A number of species have been made known and added to 

 the British Fauna during the year. Of these I note the 

 following : — 



Dicra?ioneura similis, and Typhlocyba salicola, two Hemipterons 

 new to Science, named and described by Mr. James Edwards. 

 (Ent. Mo. Mag., xxi. 229, 230.) 



Mr. R. H. Meade describes a new maritime fly (Ent. Mo. Mag., 

 xxii. 152), under the name of Ceratinostoma maritimum. This 

 Dipteron possesses some of the characteristics of species in the genus 

 Scatophaga, and some of those pertaining to the genus Cordylura ; 

 it was therefore found necessary to create a new genus for its reception. 



A Lepidoptero7i, new to Science, taken by Mr. George Coverdale 

 in the salt marshes near Shoeburyness, July, 1884, was named and 

 described by Mr. Stainton in the Ent. Mo. Mag., xxii. 9, under the 

 name of Coleophora paludicola. Lithocolletis anderidce, also new to 

 Science, bred in the spring from larva, found in the preceding 

 October. Named and described. (Ent. Mo. Mag., xxii. 40.) 



Two species of Lepidoptera are recorded as probably new to the 

 British Fauna by Mr. A. F. Griffith, Ent. Mo. Mag., xxii. 64. 

 These are named respectively Ornix fagivora and Nepticula nyland- 

 riella. The first bred in the spring from larva, found in autumn on 

 beech, and the last was found in some numbers on the trunks of 

 mountain-ash in Sutherlandshire, May. 



A Gelechia taken by Mr. Sang, amongst Artemisia maritinia, in 

 salt marshes, near Redcar in July, is described by Mr. Stainton, 

 under the name of Gelechia tetragonella. (Ent. Mo. Mag., xxii. 99.) 



Nepticula assi?nilella, a species new to Britain, was bred by Mr. 

 W. H. B. Fletcher, in June last, from larvae found in Sept. 1884,
