Epiirea nana was taken by sweeping herbage in the neigh- 

 bourhood of Thorpe-le-Soken, Essex, at the end of August. 

 Mr. Champion, who records this species, says that it is 

 smaller than its nearest ally, E. melina, Er. Mr. Champion 

 also informs Coleopterists that Palorns depressiis, Fabr., does 

 not occur in this country ; but that the British specimens 

 we have been in the habit of referring to that species are 

 really either P. ratzehurgi or P. stibdepressus, both of which 

 occur here in granaries, bakehouses, etc. ; but the last 

 named is the least abundant. Mr. Blatch discovered 

 Quedius riparins, in March last, at Porlock, and he suggests 

 that this British novelty may probably occur on the margins 

 of quick-flowing streams throughout the Exmoor district. 

 A species of Amara, previously supposed to be a form of 

 A. spreta, Dej., proves to be A. fanielica, and therefore an 

 addition to the British list. It occurs at Woking and 

 Cobham, and is found in autumn and spring in sandy 

 places or heaths. Mr. Champion, who brings forward the 

 last-named species, also calls attention to the fact that the 

 insect known in England as Anisodactylus [Harpalus) atri- 

 cornis, Steph., is not a form of A. binotatus, but a variety of 

 A. nemorivagns. 



By sweeping rushes at Blackroot Pool, Sutton Park, in 

 June, Mr. Bradley secured Pogonota hircns, a Dipteron new to 

 our list ; and Mr. Moseley, while brushing for Coleoptera in 

 May, obtained Xysta cana, also an addition to British Diptera. 



In Hemiptera we have two Coccids, introduced by Mr. 

 Newstead, one of which is new to science. Two species are 

 also added to the British Hymenoptera, viz. Hedychridinm 

 integrum, previously confounded in Britain with H. ardens, 

 Coq. (= mimUnm, Lep.) ; and Chrysis osmicE, also hitherto 

 mixed up with allied species. 



Mr. Barrett introduces a Leucania, which he considers to 

 be new to science, and bestows upon it the name favicolor. 

 A male and three female specimens were obtained by Mr. 

 Mathew on the Suffolk and Essex coast in July. In a
