SAMOUELLE S 



Inhabits beneath the bark of the oak, where it 

 is concealed in a white cottony substance with 

 which trie insect is covered. It was first discovered 

 in 1S1/" by Mr. Daniel Bydder, who took it in the 

 New Forest of Hampshire where it is not uncommon. 

 It has also been found on a flower near Westerham, 

 Kent, by Mr. Ingpen. Mr. Dilhvyn in his list of 

 Insects found in the neighbourhood of Swansea, says 

 " taken under the bark of an oak near Danyeraig, 

 by Mr. Millard, and also under bark in Cline Wood." 

 Our specimens we captured in the month of June, 

 beneath the bark of oak trees near Brockenburst, in 

 the New Forest.
