Epp., and Homalota paradoxa, Rey., to the British list 

 (" E. M. M.," igo6, pp. 200, 201). Cardiophorus crichsoni, 

 Buyss., w-as taken b) T him in Lundy Island among grass

 collis, Mannh., from dead oak branches at Basildon (" Ent. 

 Record," 1906, p. 276). 



Mr. Donisthorpe has paid much attention to the beetles 

 inhabiting ants' nests, and to this we are indebted for the 

 addition of Dinarda pygmcea, Wasmann ("Ent. Record," 

 1906, p. 217), and Hydi-ochus nitidicollis, Muls., fell to his lot 

 while collecting in the river Meavy at Yelverton (" Ent. 

 Record," 1906, p. 133). He also reinstates Lomcchusa stnt- 

 mosa, ¥., from specimens that he took in an ant's nest at 

 Woking (" Ent. Record," 1906, p. 159). 



Carida ajfinis, Payk., is added by Dr. David Sharp from 

 specimens taken by Colonel Yerbury and Mr. C. G. Lamb in 

 fungus on old trees at Strath Spey, Banff (" E. M. M.," 1906, 

 p. 220) ; and Lathrobinm lavipcnnc, Heer., by Mr. W. E. Sharp, 

 from a single example that he took in a sand-pit near Oxted, 

 Surrey (" E. M. M.," 1906, p. 55). 



Hymenoptera also claims nine new British species, includ- 

 ing one new to science, namely Pseudiscobrachinm cardianum,oi 

 which Mr. Arthur J . Chitty took a single specimen in the nest of 

 an ant, Poncra contracta, Latr., at Charing, Kent, from which 

 he described the species (" E. M. M.," 1906, p. 148). One 

 species, Br aeon abcissor, Nees, is added by Mr. Claude Morley, 

 who swept a single specimen in Horning Fen (" E. M. M.," 

 1906, p. 109). And the Rev. F. D. Morice is responsible for 

 the remaining seven species, viz.: Amauroncmatus ampins, 

 Konow., A. lencolcnns, Zadd., A. vittatns, Lep., Lygaoncmatns 

 pint, Retz., L. saxeseni, Harh., Pachyncmatns zaddaclii, Konow., 

 and Pristiphora vividana, Konow. (" E. M. M.," 1906, pp. 135, 

 136, 207, 249). 



Neuroptera has two additions. The Trichopteron, 

 Tricrnodes rcntcri, McLach., is identified by Mr. Kenneth J. 

 Morton from specimens taken while investigating the fauna 

 of the River Laggan, near Aberfoyle (" E. M. M.," 1906, 

 p. 270). And the Psocid Rcntcrclla liclvimacnla, Ended., 

 by Mr. H. L. F. Guermonprez, from specimens taken by him- 

 self and Mr. Edward Saunders (" E. M. M.," 1906, p. 57). 



Diptera heads the list in point of numbers, no less than 

 eighteen new British species having been added, including 

 four new to science, viz.: Phova vitvea, Wood., P. Intcifcmorata, 

 Wood., P. snblngnbris, Wood., and P. domestica, Wood. (" E. 

 M. M.," 1906, pp. 191, 192, 262).
