disc 0 ' °ry of li\ing Colorado-beetles in possession of a man near Plymouth, with 
editoiial leaders on the legal proceedings taken against that individual. 
Mi. MeLachlan called attention to a remarkable memoir by Dr. Adler on 
dimorphism in oak-gall Cynipidce (see ante, p. 258). 
Mr. I ascoe read a paper on the Rhyncophorous genus Hilipus, of Grermar, and 
its neotiopical allies, and exhibited a long series of species in connection therewith. 
Mr. Distant read “ Descriptions of two genera and species of Rhynchota from

Teronea (Terns') Logiana , Schiff.,=^n’sfrm«, Hub. — I met with the 
larva of this species for the first time in great abundance in Somerset- 
shire, eighteen months ago. Wilkinson’s description of its habits is 
very good. \\ lien feeding on the bushes of Viburnum lantana in the 
hedges, the discoloration produced among the leaves was surprising, 
indeed, those on the lower portions of the bushes down the side of the 
bank became a tangled mass of drawn-together and dead-leaf membrane, 
only the under-side of each leaf being eaten away. The larvae were 
active, slender, slightly flattened, with deeply divided segments 
more so than usual in this genus, — very pale yellowish, with large, 
distinct, dull green or brown, internal dorsal vessel. Head very pale 
yellowish, mouth darker, plates and feet almost colourless. Youim

larvae remarkably colourless, except the dorsal vessel. On Viburnum 
lantana, eating the under surface and parenchyma of the leaf, and 
drawing the space between the ribs longitudinally together (much as 
is done on a smaller scale by the larva of Lithocolletis lantanella) , 
living in a small chamber more closely drawn together at one end of 
this space. Feeding through September, spinning up among the leaves. 
Pupa brown. The moths emerged in considerable variety in October 
and November. 
These Somerset larvae differed in colour from those described by 
Wilkinson, and by Kaltenbach, being yellowish rather than olive- 
green. The latter author notices the curious habit of the species of 
scraping off the down (“felt”) of the under-side of the leaf (a habit 
in which it resembles some of the larvae of the Tterophoridoe), he also 
states that the pupa has two oblique rows of short tufts of bristles ou 
each hinder abdominal segment.
