Miomeris cequisgranensis, Foerst. 



Uebersicht d. Gatt. u. Art. d. Fam. d. Plectiscoiden, 

 92, $ , <j> . 



A male of this species has been taken by Mr. E. Par- 

 fitt in the neighbourhood of Exeter. 



Dicolus pectoralis, Foerst. 



L. c, 97, <? , ? . 



This species is added to our list on the strength of a 

 female which was sent to me by the Eev. T. A. Mar- 

 shall. These last two insects belong to the Plectiscus 

 group, which Foerster has divided into many genera ; 

 both species are very distinct and easily recognised. 



TRYPHONID.E. 

 Erromenus analis, Brischke. 

 Brischke, D. Ich. d. Prov. W. u. 0. Preus., p. 101, <? , ? . 



Mr. J. E. Fletcher has bred a male of this species 

 from Nematus crassulus ; it differs slightly from the de- 

 scription in having the margins of the middle segments 

 of the abdomen not pale marked, and there is a fuscous 

 spot above on the hind tibiae before the base, and the 

 hind and intermediate tarsi are brownish stained to- 

 wards their apical half. 



This species is very like an Exochus, as Hr. Brischke 

 has remarked ; the greater part of the legs are red, and 

 the apex of the abdomen is red. 



Cteniscus Dahlbomi, Holm. 



Mon. Try. Suec, 242, 40, ? . 



I captured a specimen of this species at Horning Ferry, 

 Norfolk, at the end of June. Mr. Bignell has also taken 

 a female in the neighbourhood of Plymouth. 



Exochus niger, n. s. 



Niger, tibiis tarsisque runs. 



Head subquadrate, slanting behind the eyes ; trans- 

 verse impressions below the anterior ocellus very faint ; 

 head shining, with a few scattered punctures ; meso-
