40 Yorkshire Naturalists' Union: Annual Report, 1932. 
an uncommon one. In Goredale, also during August, Temnostethus 
pusillus H. S., and a species of Deltocephalus not yet identified with any of 
our local forms, were obtained. Lygus rubricatus Fall, and Atractotomus 
magnicornis Fall., were plentiful on Scots Pine at Winterburn, where 
also occurred Lygus cervinus H . S . , and Orthotylus viridinervis Kb. The 
Scale-insect, Lecanium capreae (L.), was noted on hawthorn at Sedbergh. 
Deltocephalus sabulicola Curt, is reported by Mr. M. L. Thompson from 
the north-east coast. 
Neuroptera (J. M. Brown) : — Among common species taken during 
the summer may be noted Hemerobius stigma Steph. from Allerthorpe, 
Boriomyia subnebulosa Steph. from Ryhill, Chrysopa vittata Waes. from 
near Sheffield, and the minute Semidalis aleurodiformis Steph. from 
Winterburn, Ryhill and Sheffield, and with this last the form curtisiana 
End. 
Plecoptera (J. M. Brown) : — A considerable amount of collecting 
has been done among the Stoneflies, and a number of new vice-county 
records can be given. Amphinemura standfUssi Ris. and Leuctra moselyi 
Mort., noted for the first time in last year’s Report, were taken again this 
year at Winterburn (V.C. 64), Capnia nigra Piet, and Nemurella in- 
conspicua Piet, occurred near Sheffield (V.C. 63), Leuctra nigra Piet, 
was obtained at Sedbergh (V.C. 65) and near Sheffield, while the rare 
Capnia vidua Kip. occurred near Muker (Swaledale). 
Psocoptera (J. M. Brown) : — The most interesting species obtained 
during the season is the apterous Hyperetes guest falicus Kibe, taken at 
Winterburn, which, I believe, is the first county record. 
Plant Galls (J. M. Brown) While galls have been collected on 
most of the Union excursion's, few of particular interest have been noted. 
At Sedbergh, Mr. Mason gathered the interesting root-gall on the oak, 
due to Biorrhiza pallida Oliv. f. aptera, the alternate generation to the 
common Oak-Apple gall wasp. In the neighbourhood of Skipton, 
Stictodiplosis scrophulariae Kieff., deforming the flower buds of the 
Figwort, was rather plentiful, and on Flasby Fell Molinia coerulea, as 
noticed first by Mr. Malins Smith, was commonly attacked by Mayetiola 
ven tricola Rubs. 
In The Naturalist for November, Mr. Falconer published a list of Galls 
obtained in the North and East Ridings. 
Coleoptera (M. L. Thompson) : — From the reports which have so 
far reached me it appears that beetles have been scarce during the past 
season both with regard to species and individuals. Members of the 
Coleoptera Committee attended the meetings of the Union at Saltburn, 
Skipton and Sedbergh, also the Sectional Meeting at Ryhill Reservoir. 
A few new localities for some interesting species may be mentioned. 
Mr. E. G. Bayford captured a specimen of Blethisa multipunctata L. at 
Bolton Ings, Bolton -on-Dearne. Mr. W. J. Fordham records Harpalus 
ceneus var. ccerulescens Schil., from Allerthorpe Common in 1931, and 
Otiorrhynchus rugosostriatus Goezes., from Barmby Moor in 1931. Mr. T. 
Stainforth has again taken Donacia ( Plateumaris ) braccata Scop., on 
Phragmites in a ditch near the River Hull. Agabus femoralis Pk. was 
found in a large pool below Cronkley Fell in Upper Teesdale in May. 
Mr. J. Wood met with Bryocharis ( Megacronus ) cingulata Man., in 
Sunnydale, Morton, near Shipley, and a fine specimen of Aromia moschata 
L. at Askham Bog, York. Mr. Geo. B. Walsh has found specimens in 
his collection of Bembidion redtenbacheri , which were taken at Scalby 
Beck, near Scarborough and Bridlington. This species was brought 
forward as a British insect by Dr. Joy, who took a few specimens on the 
banks of a stream near Sheffield in 1925. 
Specimens in my own collection are from Lockwood Beck Reservoir,
