A visit to Wendover produced Ligdia adustata, two species of 

 Mupit/iecia, E. subumbrata and E. exiguata ; specimens of FJiiba- 

 lapteryx tersata and P. vitalhata. I had almost forgotten to record 

 Melanippe unangulata, two specimens of which were obtained close to 

 Amersham Common. The Deltoides were represented by a solitary 

 example of Zanclognafha barbalis, while only two species of Crambus 

 were found, C. hortuellus and C. pratellus. Scoparia diibitellus and 

 Scapula olivalis were abundant, and, with a specimen of Pionea forfi- 

 calis met with at Wendover, represent the Pyralides. Of the Ptero- 

 phori, the larv^ of Aciptilia galactodactyliis were, as usual in the 

 Chenies Wood, very common on the leaves of burdock. The follow- 

 ing is a list of Tortrices \—Ephippiphora bruimicheana, Sericoris 

 iirticana, Sciaphila subjectana, S. hybridana^ Spilonota si/ffusana, 

 Penthina pru?tiana, P. cynosbana, Pardia Iripunctana, Tortrix 

 ministrana, Ptycholoma lecheana, Stiginonota conposana^ Siimcthis 

 fabriciella, Phoxopteryx lundcuta, Dichrorampha plumbana, D. plum- 

 baga/ia, D. petiverella, Argyrotoza conwayana, and Xanthosetia 

 hamana. 



Among the Adelidse a few Adela viridella and A. degeerella were 

 captured, and at Wendover a colony of the beautiful A. sulzella was 

 met with, the males assembling around a few females which were 

 sitting on hawthorn leaves in the hot morning sunshine. A few 

 Eriocephala seppella were swept off flowers as representatives of the 

 Micropterygides. Among the Tine?e recognised were Gclechia terrella, 

 G. anthvilidella, G. scripfella, Gliphipteryx tripunciana^ Dasycera 

 siilpkurella, Lampronia quadripuiicta, CEcophora tripiinctana^ Scardia 

 cloacella, and Euicostoma lobelia. 



Next to the Lepidoptera the Coleoptera received most attention, 

 my younger son devoting his time mainly to sweeping the abundant 

 flowers and foliage of the lanes and path-sides. Most of the following 

 identifications have been very kindly made by Mr. West : — 

 Carabidte : Brachinus crepitans., which when captured continued to 

 give out the small clouds of smoke, Harpalus rtijlcornis, and //. a^neus. 

 Chrysomelidse : Gastroidea polygoni, Phyllotreta ochripes, and Chry- 

 soinela polita. Longicornes : Grammoptera. tabacicolor (in great 

 abundance on Umbelliferte), G. ruficornis, Clyliis arktis, and a single 

 specimen of Toxotus meridianus (on the stem of Scrophularia). 

 Coccinellid^ : Coccinella stpteinpunclala, Halyzia 22piiftclata, and 

 H. \ifPiinctaia. Staphylinidai : Quediiis fiilgidiis and Tacliyporus 

 solutus. Pyrrhochroidae : Four fine specimens of Pyrochroa 

 serraticornis. Rhyncophora : Polydrusus uniformis, Phyllobius pyri, 

 P. argeiiti/liis, Sitones suturalis, S. oiionidis, Clonus scrophulance, 

 C. pulchellus, C. blatlaricB, C. horiulanus, Cailiodes fullginosus, 

 C. quadrbnaculatus, Apion minimum, A. fagl, A. inl/ilatum, Hypera 

 variabilis., Anthonomus rubl, and Rhynchltes mlnutus. Elateridse : 

 Corymbltes holoserlceus, Athous kcemorrholdalls, A. vlttatus, Lacon 

 murlnus, Melanotus rufipes, Agrlotes pallldulus, Llmonlus mlnutus., 

 and Doloplus marglnatus. Telephorids : Generally common ; Tele-
