miles off. You can put your hand into the hill-side amongst the ferns and shrubs, 
mid bum your lingers in the scalding water, or look down and see steam in jets 
mingling with the water-falls : the baths there are much frequented. — GrKO. Lewis, 
Grand Hotel, Yokohama: March 27th, 1880. 
Note on Coniopteryx lutea, Wallengren. — This little-known species was described 
by Wallengren in his Skandinaviens Neuroptera, pt. i, p. 55 (1871). It possesses ample 
posterior-wings, and is thus allied to tineiformis and aleyrodiformis, but it especially 
differs in the neuration of the anterior-wings, the second sector being absolutely 
simple, whereas the first ends in two forks ; moreover, there is a transverse nervule 
fiom near the beginning of the first sector to the second, and it is also larger, and the 
mealiness is described as yellowish- grey. He says two examples from Gothland are 
in the Stockholm Museum. 
I have before me two examples of Coniopteryx that agree perfectly with the 
description, excepting that the mealiness can scarcely be termed yellowish ; it is 
possible the original examples may have been discoloured by age. One of these is 
from Kuusamo in East Bothnia, Einland; the other from Hautaika, district of the 
Yenesei (68 . 5 N.), North-western Siberia. Both taken by Dr. J. Sahlberg. They 
are larger than even C. psociformis. The antennae are 24-jointed (Wallengren says 
about 25- join ted). This is evidently a boreal species, but there is no reason why it 
should not be found in Scotland. — R. McLachlan, Lewisham, London : 15th May , 
1880. 
E/ipsocus cyanops, Bostoc/c, a species new to Britain. — Mr. J. E. Fletcher 
recently forwarded to me an example of this insect, one of three beaten by him from 
Finns sylvestris, at the Old Hills near Worcester on August 13th, 1877, and June 
10th, 1878. The species was described by Kostock, firstly in the Entomologische 
Nachrichten, vol. ii,p. 192 (1876), and secondly in the Jahresb. Yer. Naturk. Zwickau, 
for 1877, p. 99, from examples taken in Saxony. It is somewhat smaller than E. 
Westwoodi and E. hyalinus, and readily distinguishable by the body being wholly 
yellow, excepting the black (bluish in life, according to Rostock) eyes and ocelli, the 
antennae (excepting at the base) and the tibiae and tarsi being more obscure. The 
wings are wholly hyaline with dark neuration and a yellowish pterostigma. It is 
most likely to be mistaken for Ccecilius obsoletus, but the 3-jointed tarsi at once 
distinguish it therefrom, the intermediate joint being apparently longer and more 
distinct than in E. Westwoodi and its ally. 
Probably it is the insect that Hagen identified somewhat doubtfully with 
Hemerobius flavicans , Linne, Fauna Suecica, ed. ii, p. 384. No doubt flavicans 
represents some species of Fsocidce, but it cannot have been cyanops from the words 
“ Caput nigrum. Thorax nigricans ” (in the diagnosis the words are “ niqer , 
thorace abdomineque Jlavis”). I have types of E. cyanops before me. 
There is yet work to be done in British Fsocidce, notwithstanding that most of 
the known European species have been detected here. — In. 
Corrections of Errors.— In my note on “ Parthenogenesis in Tenthredinidce,” 
&.C., vol. xvi, 269, two errors of nomenclature occur. For “ Nematus miliaris ” read 
“ Nematus curtispina, Thoms.,” and for “Nematus pallidus ” read “Nematus 
pall talus, Thorns.” — J. E. Fletcher, Worcester : May 14//i, 1880.
