, In. 19032. 
This singular but imperfect wing certainly appears to 
belong to the Gryllide, not very far from Gryllus, but it will 
easily be known by the peculiar markings. 
HOMOPTERA. 
Hammapteryx anglica, sp. n. (Fulgoride). 
Anterior wing about 15 mm. long and 7 broad, without 
markings. 
Costa strongly arched, the costal area deep (2 mm. near 
base), crossed by numerous (about five in 2 mm.) simple 
veins arising from the subcosta, the first few practically 
vertical, the others oblique ; radius emitting the sector very 
near (about 2 mm. from) base, as in Scolypopa, the sector 
forking about 3 mm. from its origin; media complex, 
branching very near base, the upper branch forking 2 mm. - 
beyond level of fork of radial sector, the lower branch forking 
at same level as fork of radial sector, and the lower division 
of this again forking. ‘The radius follows a straight course 
until it reaches the apical third of wing, when it is deflected 
downward. In the apical third of wing the parallel veins are 
extremely numerous, about eight in 2 mm. 
Bagshot Beds, Bournemouth (J. S. Gardner). British 
Museum, I. 15030. 
Differs from typical Hammapteryx (North American. 
Eocene) by the broader costal area, but appears to be con- 
generic. 
In. 19031, from the same locality and collector, appears to 
be the same species, but is too imperfect for positive identifi- 
cation. 
HYMENOPTERA. 
Epyris atavellus, sp. n. (Bethylide). (Fig. 2.) 
3 .—Length a little over 3 mm. 
Black, with the legs dark reddish fuscous. Head oblong, 
longer than broad; antenne 13-jointed, extending beyond 
tegule, thick basally, more slender in middle, but broad 
though flattened apically ; second antenne joint very short, 
50 w long, third 130 w long. Prothorax very long, distance 
from tegule to base of head almost or quite equal to length 
of head ; thorax not robust, metathorax long. Wings hyaline,
