374 REPORT ON ZOOLOGY, MDCCCXLIV. 



from Asia Minor; H.fatua (Friv.), Freyer (ibid. f. 3, 4), from Turkey (a 

 variety of H. allionia). 



Freyer has also figured H. larpeia, Ochs. (pi. 427), and H. leucomelas, 

 in its different states (pi. 433). 



Kollar (Hiig. Kaschm. 444-452, pi. 14-17) has described the follow- 

 ing new species from the Himalaya Mountains, and has figured most of them : 

 Satyrus swalia, sarasioati, padma, scliakra, verma, isana, hyrania, zophyms, 

 nareda, Erebia scanda. 



Of the Lycseuidse, Freyer has figured Lye. dardanus, Friv. (pi. 419, f. 2, 

 3), a variety of orlitulus ; L. balkanica, Friv. (pi. 421-2), from Turkey; L. 

 orbitulus (421, 3, 4), with a small variety of L. daphnis, from the Ural 

 Mountains, as L. stecenii. L. boisduvalii, H. Schaff. (ibid. f. 7-9), from 

 Southern Prussia, is the representative of L. eros in that country. 



Kollar (ibid. 412-423, pi. 4, 5) has described and figured most of 

 the following new species : Thecla rama, nissa, nila, syla, sorya, Polyom- 

 matiis sena, pavana, tama, pandia, asoJca, patala, didda, nara, putli, maka, 

 ccelestina, 



And of the Hesperidce (ibid. 453-456, pi. 18), Hesperia xanthopoyon, 

 leucocera, fatih, dam, disu. 



Freyer (ibid. pi. 417, f. 3, 4) has given figures of H. cervantes, Grasl. 

 and H. <etna, Boisd., the latter to all appearance H. cincioniiis, Hffg. 9 , a 

 Brazilian species. 



SPHINGES. Macroglossa nycteris, Kollar (Hiig. Kaschm. 458, pi. 19, 

 f. 15), is a new species, from Massuri, in the Himalaya, which comes very 

 close to Sph. pandora, F. 



Ghiliani (Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. ii, p. 72) has communicated his new 

 observations on the cry of Brachyf/lossa atropos. He soon convinced himself 

 that it proceeds from the head. Having cut off the head, it ceased, as might 

 be expected. He removed the palps in another and the sound continued. 

 Next he cut the trank off at the root, the cry continued, while a greenish 

 fluid was forced out and drawn in by turns through the middle orifice (the 

 proper passage to the month), becoming foamy with air-bubbles introduced 

 into it as it gushed out. When the author stopped up this orifice with a 

 pin the cry ceased at once, but recommenced when the pin was withdrawn. 



SESIAKI^E. Kollar has characterized a new genus, Trypanophora, with 

 the feelers slender, between serrated and scalloped towards the base, com- 

 pressed and dilated at the tip, with bearded short palps, a long spiral trunk, 

 the wings broad, partially bare of scales, the cubital vein with two branches, and 

 inclosing a pretty long, nearly oval, cell, the abdomen cylindrical, with a short 

 ovipositor protruded from the end of it in $ ; the legs of equal length, almost 

 compressed, with very short terminal spines tolhe shank. A single species, 

 Tr. semihyaliiift, from Cashmere. (Hiig. Kaschm. 457, pi. 19, f. 1-4.)
