33. Pheidole pusilla, Heer. 
(Nos. 44, 45, 46, & 48). — One of the commonest ants in Oahu, 
and probably elsewhere (T. B.). The house-ant of Madeira; and oc- 
casionally met with in England (W. E. K.). 
34. Solenopsis geminata , Eabr. 
(Nos. 47 & 53). — Common near Honolulu ; also met with in 
Oahu (T. B.). 
35. E vania laevigata, Latr. 
(No. 17). — Generally common in Honolulu (T. B.). Common 
throughout the warmer parts of the world (W. E. K.). 
The collection also contained about a dozen specimens of Chalci- 
didce, &c., which stand over for future examination. Mr. Blackburn 
informs me, in answer to an enquiry, that he has not yet met with any 
Tenthredinidce (W. E. K.). 
July, 1880. 
Note on Eupteryx st achy dearum, Hardy. — On the 25th inst. I found this 
species abundant on tansy ( Tanacetum vulgar e_ ) in the garden, both sexes in dif- 
ferent stages of maturity, and there was therefore no doubt that they had fed on 
this plant. This is worth recording, because the species has hitherto been noted as 
having been found on plants of the Order Lamiacece, of which none were near the 
place ; whereas the tansy belongs to the Composites. — J. W. Douglas, 8, Beaufort 
Glardens, Lewisham : July 30 tk, 1880. 
Two new European Homoptera. — [In the “ Entomologische Nachrichten ” of 
1st March last, are the following descriptions of two very interesting species, which 
I transcribe for the benefit of those who may be inclined to look for the insects in 
Britain, whei’e there is surely good reason to believe they may be found ; the Aleu- 
rodes, especially, in the north. — J. W. D.] 
Aleurodes vaccinii, Kiinow. Antennse, legs, and abdomen yellow. Head, 
pronotum, and thorax brownish, each segment of the abdomen also with a trans- 
verse brownish band ; but in newly developed examples the entire body is unicolorous 
yellow. 
Antennte short, the second joint the longest, as long as the four following to- 
gether. Eyes large, only one on each side (A. yroletella has two on each side), 
constricted in the middle. Wings pure white, apex broadly rounded, the broadest 
part shoi’tly before the end, and all with one nerve, which reaches almost to the end. 
In the upper wings the nerve arises near the outer margin, and beyond the middle 
of the wing up to the end lies at a very obtuse angle ; in the under-wings the nerve 
goes in an almost straight line through the middle. In the S the wings are nar- 
rower and the abdomen, which is forcipate at the end, is more slender.
