CORRECTIONS AND NOTES. 



Vol. XXV, p. 3o8.— Forficula puliescens, Gene. With regard to this earwig, Mr. 

 C. W. Dale has kindly drawn my attention to an old record by his father of which I 

 had been ignorant. In " The Weekly Entomologist," vol. ii, Feb. 21st, 1863, p. 11, 

 the late Mr. J. C. Dale mentioned that Forf. pubescens, Gene, had been taken in 

 great plenty on the sea coast at Charmouth, and near Weymouth, in August and 

 I September. There is no description, and though the form of Mr. Dale's note sug- 

 gests that it was not the first time he had referred to the species, I cannot find any 

 previous notice of it. 



p. 366, line 3 from bottom — for " pronotum," read " abdomen." 



p. 367, line 10 from bottom — for " F. ericetorum, var. nigripes," read " E. 

 Fanzeri, var. nigripes.^' 



p. 369, lines 17 and 18 — The Cornish specimens of Ect. Panzeri, var. nigripes, 

 which Mr. Porritt gave me were not as I supposed taken by him, but by Mr. James 

 Eardley Mason, of Alford, who tells me that the exact locality was not Lelant but 

 the adjacent Hayle towans, amongst wild thyme tufts. Mr. Mason kindly sent me 

 the rest of his Hayle specimens, and also some he took at Tresco (Scilly Islands) in 

 September, 1888, but all these are of the ordinary British form of Ect. Panzeri. 



Vol. xxvi, p. 58, line 13 from bottom — " The peculiar characteristic of Phaner- 

 optera," &c., for " Phaneroptera," read " Leptophges." 



p. 58, between lines 1 and 2 from bottom — insert Acrida Standishii (Dale MS.), 

 Curtis, Guide Arr. Brit. Ins., cd. i, p. 67. 



This seems to have been a manuscript name which the late Mr. J. C. Dale 

 wished to give to the brown autumnal form of L. punctatissima, Bosc, and which 

 Curtis inserted in his "Guide," intending to describe later, but subsequently 

 abandoned. In the British Museum there is a copy of the " Guide " formerly be- 

 longing, I believe, to Mr. J. C. Dale, in which, opposite d. Standishii, is written 

 (probably by Dale), "Glanvilles Wootton, Portland (B. S.)." The " B. S." most 

 likely is for Benjamin Standish, after whom Dale wished to name the insect.
