equally successful with the Diploptera, taking Sphecodes affinis, and 

 pilifrons, Andrena decorata ( $ ), and analis, Epeohcs variegafus, 

 Nomada roberjeotiana ( ? ), always one of our rarities, as well as the 

 pretty little Dipteron Anthrax fenestrata {Ent. Mo. Mag., xxv. 



P- 130- 



Mr. Enock, one of our own members, has also been very busy 

 amongst the Parasites of the Hessian Fly {Ceddomyia destructor, Say.), 

 having bred no less than ten distinct species from puparia, collected 

 by himself in various barley fields, and has recorded the same in a 

 most interesting note in the Entomologist {Entom., xxi. p. 202). 



Dipt era. 



Mr. R. H. Meade, describes two species of Diptera new to 

 science, i.e., Sarcophaga fidvicauda, Meade, from two $ taken 

 some years ago near Bicester, Oxfordshire, and a minute Cecid, 

 Diplosis fraxinella, Meade, which appears to be an inquiline 

 in the cauliflower ash gall, from which it was taken by Dr. Chapman, 

 in August, 1877. Mr. Meade also adds to our British list Theria 

 miiscaria, Meigen. We are again indebted to the energy of one of 

 our own members for the capture of this fine Muscid, Mr. Coryndon 

 Matthews, taking a single ? at Ivy Bridge, South Devon, in 1887. 

 Mr. Verrall also speaks of the capture of the rare Callicera cenea. 

 Fab., a ? , by thefRev. E. N.Bloomfield, at Guestling, near Hastings, 

 a specimen by the Rev. T. A. Marshall at Cornworthy, near 

 Totnes, and another by a Coleopterist, the locality of which cannot 

 be made out. This is the more to be regretted, as Mr. Verrall states 

 that in his experience of twenty-two years' collecting he never re- 

 members but one specimen of this rarity being taken {Ent. Mo. 

 Mag., xxv. pp. 27, 77, 186). 



Hemiptera. 



Mr. E. Saunders, has made two interesting additions to the 

 British list in this order. The first, Monanthia angnstata, H.-S., was 

 taken by sweeping at Cisbury, Worthing ; the second species Ambly- 

 tylus delicatus, Ferris, of which Mr. Saunders got both sexes, was 

 taken on Gnaphalium gerinaniciim, at Woking. Both these species 

 were exhibited at the Entomological Society's Meetings, June 6th, 

 and September 5th, 1888, respectively {Ent. Mo. Mag, xxv. pp. 34, 

 41, 78, 117). 



Chlamydatus flaveolus, Reut., is another addition to our British 

 species by Mr. James Edwards, who has taken it at the roots of
