MISCELLANEOUS NOTES AND OBSERVATIONS. 
In Coleoptera I had several good Inquilines. I opened up 
twenty-seven nests of Vespa vulgaris, and got from seven of them 
17 Metmcus paradoxus (1, 3, 4, 1, 4, 2, 2). 
From nests of Bombus latreillellus and lapidarius I took several 
of the rare Heterothrops, 4-punctula, and a large number of Epurma 
testiva. From Vespa rufa, Oxytelus sculpturatus and Cryptophagus 
setulosus ; from B. sylvarum, Anthicus antherinus and Carcinops 
minimus, the last new to Suffolk. From V. crabro, Oxypoda opaca ; 
from B. terrestris, Lathrobium boreale. From Fungi, I took in 
abundance the pretty Tetratoma fungorum ; also Ilomaiota liturata, 
a rare insect. 
In the general list I had Microglossa nidicola, Tacliyporus for- 
mosus, Silpha tristis, Telmatophilus caricis (on typha), Ptilinus 
pectinicornis, Pogonocherus dentatus, Apthona hilaris, and Tychius 
meliloti. 
Among the Diptera, the best thing I had was Pocota apiformis, 
a handsome Fly bred from a larva found in a Bee’s nest. Other 
good Flies were : Chrysonotus bipunctatus, Syrphus cinctellus, 
Actina tibialis, Xanthogramma. ornatum, Eristalis sepulchralis, 
Criorrhina floccosa, Chrysotoxum 8-maculatum, Nemorcea glabrata, 
Gonia ornata and Brachycoma devia. 
Mr. Claude Morley came over on August 4th, and although it 
was very hot and dry, he took by sweeping a new hemipteron for 
the Suffolk list, Macrotylus solitarius. I also took Sehirus bicolor 
(under bark), Berytus minor (in a Bee’s nest), Aradus depressus, 
and Nabis flavomarginatus (macroptcrous form). Also Issus 
coleoptratus (homopteron) in a nest of V. vulgaris , and Pediopsis 
tibialis by sweeping. — W. H. Tuck, Tostock.
