Entomological Society of London. — Aiigust 5M, 1891. — The 
President announced the death of Mr. Ferdinand Grut, the Hon. 
Librarian of the Society, and commented on the valuable services 
which the deceased gentleman had rendered the Society for many 
years past. Dr. D. Sharp exhibite<l Japyx solifugusy from the Eastern 
Pyrenees, and stated that in his opinion it was a connecting link 
between the Thysanura and Derinaptera. He also exhibited pupte of 
Dytiscus 7 )iarginalis ) one of these was perfectly developed, with the ex- 
ception that it retained the larval head : this was owhng to the larva 
having received a slight injury to the head. Dr. Sharp also exhibited 
specimens of Opho 7 ius pimcticollis and allied species, and said that 
Thomson’s characters of the three Swedish species, O. puncticollisy 
O. brevicolliSy and O. I'ectangiilus. applied well to our British examples, 
and separated them in a satisfactory manner. Thomson’s nomencla- 
ture, however, would, he thought, prove untenable, as the distinguished 
Swede described our common pimcticollis as a new species under the 
name of rectangulus. Mr. F. W. Frohawk exhibited a bleached speci- 
men of Epinephele janiray having the right fore w-ing of a creamy white.
