punctured, covered with short brownish hairs: scutellum the same colour as the 
head, punctured. Elytra deep ochreous-yellow, darker at the apex of the corium 
and cuneus, punctured, covered with fine brownish hairs; membrane dusky, with 
a lighter spot below the cuneus. Legs orange-yellow ; femora spotted with 
brown at the apex in the fore and middle legs, and with two narrow reddish bands 
on the posterior pair; tibize generally with two reddish bands on each; tarsi with 
their apical joints brown, beneath orange-yellow. 
2 lighter in colour, the callosites of the thorax scarcely marked with brown, 
and the elytra almost concolorous throughout. Length, 5 millim. 
For the discovery of this species, which also adds a new genus to the British 
list, we are indebted to Dr. Power, who found it in some abundance near Wey- 
bridge. I have subsequently taken it pretty commonly in two localities near 
Reigate ; it lives on the Scotch fir. 
Salda arenicola, Scholtz. 
I have recently taken several specimens of this species, which is another 
addition to our fauna, on the moist parts of the cliffs to the east of Bournemouth. 
I do not describe it, as I understand Messrs. Douglas and Scott have already a 
description drawn out from a single specimen obtained elsewhere, and which I hope 
will soon be published.—Epwarp Saunpbers, Hillfield, Reigate, 10th November, 1870. 
Capture of Lamproplam Sharpi, D. ¥ S. (? Megalonotus piceus, Flor), in the 
south of England.—In a marshy place near Wimbledon, when hunting for Coleoptera 
at the end of last September, I captured a specimen of a Drymoid bug, the facies 
of which was quite unknown to me. This insect my friend Mr. Scott tells me 
is Lamproplax Sharpi, hitherto only recorded from Dumfries-shire, where three 
specimens of it were taken by the gentleman after whom it was named.—E. C. Ryn, 
10, Lower Park Fields, Putney, November, 1870. 
Stenocephalus agilis in South Wales.—I went out last Thursday, the 13th inst., 
to look for Hemiptera for the first time, and had the pleasure of finding Stenocephalus 
agilis so common at the roots of mat-grass on the sand-hills here, that I captured 
over a dozen in half-an-hour: it seemed to be more attached to the grass than to 
spurge, as it was scarce at roots of the latter; I also took one Therapha hyoscyamé 
and some common Hemiptera, but I looked in vain for S. neglectus. I shall be glad to 
give S. agilis to any collector of Hemiptera who may want it.—EDWIN RopEeR CURZON, 
Shortlands, Newton Bridgend, August 15th, 1870. 
Andricus inflator, Hartig, occurring in Britain.—Of the Cynipideous genus 
Andricus, the Rev. T. A. Marshall has described three British species in Vol. iv of 
this Magazine (p. 101, 102), namely, A. trilineatus, noduli, and moniliatus, to which 
I have added a fourth, A. curvator (ante p. 39). In reference to the last, my 
friend Mr. Kidd desires me to state, that he does not wish to designate its gall 
as “kidney-shaped,” but simply as the “kidney-gall,’ and I feel certain nobody 
will object to this simplifying of the term. 
A fifth species, which I can now confidently record as British, is Andricus 
inflator, Hartig, the gall of which has been figured by Malpighi, in his ‘‘ Opera 
omnia,” tab. 12, fig. 40, i. and n., whilst Hartig has described the imago in 
_ Germar’s Zeitschrift,” Vol. ii, p. 191, as follows :—“ A. inflator: niger; antennis
