AcANTHIDiE. 
Acanthia lectularia. Linn. Difficult to meet with, hut doubtless 
common. 
„ PiPiSTRELLi. Jen. Concerning this species Lord 
Walsingham writes: “About twelve years 
ago, at Merton Hall, the ceiling was removed 
in order to remove a colony of Bats which had 
for many years occupied the spaces between the 
rafters, having obtained access from the outside. 
There was an immense accumulation of the 
dung of these Bats, and on examination I found 
in it larvae of some Coleoptera, and two specimens 
of a Cirnex (f) Acanthia (not lectularia) which 
was probably the rare A. pipistrelU. I had no 
doubt about the species at the time, but put 
the specimens aside in the hope that I might 
meet with some Hemipterist who might care to 
possess them. I am unable to say where they 
are, and it is not pu’obable that I can find them.” 
I may add that I had some further correspon- 
dence with his Lordship upon the subject, the 
result of which was to leave no doubt in my 
mind that his insects were really A. pipistrelli. 
CERATOCOMBIDiE. 
Ceratocombus coleoptratus. Zett. Moss, dead leaves, &c. ; scarce. 
Eeduviid^. 
I^LOIARIxV VAGABUNDA. XjIIHI, Oil I'll’ trC6S. 
„ cuLiciFORMis. De G. A few examples have been taken 
crawling on the walls of a counting-house in 
Norwich. 
Eeduvius personates. Linn. Occasionally found flying in the 
vicinity of fowls’ houses in the evening. 
CoRANus suBAPTERus. De G. Said to be found under Erodium. 
All my specimens are from Mr. F. Norgate.
