458 THE ZOOLOGIST. 
A communication was read from Mr. Scott B. Wilson, in which were 
given the descriptions of four new species of Hawaiian birds, proposed to be 
called Chrysometridops c@ruleirostris, Loxops flammea, Himatione montana, 
and H. stejnegeri.—P. L. Sciater, Secretary. 
Entomotoaicat Society oF Lonpon. 
November 6, 1889.—Prof. J. O. Westwoop, M.A., F.L.S., Hon. Life- 
President, in the chair. 
Mr. Richard S. Standen, of Framlingham Earl Hall, Norwich, was 
elected a Fellow; and the Rev. C. F. Thornewill, M.A., was admitted into 
the Society. 
Mr. J. W. Douglas sent for exhibition specimens of Anthocoris visci, 
Dougl., a new species, taken from mistletoe, at Hereford, in the end of 
September last by Dr.T. A. Chapman; also specimens of Psylla visci, Curtis, 
taken by Dr. Chapman from mistletoe, at the same time and place. 
Mr. R. M‘Lachlan exhibited coloured drawings of a specimen of Zygana 
filipendule, in which the left posterior leg is replaced by a fully-developed 
wing, similar to an ordinary hind wing, and with the neuration almost 
precisely the same, but less densely clothed with scales. The specimen was 
described by Mr. N. M. Richardson in the Ent. Mo. Mag. for June, 1889, 
and the drawing was executed by Mrs. Richardson. Mr. M‘Lachlan also 
exhibited a female specimen of the common earwig Forficula auricularia, 
with a parasitic Gordius emerging from between the metathorax and 
abdomen. He said that it had been placed in his hands by Mr. A. B. 
Farn, by whom it was taken, and that other instances of similar parasitism 
by Gordius on earwigs had been recorded. 
Mr. W. F. Kirby exhibited a gynandromorphous specimen of Lycena 
icarus, having the characters of a male in the right wings and the characters 
of a female in the left wings, caught by Mr. T. Brown at Keyingham, York- 
shire, on the 22nd of June last; also a specimen of a variety of Crabro 
interruptus, De Geer, found by Mr. F. Woodbridge in a hole in a log at 
Uxbridge. 
Mr. W. L. Distant exhibited a male and female specimen of a species 
belonging to a new genus of Discocephalina, from Guatemala, in which the 
sexes were totally dissimilar, the female having abbreviated membranes, 
and being altogether larger than the male. 
Dr. D. Sharp stated that he had observed that in the Ipsine division of 
Nitidulide there was present a stridulating organ in a position in which he 
had not noticed it in any other Coleoptera—viz. on the summit of the back 
of the head. He had found it to exist not only in the species of Ips and 
Cryptarcha, but also in other genera of the subfamily; on the other hand, 
he could not find any trace of its existence, except in members of the Lpsine.
