agrimony ; lineolella, on black horehound leaves {Ballota nigra) ; and 

 ccespitetta, which has been feeding all the winter in a short whitish case, on 

 rush seeds. The only other species I have room for mention are Batrachedra 

 pmangustella, which unites leaves of poplar and willows ; Elachista ceru- 

 sella, in carex leaves ; and pollinariella, in slender false broom grass leaves. 

 I am reluctantly compelled to omit all mention of the imagines, both tortricine 

 and tineine. Some of the larvse I have left out were feeding, in a young 

 state last month, and I mentioned them then. 



REPORTS OF SOCIETIES. 

 ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY OE LONDON. 



April 7, 1886. — Robert M'Lachlan, E.R.S., President, in the chair. 



The following were elected Eellows, viz. : — Messrs. Edward Capron, M.D., 

 J. W. Ellis, L.R.C.P., E. D. Wheeler, M.A., J. B. Bridgman, E.L.S., T. D. 

 Gibson-Carmichael, E.L.S., J. Rhodes, F.R.M.S., A. C. Horner, J. T. Harris, 

 Evan John, Martin Jacoby, J. A. Clark, G. Elisha, and A. Sidney Olliff. 



Mr. Crowley exhibited a number of Lepidoptera, including a long series of 

 species belonging to the genus Rhomalceosoma, containing many unusual forms, 

 lately received from Accra, West Africa ; also, from the same locality, about 

 sixteen species of the genus Cliaraxes in remarkably fine condition, and repre- 

 sented by specimens of both sexes. He also exhibited a number of large 

 specimens of Satumia from Natal, and several unknown species of other genera. 



The Rev. W. W. Eowler exhibited four beetles belonging to the family 

 Carabidce. Three of them had been taken twenty years ago on the banks of 

 the Clyde, and had lately been identified as Anehomenus salilbergi (Chaud.), 

 a species new to Europe, having hitherto only been found in Siberia. The 

 remaining specimen was Anehomenus archangelicus (Sahib.), a North European 

 species nearly related to A, sahlbergi, but easily distinguishable therefrom by 

 the greater depth of the strise of the elytra. 



Mr. J. W. Slater exhibited, on behalf of Mr Mutch, a spider belonging to 

 the genus Galeodes, and a Lamellicorn beetle belonging to the genus Cetonia, 

 which was at first supposed to be a monstrosity, but was afterwards found to 

 owe its unusual appearance to the right elytron having been broken off and 

 fixed on in reversed position. He also exhibited an undetermined species of 

 a beetle belonging to the family Curculionidte. 



Mr. Biilups exhibited a specimen of Bassus bizonarius, an ichneumon new 

 to Britain, taken at Peckham in May, 1885 ; also a number of specimens of 

 another parasite, Dimeris mira (Ruthe), taken in Headley Lane, Surrey, in 

 March last,
