considered by him at the time to be CE. lurida, has only now 

 been identified as CE. virescens, a species widely distributed 

 on the Continent (" E. M. M." p. 64, 1903). 



Hydroponts bilineatus, Sturm., was similarly taken as H . 

 granulans in i8gi, by Mr, A. J. Chitty, F.E.S., but is now 

 identified by Mr. E. A. Waterhouse(" E. M. M.," p. 143, 1903). 



Tetr opium fuscum, Fabr., is described by Dr. Sharp 

 (" E. M. M.,"p. 198, 1903) from a specimen obtained by his 

 (laughter, Miss M. A. Sharp, by sweeping in the New Forest 

 in June last. A specimen of the same insect had been taken 

 at Betchworth in July, 1901, by Mr. Herman Saunders, and 

 identified by Mr. Champion, but not recorded at the time 

 because it was felt it might be but a casual introduction 

 ("E. M. M.," p. 228, 1903). 



Criocephalus polonicus, Motsch.,a Longicorn new to Britain, 

 was taken by Mr. H. Willoughby Ellis, and all the stages in 

 its life-history were exhibited by him at the Entom. Soc. 

 London. At the same meeting Mr. H. St. J. Donisthorpe 

 exhibited — 



Aphanisticus emarginatus, from Parkhurst Forest, as an 

 addition to our fauna. 



Then, I may add, as new to Ireland though not to Britain, 

 Soronia punctaiissinia, 111., which Mr. Turner has recorded, 

 in our " Proceedings " (p. 41), as among the spoils of our 

 joint visit to Co. Kilkenny in August, 1902. 



Hymenoptera. — Two species have been added to our list. 



Odyncrus {Hoplopus) siniillimus, Morawitz, a wasp, taken 

 near Colchester by Mr. W. H. Harvvood, is described by 

 Mr. Edward Saunders, F.R.S., in " E. M. M.," 1903, p. 6. 



Ammophila luffii, a species new to science, was taken by 

 Mr. Edward Saunders, F.R.S., at St. Ouen's Bay, Jersey, 

 in 1901, but not identified by him as a distinct species until 

 he again took it in 1903 (" E. M. M.," p. 247, 1903). 



DiPTERA. — Six additional species. 



Chama^syrphus lusitanicus, Mik., is a new syrphid fly taken 

 by Miss Allard at Boat o' Garten, Inverness-shire, in July, 

 1902, and since identified by Dr. Sharp (" E. M. M.," 1903, 



Pachygaster minutissimus, Zett., is a species and genus new 

 to Britain. It was taken at Wells by Mr. C. G. Lamb in 

 July, 1902, and has been identified by Dr. Sharp. In 1903, 

 whilst in the New Forest, Mr. Lamb and Miss Sharp 

 captured three examples of another species, which Dr. Sharp 

 believes to be a Neopachygaster, but is not yet quite satisfied 

 as to the exact species (" E. M. M.," 1903, p. 221).
