Mr. K. G. Blair exhibited living specimens of the Phasuiid, 

 Bacillus f/allinis, Charp. ; young larvse of 'J'/iais nmiiini and of 

 Papilid iiuilalirins ; the 12-spotted asparagus beetle, Crionnis 12- 

 pKHctata ; pupa of a glow-worm, Lauijii/tis sp., and called attention 

 to the pup;e of the $ s which showed well-developed vestigial elytra ; 

 females of J'^pichnopteri/.r sp. of a genus formerly included 

 with the ['.si/chidae but now placed as a separate family 

 Epic/uiojitcrif/iilac ; the larvfe have no case and are somewhat 

 Zygaeuid in form. He contributed the following note: '-The 5 

 Kjiichnoiiteri/.r is a naked degenerate creature and never completely 

 casts the pupal skin. This remains attached over the ventral 

 surface, including the very much reduced legs. The head is distinct 

 but soft, with all the appendages vestigial. She emerges from the 

 cocoon, the pupal envelope remaining inside and the ventral, except at 

 the posterior end, contracted, but the tail is turned upwards. Towards 

 evening she frequently withdraws again within the cocoon. The 

 cocoon of the g is much smaller, the insect itself being a small 

 black active little moth. A crippled ^ placed with some $ $ that 

 had been out several days, at once became very excited and soon 

 paired up with one of them. One female without pairing 

 commenced to produce a string of yellow ova, but these shrivelled 

 up in a few days."
