Galeruca PUSILLA, Weise. Whitlingham, 14th June, 1875 
(Edwards) ; Catfield on Lythrum, Sept., 1910 
(Beare and Donisthorpe). 
Psylliodes CYANOPTERA, 111. Mr. Thouless took a single 
example of this very rare species at Thetford in 
August, 1912. 
The following notes relate to species already recorded as 
occurring in the county : — 
Carabus CLATHRATUS, L. In the Entomologists’ Monthly 
Magazine, Vol. L., pp. 97-103, there is an 
attempt to confute the record of the occurrence 
of this insect in England, wherein we are, in 
effect, asked to believe that neither Robert Scales, 
A. H. Haworth, Dr. W. E. Leach, nor Wm. 
Spence knew C. clathratus, L. The three 
latter were certainly competent entomologists, 
and Scales, a merchant turned farmer, was a 
Vice-president of the old Entomological Society 
of London, of which his brother-in-law Haworth 
was President. This society was founded in 1806 
in succession to the Entomological Society, 1805, 
and the older Aurelian Society, 1801. There is 
no reason to suppose that the true C. clathratus 
was not well known to the English entomologists 
of that day, and Haworth doubtless found it for 
the first time in England when on a visit to 
Scales at the latter’s then recently-acquired farm 
at Halvergate in April, 1809. It is certain that 
prior to November, 1810, Scales had given the 
insect to both Leach and Spence, whilst Kirby, 
in a letter dated 3rd May, 1811, thanked him for 
his intention to give him a specimen of it when 
he met with another (c./. antea, Vol. IV., pp. 
97-109). The writer of the attempted confutation
