vinula in which the hind wings were uniiPually hyaline, and a Toxocampa 

 pasti7ium from Coulsdon. Mr. Moore, butterflies from Florida, including 

 Heliconius charitonia, Thecla acts, Lycaena hanno, Papilio cresphontes, Anosia 

 berenice, Dione vanillae, Jtmonia coenia, Limenitis Jloridensis, L. disippus, 

 Pi/rameis atalanta, &c., and discussed the distribution of the various species. 

 Mr. A. Sich read a paper discussing the aberration of Lampronia quadripunctella 

 and naming two recurrent forms. Mr. Edwards discussed the devastation caused 

 by Phylluxera vastatrix to the vine, Myelophilus piniperda to the pine, and 

 Doryphora decemlineata to the potato, illustrating his remarks with a series of 

 large diagrams — Hy. J. Turnkk, Hon. Kditor of Proceedings.

Acylophorus Jlavicornis, n. sp. 



Black, shining, posterior margins of the abdominal segments pitchy ; head 

 small, subtriangular, the vertex bipunctate ; antennae rather short, entirely 

 testaceous ; legs reddish-testaceous. Length scarcely 5 mm. Head small, a 

 little longer than broad, subtriangular ; vertex with two approximate and 

 moderately large punctures, one on either side of the middle line; temples 

 with one or two small setiferoiis punctures. Antennae with the 1st joint fully 

 as long as the four succeeding joints united, the 2nd to the 5th longer than 

 broad, decreasing in length, the 6th and 7th about as long as broad, the 8th to 

 the 10th about half as wide again as long, the 11th small, scarcely longer than 

 the 10th. Thorax moderately transverse, narrower in front, the anterior angles 

 bluntly rectangular, the sides moderately rounded, passing insensibly into the 

 base ; disc with a pair of punctures on either side of the middle line, one or 

 two very fine ones behind the anterior angles, and six along the posterior 

 margin ; the sides setiferous. Scutellum punctured and pubescent. Elytra 

 about as long and as wide as the thorax, transverse, with rather coarse, close, 

 rugulose puncturation and stiff greyish pubescence ; the sides with a few fine 

 setae. Abdomen slightly iridescent, moderately coarsely and closely punc- 

 tured throughout; pubescence long, stifl', and greyish.

Acylopliorus maculicomis, n. sp. 



Black, shining ; head small, elongate ; posterior margins of the elytra and 

 the abdominal segments obscurely pitchy ; fourth joint of the antennae black, 

 the others yellowish-red ; legs reddish-testaceous. Length 2-8 mm. A small 

 species, with narrow head, doubtless closely allied to A. microcei'os Fauv., from 

 Burma. Head narrow, elongate, subtriangular, impunctate, the eyes small 

 and flat. Antennae short, the 2nd joint equal to the three following joints 

 together, the 3rd a little longer than broad, the 4th and 5th square, the 6th to 

 the 10th transverse, gradually increasing in breadth, the 11th short, oval.
