lias met with a new Sivammerdamia , the 
larva of which feeds on plum, and has 
interrupted subdorsal lines of a bright 
red ; the perfect insect comes near to 
Griseocapitella : I have proposed for it 
the name of Pruni. — H. T. Stainton ;

Derivations of Names. — In answer to 
the Rev. H. H. Minchin, in regard to 
one of the names he asks for the deriva- 
tion, I would suggest that the name 
“Anthrocera” is derived from Anlhos , 
a flower, and Ceralitis, horned, in allu- 
sion to the antheridse of some flowers, 
and which I had always considered a 
very appropriate name. I also consider 
the name “Coraplaua” as applied to 
the genus Lilhosia when at rest, as all 
the species that 1 am acquainted with 
have a very flattened, smooth, com- 
pressed appearance; I therefore consider 
the name “Complana” a very appro- 
priate one for at least one of the species.

Cetonia Aurata. — Having taken a con- 
siderable quantity of this elegant beetle, 
I shall be happy to supply any of your 
readers who may require specimens. I 
believe it does not occur in the North of 
England ; so any northern entomologist 
who can spare any local species in ex- 
change would oblige. If no local insects 
are sent, correspondents will please to pay 
return postage. — Herbert F. Gibbs,

Captures in Old Branches. — I would 
suggest to Coleopterists working hedges, 
never to neglect beating any old branches 
that are placed to fill up gaps, as Pogo- 
nocerus hispidus and pilosus, and Cal- 
lidium alni have been among the insects 
I have thus obtained at Hampstead. —

Cromer, in Norfolk. — Could any reader 
of the ‘ Intelligencer’ kindly give me any 
information as to Cromer (Norfolk), 
either purely Coleopterous, or as to the 
peculiar features of the country and sea- 
shore ? at present all I know about it is 
that Nelria livida is found in “ crevices 
in the cliffs.” — Ibid. 
My Second Days Collecting amongst 
the Coleoptera. — The locality is called 
Fondlands, a gentleman’s estate, with a 
tolerable tract of woods, surrounded by 
a large extent of wild hilly ground partly 
covered with heath and furze, interspersed 
with the brake fern, Pteris aquilina, and 
now and then a tree or bush. The names 
are mostly from Stephens’ ‘ Manual,’ but 
some have been corrected by the latest 
published synonymic lists.
