Claygate, some years since. To the Rev. Canon Fowler is due 

 the honour of describing the species, which he has named after an 

 old and much esteemed Coleopterist, the late Mr. W. Garneys 

 {^Ent. Mo. Mag., xxv. p. 333). 



A^iaspis melanostoma, Costa. This species, which is well known 

 on the Continent, has been added to our list on the strength of a 

 specimen found in Dr. Power's collection, taken at Darenth Wood, 

 June 3rd, i860 {Ent. Mo. Mag., xxv. p. 335). 



Having recorded the only two new Coleoptera, it would perhaps 

 be well to notice the capture of several rarities. 



Heptaulaciis villosus, Gyll. This rare little species of Scara- 

 bseidse fell to the nets of Mr. J. J. Walker and Dr. Sharp in some 

 profusion at Cobham Park, on the 20th of June last; while the 

 equally rare little Abrczus granulum was secured by Mr. J. J. 

 Walker on the same occasion {Ent. Mo. Mag., xxv. p. 359). 



Pentarthrum huttoni, Woll. This interesting species of Calan- 

 dridse was again taken from a white poplar in the neighbourhood of 

 Plymouth, by Mr. J. H. Keys in May last, he having previously met 

 with it in the same habitat in 1888 {Ent. Mo. Mag., xxv. p. 326). 



Medon piceus, Kr., and Actobiiis signaticornis, Rey., were taken 

 by Mr. Beaumont and myself from a heap of weeds and vegetable 

 refuse at Lewisham on May 19th {Ent. Mo. Mag., xxv. p. 364). 



Time will not permit me to refer to more species of Coleoptera, 

 especially as other orders have yet to be noticed. I am, therefore, 

 compelled to omit many other recorded captures of rarities in this 

 order and pass on to 



Diptera. 



Myopa polystigina, Rond. Our member Mr. Brunetti, records 

 the capture of two specimens of this species, which is new to the 

 British list, in an orchard at Painswick {Ent. Mo. Mag., xxv. p. 281). 



Syrphus excisus, Zett. This interesting species has been added 

 to our Hst on the strength of two males taken in July, 1887, and 

 one female in July, 1888, by another of our members Mr. Coryndon 

 Matthews, who captured them at Ivy Bridge, South Devon {Ent. 

 Mo. Mag., xxv. p. 379). 



Hyetodesia consobrina, Zett., added to our list by Dr. Meade, 

 from a specimen taken by Miss Prescott-Decie at Chagford, South 

 Devon, in May, 1888 {Ent. Mo. Mag., xxv. p. 395). 



Hyetodesia sudetica, Schnabl. New to the British list, and 

 described from two specimens captured by Dr. Meade at Baslow, 

 Derbyshire, July, 1887 {Ent. Mo. Mag., xxv. p. 396).
