appear in the Annals Nat. Hist., of March last, and descriptions 

 of new species of PhasmidcB in the 'Annals' for June; also de- 

 scriptions of PhdsiitidcB and Mantidce from Australia and New 

 Britain in the 'Annals' for July. 



Several new species of Phasmidce are described and excellently 

 figured by Mr. Wood-Mason in the 'Journal of the Asiatic Society 

 of Bengal,' vol. xlvi., 1877. 



Neuroptera. 



Dr. Hagen has published a 4to report on the collections of 

 Neuroptera and Pseudo-Neuroptera made in portions of Colorado, 

 New Mexico, and Arizona. A large portion of the collection was 

 unfortunately destroyed by a railroad accident, so that only four 

 new species of different families are here described. 



Dr. Hagen has described a new genus and species, Sijmphrasis 

 signata, from California, belonging to the curious group of 

 Mantispides, to which new genus my M. myrapetrella is also 

 associated (Stettin Ent. Zeitung). 



A memoir on the habits of Einbia (a genus allied to the white 

 ants), by Mr. M'Lachlan, with an account of its nymph state, and 

 a description of four new species, one of which was found in 

 a hothouse, in London, among plants of Saccolobium relusum, 

 imported from India, is published in the ' Proceedings of the 

 Linnean Society.' 



An article by Dr. C. von Siebold, on the curious genus 

 Helicopsyche, one of the caddice-flies, the larvae of which 

 construct cases which had been mistaken for shells, and had been 

 so-called, appears in the 'Bolletino' of the Italian Entomological 

 Society (vol. viii.). 



Hymenoptera. 



Mr, P. Cameron has published a very serviceable series of notes 

 on the modes of collecting and studying the habits of the various 

 species of plant-feeding Hymenoptera {TenUiredi)iid(B and Cijni- 

 pida;), both in the perfect and preparatory states, and has added a 

 list of their food-plants, indicating those which are infested by 

 gall-makers or leaf-miners (Proc. Nat. Hist. Soc. Glasgow, 

 January, 1877). 



The same author has given descriptions of new genera and 

 species of Indian TenthredinidiB in the East Indian and British
