the larger red ants, although I have no doubt some of them are to 
be found in the county. That one species did exist in this county, I 
have positive proof, for in an old diary of the late Mr. R Wigliam, 
of this city, is tho folloaving entry, dated August 13th, 1823 : 
“ Formica herculanca , Felthorpe,” but which of our species is meant, 
it is now impossible to say ; it certainly was not the one named, 
as that is not a British species, although placed in this list. 
Tho nomenclature 1 have used for the Chrysidida is that 
adopted in the Entomological Society’s list, compiled by the 
Eev. T. A. Marshall. For the Foesorcs I have taken that of tho 
above-mentioned Society’s list, compiled by Mr. F. Smith, and in 
somo few instances that of Thomson, in tom. iii., ‘ Hymenoptera 
Scandinayiee ; ’ and for the Bees that adopted by Mr. Smith in 
the second edition of the ‘Museum Catalogue of British Hymen- 
optera.’ Part I. Bees. 
In conclusion, I can only add, that I believe this list might be 
much enlarged if other parts of the county were properly worked; 
this I hope will yet be done by some other entomologist. 
CIIRYSIDID/E. 
Cleptides. 
Cleptes semiauratus. Lin. ^Norwich, common in July, running 
about the leaves of plants. Yarmouth, Faget. 
„ nitidulus. Fab. This rare species is noticed in 
Curtis’s ‘Entomology’ as “Taken by Mr. Paget on 
sand hills at Yarmouth in June.” In the above 
work there is a good description of the male, which 
is wanting in Mr. Smith’s monograph of this 
family, in the ‘Entomologist’s Annual,’ for 1862. 
I have found the species in tolerable abundance 
running amongst the short grass on the sands 
between the rifle butts and the Aquarium at Yar- 
mouth, in August. 
Ellampides. 
Ellampus fanzeiu. Fab. Eaton and Mousehold, three specimens 
in tho middle of August, 1875, from flowers. 
Homalus auratus. Lin. ) Common from the end of May, 
,, cosruleus. Geer. • and during the summer.
