pilipyga, a species described as new by Dr. J. Villeneuve just about a 

 year ago (Parasitology, vol. ix, No. 3, May 1917, p. 440). The only 

 specimens hitherto known are two males taken in Fi*ance (at llambouillet 

 and near Bordeaux respectively) and a female, presumably of the same 

 species, taken under the same circumstances as the Bordeaux male. 

 Professor Carr's examples were taken at Warsop, Notts, 28.viii.191o, 

 and Bulwell Park, Nottingham, 7.vi.l91G, respectively, and he has very 

 kindly agreed to my suggestion that the occurrence of the species in 

 Nottinghamshire should be published without delay. 



The following brief description, founded upon that of ViUeneuve, 

 may serve to distinguish C. pilipijga from C. hrassicae Bouche, with 

 w^hich it may be easily confounded. 



Size less thau tbat of C. hrassicne (length 6 mm.), general form and 

 cbaetotaxy identical ; coloration Hgliter, of a clearer ashy-grey, with the three 

 longitudinal thoracic stripes of a, pale broivn ; face whitish with dark reflections. 

 Abdomen with a narrow blackish median longitudinal stripe, but the incisures 

 not or scarcely darkened, while the bristles at the margins of the segments are 

 not quite so long ; the lobes of the 5th ventral segment are narrow, adpressed 

 to the ventral surface and slightly projecting when seen in profile, and furnished 

 with long vertical hairs whose appearance is quite characteristic of the male of 

 this species. The hind tarsi are appreciably longer than the corresponding 

 tibiae, while the latter are furnished on their anterior sides (antero-ventral as 

 well as postero-ventral) with a series of erect rigid setae, which, however, 

 are decidedly less numerous than in C brassicae. Lasth*, the hind femora are 

 clothed with short hairs beneath, without the tufted appearance so characteristic 

 of C. brassicae.

ON TWO NEW SPECIES OF CAMPODEA. 

 BT RICHAED S. BAGJfALL, F.L.S. 



Since publishing my notes on the British species of this genus I have 

 had the opportunity of examining two more new species which ma^^ now 

 be briefly diagnosed. They both fall into Section I, though the macro- 

 chaeta at each hind angle of the metanotum in C. meinerti mav be 

 regarded by some as an abnormally-developed minor seta, in which case 

 it would fall into Section 11. For all pi-actical purposes it should be 

 regarded as falling in the first section. 



Campodea meinerti, sp. n.* 



Length 3- 5-4 -2 mm. Antennae 22-23 segmented, about O'o the length 

 of body. Cerci 9-11 segmented, about 06 the length ot body ; somewhat as 



* Dedicated to the distinpuished Danish zoologist the late Dr. Fr. Meinert.
