78 THE ENTOMOLOGIST ’S RECORD. 
Claude Morley, last September, a few notes on the results may be 
useful as an addendum to Mr. Morley’s Suffolk list. The weather was 
all that could be desired, and with the aid of bicycles we covered a 
considerable extent of ground. Iam greatly indebted to Mr. Morley’s 
able guidance for the chance of taking a number cf species new to me 
in a living state. I had the good fortune to capture three species new 
to the Suffolk list, vzz., Apion dissimile, Sphindus dubius, and E'nne- 
arthron cornutwn. The first-named was swept off its usual food-plant, 
Trifolium arvense, in a sandpit near the Foxhall plateau. I had had 
the pleasure of making the acquaintance of this Apion only the week 
before at Deal, on the same plant. The Sphindus and Mnnearthron, as 
well as Cis nitidus, were bred out of some fungus which I brought 
away with me. Mr. Morley also added a species new to the list in 
Trachyphloeus spinimanus, of which a single example turned up in a 
crag-pit. The following species also are noteworthy : Olibrus pygmaeus, 
not uncommon at roots of plants; Olzbrus liquidus, by sweeping, this 
has only occurred once before in the county; Nitidula rujsipes, several 
in the skeleton of a calf at Foxhall, rare in Suffolk; Nitidula quadri- 
pustulata, with the last ; Dermestes viulpinus, uncommon, and not pre- 
viously taken at Foxhall; Dacne huwmeralis, bred in some number from 
a large fungus, and new to the Ipswich district ; Phyllotreta consobrina, 
I swept a few of this in Bentley Woods, hitherto only taken at 
Brandon; Aphthona lutescens, not uncommon at Foxhall; Psylliodes 
affinis, | swept a specimen of this much suffused with black on the 
elytra; Mecinus circulatus, a single specimen in a crag-pit, which par- 
ticular pit, Mr. Morley tells me, is almost its sole habitat; Apion 
rubens, Bentley Woods; Apion varipes, not uncommon by sweeping ; 
Balaninus turbatus, one in Bentley Woods off hazel, of rare occurrence 
in the county; Gymmnetron melanarium, one in Bentley Woods, thus 
confirming the record of Stephens and Curtis as “ found in Suffolk ” ; 
it has not been taken since their time ; Ceuthorrhynchus melanostictus, off 
Mentha, at Foxhall, the pupa-cases are very pretty ; Amalus scortillum, 
abundant in a crag-pit.—B. Tomi, B.A., F.E.8., Stancliffe Hall, 
Matlock. 
AntHicus BimacuLatus, Inn.—I took four specimens of this rarity 
on May 38rd last at Pyle, in South Wales, on the sandhills. No two 
are quite alike, but they vary from the form shown in Fowler’s figure 
with a minute black dot to one with a regular black band across the 
elytra. It was an ideal day for sandtraps, with a steady wind blowing, 
and the following species were taken in the same way: Limonius 
eylindricus (abundant), Centhorrhynchus aspertfoliarum, Coeliodes fuligt- 
nosus, Choleva angustata, Hister neglectus, and Psammobius sulctcollis.—

How DOES THE EARWIG FOLD ITs wines ?—One eyening in the 
beginning of August last I boxed a specimen of Labia minor, and as 
it was extremely active, and continually flitting about, it gave one 
ample opportunity for observing the expanding and folding of its 
wings. I cannot confirm the statement of Rev. J. G. Wood (Insee ts at 
Home) that the forceps are used. I watched the operation not once 
but many times. The wings were shot out rapidly with a jerk, then
