LamophlcEus bimaeulatus, Payk. New Forest, August, I860. 



Oxylcenus variolosus, Duf. Taken by myself from rotten fungus grown on a stump 

 at Holme Bash, May, 1860. 



Hetcerius sesquicornis. Interesting as taken by myself from a new locality 

 (Weybridge), in the autumn (October, 1860), and from nests of F. rufa, instead of 

 those of F. fusca, as at the only other known locality, Hampslead. 



Leptinus testaceus. Near London, October, 1860. 



Batrisus venuslus. Near Croydon, under bark, October, 1860. 



Myceloporus punctus, Erich. Near London, October, 1860. 



Philonthus splendidulus, Erich. Scotland, 1860. Possibly sometimes confounded 

 with P. alerrimus, but easily distinguished by having only five thoracic punctures and 

 pale antennae. 



Platyderus dissectus. . Taken by the Rev. A. H. Matthews near Nottingham. 



Mr. M'Lachlan sent for exhibition a specimen of a new British species of 

 Phryganidae (Limnophilus borealis of Zetterstedt), identified from a specimen in the 

 foreign collection in the British Museum, from Dr. Hagen ; also an example of 

 Agrypnia Pagetaua {Curtis), taken originally near Yarmouth, and of which very few 

 British specimens are known. Both of these species were taken by Mr. Winter in the 

 Eanworth Fens. 



Mr. John Scott exhibited the following Coleoptera, recently captured by him- 

 self:— 



Leptinus testaceus. Taken in the London district. 



Myceloporus punctus. Ditto. 



Philonthus splendidulus. Under bark of oak, at Abergavenny. 



Omosita depressa. Under bark, at Crwmlyn. 



Mr. Stevens exhibited some spleudid Coleoptera, lately received from M. Mouhot, 

 captured by him in Cambodia; amongst them may be mentioned both sexes of 

 Baladeva Walkeri, first described and figured in the 'Transactions' of the Society, 

 and the female hitherto unknown; a magnificent new Buprestis, equal in size to the 

 largest known species of the family ; and a splendid smaller species, also new, and 

 both unique. Mr. Stevens also called attention to some fine new Longicorns and 

 Anthribidae in the collection. 



Mr. Janson exhibited the following Coleoptera, not previously recorded as natives 

 of Britain, viz. Bradycellus harpalinus, Dej., Mycetoporus angularis, Muls., and 

 Hylastes cunicularius (Knoch.), Eric. 



Mr. Janson also exhibited the nest of an Hymenopterous insect, apparently a 

 species of Pelopaeus, which had been found inside a grand piano-forte sent home 

 from Ceylon to Messrs. Collard & Co., for repairs. 



Mr. Waterhouse read a paper intituled " Notes on Chrysomelidse in the Linnean 

 and Banksian Collections." 



Mr. Walker read " Characters of undescribed Lepidoptera in the Collection of 

 W. Wilson Saunders, Esq." 



Part vii. of the current volume of the Society's ' Transactions ' was on the table. —
