3854 THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S RECORD. 
81st (Thompson), Bridgwater, three seen (Corder), Stutton Hall, 
September 4th (Nash), Merton, September 6th (Durrant), near 
Dunmoy, one taken another seen, September 20th (Ruffel). 
At the meeting of the Entomological Society of London, held on 
October 17th, 1900, Mr. A. J. Scollick exhibited a specimen of 
Cethosia cyane, a species confined to India and the Malayan region, 
which had been taken this year on the wing near Norwich. It was 
suggested by Mr. Distant that this was a case of accidental importa- 
tion, probably in the pupal condition. 
At the same meeting Mr. H. Rowland-Brown exhibited specimens 
of E'rebia glacialis, taken this year on the Stelvio pass, showing 
transitional forms to the var. alecto. He said that the typical form 
and the variety were not found flying together, but on opposite sides 
of the valley. Dr. Chapman observed that the darker specimens 
approached to the form of H. glacialis, formerly known as melas, found 
in the neighbourhood of Campiglio. Specimens of EH. glacialis also 
exhibited from Saas Fée and Evolena showed marked inferiority in 
size and brilliancy of colour. 
Dr. Sharp records (Ent. Mo. Mag.) the capture of a new British 
dipteron, Leucophenga (Drosophila) maculata, Duf. The species has ‘‘the 
head between the eyes pure white; the thorax varies in colour according 
to the light—in some positions it appears to be brilliant white, and in 
others of a leaden hue; there is a pure white stripe on each side 
between the wing and the eye; the abdomen is pallid but each segment 
is marked with large black spots; the legs pale yellow.” Mr. Grim- 
shaw records the capture (by Mr. Ord, at Strathblane, on June 19th, 
1899) of another new species, Hyetodesia aculeipes, Zett., easily dis- 
tinguished from all other British Anthomyids ‘‘by the remarkable 
appendage with which the hind tibia of the male is furnished.” 
In La Feuille des jeunes naturalistes, November, 1900, pp. 12-17, 
M. Oberthiir has a most interesting article ‘‘ Variations des Lépidop- 
téres dela Faune anglaise,’ with two plates. The author curiously 
understates the number of British students of the Palearctic fauna— 
Mrs. Nicholl, Miss Fountaine, Drs. Chapman and Lang, Messrs. 
Brown, Jones, Buckmaster, Kane, Lemann, Nicholson, Leech, Lowe, 
Postans, Merrifield, &c., should surely be added to those mentioned. 
In the Ent. Mo. May. for November, Dr. Sharp in recording 
Coleoptera collected by N. Annandale, Esq., in the Faroé Islands and 
Iceland describes a new species of Bembidium, B. islandicum, from the 
latter locality. In the same number Dr. Cameron records the re- 
occurrence of Actocharis readingi at Plymouth, in the same spot where 
Trogoyhloeus anglicanus was captured. 
Mr. Edwards notes (Hnt. Mo. May.) two Hemiptera not hitherto 
recorded as British, viz., Typhlocyba cruentata, H.-Sch., taken in August 
last by Mr. E. Saunders on an old paling under sycamore trees at 
Clandon. (2) Typhlocyba candidula, Kirschb., found by Mr. W. West 
on white poplars at Blackheath, Lewisham, Lee, and Brockley. The 
Rey. Canon W. W. Fowler, adds Orochares angustatus, Er., to the 
British list. Its inclusion is based on a single insect taken by Piffard 
about twelve years ago, in November, hybernating at the roots of rushes 
in a disused clay pit at Bennett’s End, Liverstock Green, Herts. It 
was at the time of capture verified by Mr. O. Janson but not recorded. 
Mr. Beaumont records a Braconid new to the British list, viz., Blacus 
armatulus, Ruth., taken at Appledore.
