5760 Insects. 



finely denticulate, very sparingly hairy, terminating- in a fine nail, their exterior bor- 

 ders slightly spinous. Second joint of external foot-jaws not shorter than a third 

 the length of animal. Locality, coralline zones, Dalkey and Bray. The character of 

 the first pair of legs at once separates this from all our native Galatheae ; in fact, they 

 are hardly distinguishable from the same limbs in Munida Rondeletii. The flattened 

 teeth (almost lobes) of the rostrum also afford a good distinctive character. The whole 

 animal is much flatter and smoother than any of the others. 



In naming this remarkable species, I have selected a name well known to British 

 naturalists for careful researches into the Botany and Zoology of the west coasts of 

 Ireland, that of William Andrews, M.R.I.A., the discoverer of Geomalacus maculosus, 

 and for many years past the active Honorary Secretary of the Dublin Natural History 

 Society. Specimens of the new species are deposited in the British Museum, the 

 Museum of the Royal Dublin Society and the Dublin Natural History Society. — 

 John Robert Kinahan ; Leonard Terrace, Donnybrook, August 8, 1857. 



Capture of Trochilium Allantiforme at Hungerford. — I have just added to my pri- 

 vate collection a very fine specimen of this exceedingly rare insect, captured near 

 Hungerford, in Berkshire. Possibly some of your readers could inform me the exact 

 number of specimens known of this insect. — James Gardner; 52, High Holborn, 

 London. 



Abraxas Ulmaria at Coombe Wood. — Mr. Canham having told me that near 

 Coombe Wood is a new locality for Abraxas Ulmaria, I forward you the particulars. 

 My specimen was taken on the 6th of June this year, at half-past 5 p.m., at rest, on 

 some palings on the road from Kingston to the wood, just before you come to the lodge 

 at the end of the road through the wood leading from the Maldon station. — Charles 

 E. Challis ; 2, Old Cambridge Terrace, South Lambeth, July 30, 1857.
