This meeting was the third annual meeting at Richmond Park and proved to be popular, with ten members and guests attending. Our intention was to attempt to relocate the crimson underwings {Catocala spp.) last recorded from the park at the end of the previous century. Large quantities of sugar were applied and many light traps run but, needless to say, there was no sign of even Catocala nupta L. (red underwing). The moths provided a few additions to the park list and included the migrant Rhodometra sacraria L. (vestal); Parascotia fuliginaria L. (waved black), still increasing its range in Surrey; Coenobia rufa Haw. (small rufous); and Cerapteryx graminis L. (antler), in rather greater numbers than is usual in the south-east of England. More interesting species amongst the microlepidoptera were: Pediasia contaminella Hiibn., Psoricoptera gibbosella Zell., and Caloptiliapopuletorum Zell. Probably the most spectacular catch of the evening were two specimens of the huge longhorn beetle Prionus coriarius L., a species only recorded from the park on one previous occasion this century, that last year. Other interesting beetles included: Tomoxia bucephala Costa, Metoecusparadoxus L., and Mordellistena neuwaldeggiana Panz.; the latter probably new to vice-county 17, Surrey. We would like to thank the park authorities for their assistance in holding this Please n
