AIr. L. W. DiLLWYN first found the two specimens of 

 this new insect, one evening in May 1S03, on the Crumlyn 

 Burrows about three miles from Swansea. One of these 

 specimens was accidentally lost, but my son G. B. Sowerbv 

 had the good fortune to find another next morning. These 

 are all that have been taken of this beautiful insect, that we 

 know of, in Great Britain.
