48 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



EECENT LITERATURE. 



1. The Annals of Scottish Natural History. Edinburgh, 1910. 



Perhaps a somewhat greater amount of entomological matter 

 appears in this volume than in the last. The papers and notes are : — 

 Scottish Phoridae [Diptera] , with Tables of all the British Species, 

 and Notes on Localities (J. R. Malloch) ; Ornitliobius cygni [Mallo- 

 phaga] , a Swan Parasite at Port-AUen-on-Tay (J. Waterston, B.Sc.) ; 

 OrnitJiobius goniopleiirus on Barnacle Goose (W. Evans); Aquatic 

 Coleoptera of the Mid-Ebudes (F. B. Browne, M.A.) ; Further Notes 

 on Nocturnal Hymenoptera (P. Cameron) ; On the Scottish Species 

 of Oxyura (Proctotrypidae), pts. iv. and v. (P. Cameron) ; Insect 

 Fauna of Grouse Moors (P. H. Grimshaw) ; Nyssia zonaria in the 

 Outer Hebrides (P. H. Grimshaw) ; Scottish Dragonfly Records 

 (W. J. Lucas, B.A.) ; Notes on Siphonaptera (W. Evans) ; Some 

 Terrestrial Invertebrates from Fair Isle (W. Evans) ; Insect Visitors 

 of Fiimaria officinalis (S. E. Brock). 



2. Monographia cle los Nemopteridos {Insectos neuropteros). [Me- 



moi-ias de la Real Academia de Ciencias y Artes de Barcelona.] 

 By R. P. Longings Navas, S.J. Barcelona, July, 1910. 

 Those who take an interest in the Neuroptera will welcome this 

 monograph of one of the most peculiar divisions of the order — -insects 

 with hind wings narrowed into the form of tails, often with one or 

 more dilatations in their length. The article of seventy pages on 

 large paper has a coloured plate, and twenty-four illustrations in the 

 text. It is perhaps a misfortune for British naturalists that it is 

 written in Spanish. Most of the forty-four species belong to 

 Africa ; five only are European, none unfortunately being British. 



Other recent papers by the same author are : —

 Ins. Catal. Hist. Nat.)

 The only contact with entomology is of course in connection with 

 the cause of malarial diseases. Mosquitoes, therefore, figure largely 

 in the part before us. 



5. Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz. Ano 1910, Tomo ii. Fas- 



cicule 1. Rio de Janeiro, 1909. 

 A beautifully illustrated periodical ; but this part deals with 

 animals much lower than insects.
