ENTOMOLOGY OF EPPING.

must confess to a plentiful degree of ignorance as to names. 

 Of Libellulites we have most of the species at all common, as 

 well as those I have mentioned above. I have only taken 

 here Sialis lutarius, and two only of the Perlites. In the 

 Phryganites, Neuronia fusca and Phryganea grandis, which, 

 I have been told, are considered rare, are both common here, 

 especially the former. 



The genera Cimbex, Clavellaria, Amasis, Lophyrus, 

 Messa, Melicerta, Tarpa, and Janus, I have not found here ; 

 but of the other Tenthredinina, we have a fair proportion ; 

 some not very common species occurring, as Zarcea fasciata, 

 Hylotoma Anglic a, H. ustulata, H. segmentaria, Schizo- 

 cerus pallipes, Cladius difformis, C. Geoffroyi, C. pallipes, 

 Croesus septentrionalis , Selandria aim, Allantus microcepha- 

 lus, &c. Of the genus Lyda we have only L. sylvatica, the 

 larva of which feeds in companies on the pear. Of Cephas 

 we find only C. pygmceus. Of the fossorial Hymenoptera 

 we have but few species, but perhaps more than I am aware 

 of, as I have not paid to these all the attention they deserve. 

 Of the Apina, we have about, or rather more than half, the 

 British species ; amongst which are Stelis aterrima, Heriades 

 campanularum, Megachile circumcincta, and M. Xantho- 

 melcena, Ccelionys conica, Apathus rupestris, &c. Of 

 the other Hymenoptera I can say nothing certain. Stylops 

 Dalit I have taken here, as I have before mentioned. 



I now come to the Lepidoptera ; and of the species of 

 this order which I have taken here I must give a full list, as 

 far as the Platypterycidce, and to this I shall append some 

 observations on certain species.
