42 Yorkshire Naturalists’ Union: Annual Report. 1914. 
recorded for the county. The members of this genus, together 
with their inquilines, are now fairly well represented. 
Judging by the experience of correspondents the season does 
not appear to have proved favourable for Aculeates. 
Two saw-flies and two ichneumons from near Keighley are 
new additions, while several species have been found in fresh 
localities. 
A few additions have been made to Diptera, Chrysotoxum 
aycuatum L., being the most noteworthy. The season has not 
been unfavourable for the Syrphidz generally. 
The new species have been identified or confirmed by the 
Committee’s referees to whom grateful thanks are due. 
NEUROPTERA AND ORTHOPTERA.—Mr. G. T. Porritt writes :— 
The only items of interest relating to the Neuroptera of Yorkshire 
during the present season are the captures of Taentopteryx 
trifasciata on the river at Knaresborough on April 11th and 
13th, and of Nemoura inconspicua at Filey on June Ist, both 
common, and both new to the county. On August 8th I took 
H emerobius nervosus in the old Black Fir wood at Farnley Tyas, 
Huddersfield, previously only recorded from the York district in 
our county. 
In Orthoptera, Dr. H. H. Corbett sent me, on January 24th, 
a specimen of Phyllodromia germanica which he said was then 
swarming In a house at Doncaster. 
ARACHNIDA.—Mr. W. Falconer writes :—The results of the 
season’s work, though not so extensive as usual, are no less 
interesting and important than in previous years. Three species 
of spiders have been added to the county list : two—rare in 
Britain—by Mr. J. W. H. Harrison, Cnephalocotes ambiguus 
Camb. (communicated by the Rev. J. E. Hull), and Ceratinella 
scabrosa Camb., both sexes, in Cleveland; and one, which is, 
however, much commoner further south, by the Rev. R. A. 
Taylor, Xvysticus pint Hahn., an adult9, near Scarborough ; 
while Porrhomma egerta Sim. 9, Raincliff Woods (R.A.T.), a rare 
spider, is new to the North Riding; and Lessertia dentichelis 
Sim (Corypheus simplex F.O.P.Cb.), Wrenthorpe (Mr. Johnstone), 
and Av@oncus humilis Bl. (W.F.), usually a common and widely 
distributed form, Thorner and Mirfield, are new to the West 
Riding. 
‘The false-scorpion, Chernes nodosus Schr., has again been 
met with in Bradford on the cover of a book (Mr. A. Haigh- 
Lumby). 
More attention has been given to mites, especially Oribatids, 
by Messrs. Harrison, Winter and myself, and several additions 
made to the list given in The Naturalist last March. These 
have been mainly identified by Dr. George and Rev. J. E. Hull, 
the latter also communicating the names of mites obtained
