ENTOMOLOGY LEPIDOPTERA. 371 



LEPIDOPTERA. 



The works of Freyer (Neue Beitr. zur Schmetterlings- 

 kunde) and of Her rich S chaffer (System. Bearbeitung 

 d. Schmetterlinge v. Europa), have been continued re- 

 gularly. 



Of the former, the 69th 73d numbers have appeared ; of the other, the 

 3d 9th parts, iu which the text, from the pen of H. Schaffer, already ex- 

 tends to the greater portion of the diurnal species. 



Eversmanii has completed a general Fauna of the 

 Lepidoptera belonging to the province of Wolga-Ural 

 (Fauna Lepidopterologica Volgo-Uralensis exhibens Lepi- 

 dopterorum species quas per 25 annos in provinciis, Volgam 

 fluviurn inter et montes Uralenses sitis observavit et de- 

 scripsit Ed. Eversmann. Casani, 1844.) 



An admirable work, alike accurate and copious ; it is iu the form of a Se- 

 quel to Ochseuheimer and Treitscke's, thus far, that the divisions and nomen- 

 clature of this are taken for the groundwork, and the synonyms of the 

 species which it comprehends are not given over again. All the species are 

 defined by characters in Latin. The information respecting the occurrence 

 and distribution of the species is particularly valuable, as derived from the 

 Author's personal observations, diligently pursued and uninterruptedly for 

 a period of twenty-five years. A fuller notice of the work is given by 

 Bering. (Entom. Zeitg. 1845, pp. 156, 236, 367.) 



Appendix to the List of Lepidoptera, observed up to this time in Prus- 

 sia, by Prof. Klupsz (Nachtrag. zu dem Verzeichniss, &c. Preuss. Prov. 

 Bl. 1844.) 



A systematic catalogue of the Papiliouidse, Sphingidsc, and Bombycidse 

 indigenous in the environs of Boppart and Biugeu, by M. Bach and C. 

 Wagner. (Verhandl. naturhist. Yerehis der preuss. Rheinlande Yr. 1. p. 50.) 



Selys Long champs has communicated observations on some of the Lepi- 

 doptera, made during a journey in Italy. (Ann. Soc. Ent. !Y. ii, p. xii.) 



Hagcu has republished (in the Entom. Zeitg. p. 385) the references by 

 Linnaeus to the Lepidoptera in Schaffer's Icon. Ratisb. Ins. torn, i, from a 

 Supplement to the 12th ed. of the Systema Naturae, which is very rare, 

 and hence appears to be not generally known. 



Zeller (Isis, 16) has discussed the synonyms of the Lepidoptera of 

 Hufnagel at large, and learnedly.
