measure account for the countless swarms of Aphides during" 

 the fine weather in September.' Since this was written swarms 

 of CoccinelHdce have succeeded the swarms of Aphides^ the one 

 probably being a natural sequence of the other. Not since 

 1884 have the two commonest species of Lady-birds, Adalia 

 biptinctata L. and Coccinella decem-punctata L., been sa 

 abundant. The following is a list of the more important 

 species observed during the year, to which are added a few 

 words on other species which call for notice.

Stenolophiis elegans Dej. This species must be deleted. The specimen so 

 recorded has been wrong-ly determined. It is 



t Acupalpus extguus Dej. var. luridus Dej. The character used to separate 

 Acupalpus from Stenolophus is apparently a somewhat variable one, 

 for the sing-le example of this species taken at Thorne Moor is a male. 

 Both the anterior and intermediate tarsi are dilated, and have their 

 penultimate joints deeply bilobed, in all which particulars they ag-ree
