14 MR. W. H. TUCK ON ACULEATE-HYMENOPTERA AT TOSTOCK. 
a hybernated specimen, as the males of this Bee do not, with 
the exception of S. rubicundus, appear until autumn. Neither 
Crabros nor Wasps were at all conspicuous this season. 
On July 18th I took a fine specimen of Sesia ichneuminiformis 
(the six-banded Clearwing) on a flower just outside Norton Wood, 
a very unusual locality for it to occur. 
The brilliant weather tempted me to make several excursions, 
one to Household Heath, which is a grand hunting-ground. Here 
I took the rare Hemipteron, Nabis hoops and the curious Aphanus 
pedestris. 
At Southwold, on the common, I found the rare and large 
Ichneumon vespoides, also many males of a Saw-fly, Athalia 
spinarum, which, under the name of the “ black jack,” caused 
the loss of thousands of acres of turnips, especially round Lowestoft, 
in 1859. 
At Bungay I took another good Saw-fly, Macrophya rustica, and 
at Tostock, Tenthredopsis flavomaculata and T. nigricollis. 
At Aldeburgh I noticed the large pentatomid Piezodorus 
lituratus on Furze and Tamarisk, and the pretty capsid Calocoris 
infusus on Oaks. 
On the sands, near Thorpe, I took a rare Dipteron, Actora 
cestuum sitting on a dead crab. This is new to our Suffolk list. 
Other good and striking Flies I had there were Pyroplnema ocymi 
and Baleoptera 3-punctata, while in the general list, during the 
season, I can record Stratiomys potamida, Criorrhyna oxyacanthas, 
Conops 4-fasciatus, Calliphora erythrocephala, and Eristalis ceneus. 
Among Coleoptera the family of Coccinella were unusually abundant, 
the best being Micraspis 12-punctata (Bungay), Coccinella 19- 
punctata (Aldeburgh), Halyzia 16-guttata, and Chilocorus bipus- 
tulatus. Prionus coriarius again turned up in old timber, and also 
Saperda carcharias, which, flying in the bright sunshine, might be 
well mistaken for a “ locust,” under which name it is known to the 
country folks in East Anglia.
