There is also a single example of another species of Chrysopct , 
distinct from any of those above recorded, from near Silves, 16th May, 
perhaps allied to viridana, but it is so discoloured that identification 
appears impossible. 
ASCALAPHIDiE. 
AscalapJius Iceticus , Rambur. — One male on a hill S. of Silves, 
17th May (another seen), not quite of the typical Spanish form, but 
more approaching a variety from Catalonia described by De Selys in 
the Compt. Rendus Soc. Ent. Belg., April 3rd, 1880. 
PANORPIIME. 
Panorpa meridionalis, Rambur. — One $ and two $ , Cintra, 27th 
April, one $ , Sabugueiro in the Estrella, 5th June, one £ , Cea, 9th 
June, one $ and one $ near Salamonde, 30th June. All the examples 
that I have seen from Spain and Portugal are smaller and less strongly 
marked than those from the Erench Pyrenees. It is the outy Panorpa 
recorded from the Iberian Peninsula.

ON THE SINGULAR NEW SPECIES OF PLUTELLA (ALLIED TO 
P. CEUCIFEEAEZJM ) COLLECTED IN SPITZBERGEN, IN 1873, 
BY THE REY. A. E. EATON. 
BY II. T. STAIXTON, F.R.S. 
The insects in question were placed in my hands more than six 
years ago, but pressure of business of various sorts has hitherto pre- 
vented my giving them the attention which they merited. Specimens 
were submitted to Professor Zeller, in 1874, who wrote his opinion on 
them May 29th of that year, but as he wished that his views on the 
specific distinctness of the specimens sent to him should be confirmed 
by myself, the matter has stood over till I had the necessary leisure to 
relax and set out the Spitsbergen specimens, which Mr. Eaton had 
collected. 
I should premise that of all the Micro- Lep idopfcra, I know of no 
more cosmopolitan species than Plutella cruciferarum , and, therefore, 
it would have appeared to me perfectly natural had it also occurred 
at Spitsbergen. 
One other point to be noticed is the very peculiar markings on the 
antennae of the normal Plutclla cruciferarum , which, in bred specimens 
of the insect, are so strikingly conspicuous.
