species of Termitina, of wbicli one belongs to Calofermes, a genus 

 not before recognized at ffiningen, while the others appear to belong 

 to a new type of wliite ants with closely crowded, branching, sub- 

 longitudinal veins in the anal area. There are also several species 

 of what is apparently a new generic type of Phryganidge. 



Two or three specimens of a Dragon Fly's wing occur (PI. VI. 

 Fig. 3) which I refer with little doubt to Agrion iris, Heer. They 

 show that I was correct in referring this species to Lestes (Tert. 

 Ins. p. 127), but an examination of these specimens shows that it 

 cannot be placed in any of the subgenera established by de Selys, 

 in his "Synopsis des Agrionines," 1862, but is strikingly different 

 from any of them, though apparently nearest Megalestes. The group, 

 which may be called Stenolestes (o-tgi/o?, Lestes) would be charac- 

 terized by the following features, which from the fragments preserved 

 must of necessity embrace onl}^ such as can be drawn from the 

 portion of the wing beyond and including the nodiis : Nodal sector 

 arising from the principal at about eight' cells beyond the nodus; 

 the intercalary ultranodal sector not at all angulate, but its general 

 course broadly sinuous ; all the other sectors straight, except when 

 ciu'Ved next the margin ; several intercalary sectors between the 

 nodal and the subnodal, man}' between the median and the sector 

 brevis and between the ultranodal and the nodal, but excepting at 

 extreme margin, only a single one between the subnodal and the 

 median sectors. There are about thirty postcubitals and the ptero- 

 stigma is elongate, about five times as long as broad, and surmounts 

 eight cellules, an exceptionally large number for a Lestes. 



Among the Hemiptera are several galls easily referable to Heer's 

 Fempliigus hursifex, but also two or three others which probabl}' or 

 pretty certainly represent the work of other plant lice. There are 

 several new Jassidse and Lygseidae. In the Coreidse Heer has recog- 

 nized (Mus. Corap. Zool.) another species of Syromastes and another 

 Ali/dus, and there are six or eight new species of this family in 

 Mr. Lacoe's collection. The Pentatomidse are the most numerous 

 group, and hei'e again Heer has recognized an additional species 

 each of Cydnopsis and of Pentntoma, while in Mr. Lacoe's collection 

 there are eleven species of Cydnopsis, of which five are new, and 

 there is an additional species perhaps referable to Eurydema. 



The Coleoptera are too numerous to mention in much detail, but 

 of genera among Curculionidse not before noted at CEningen I have 

 recognized Balaninus, Baris ? Cryptorliyuehus, Tychius, Bagous, Tany- 

 sphyrus, RhinocyJhis, Hylohiiis, and PiiiUhus; while Heer recogniz-s 

 Cioinis, Pkytonomiis, Hipporhinus, and Mypera, besides half a dozen 

 additional species of Cleonus and two each of Larinus and Sitonn ; 

 I have also referred several species each to Hipporhinus and 

 Sitona, and find new species of Phytonomus and Apion. Among 

 the Oliorhynchidae I am inclined to refer several species to 

 Oliorliynchus and one to Tanymeciis, while others appear to fall 

 in the neighbourhood of Aphrastus, Artipus, Ophryastes, Lipariis, 

 and EpiccBrus. Heer recognizes two additional species of Lytta 



1 It is at the most from three to five cells beyond the nodus in all modern types.
