THE 
We have much pleasure in announcing that with the commence- 
ment of Vol. XVII of this Magazine, the Editorial staff will be 
increased and strengthened by the addition to it of Mr. Charles GL 
Barrett, who has, from the first, so greatly assisted us, and whose 
labours in investigating the British Lepidopterous Fauna are so well 
and favourably known ; and of Mr. Edward Saunders, who, for 
many years, has turned his attention to other Orders of British Insects 
with equally beneficial results.

A NEW SPECIES OF L1PURA. 
BY HENRY N. RIDLEY. 
This insect I found in April, in the same locality as that of 
Machilis brevicornis, namely, at Water-break-its-neck fall, near New 
Radnor. 
The head is ovate, the antenna; four-jointed, the last joint the largest, and oval 
in shape. The second segment of the body, i.e., the prothorax, is narrow, the third 
and the fourth are the broadest, the terminal segment is the smallest. I can perceive 
no trace of eyes. The last segment bears two short up-curved processes, and the 
whole body is covered with scattered hairs. The colour of the body is orange, the 
head and the last segment lighter yellow, the under-side is also lighter in colour, 
and the alimentary canal seen through the translucent skin causes the middle line of 
the back to appear darker. The feet and antennoe are snow-white. 
Length, 24 mm. 
June, 1880.
