Plate IX. shows the same iu the last instar. 



The photographs of the larval details may be regarded as sup- 

 plementing those I contributed to Tutt's " British Lepidoptera," 

 vol. X., plates VIII., IX., X., and may be compared with those of 

 Cupido miniuiiix, our only British species of the Everid tribe. 



Mr. Tutt in " British Lepidoptera," vol. x., pp. 43-101 summed 

 up what has hitherto been ascertained as to Kreres anfiades, and 

 this may be consulted for further details." 



MARCH 25th, 1915. 



The main subject of the evening was the special exhibition of 

 series of Aphautopns hyperantus, contributed to by Messrs. Frohawk, 

 R. Adkin, Bright, Edwards, Turner, Dennis, Curwen, Ashdown, 

 B. W. Adkin, Gibbs, and Leeds, and the discussion thereon. 



Mr. R, Adkin's exhibit of Aphantopus hyperantiis comprised series 

 from many English localities, including a long row from the 

 neighbourhood of Carlisle, the greyish tone of colour of the 

 undersides of which was very noticeable as compared with the 

 browner shade of the more Southern examples. Several specimens 

 showed considerable variation in the markings of the underside, the 

 extreme in the one direction having the ocelli large and in some 

 cases elongated, while in the other they were reduced to mere dots 

 = var. arete, or absent = var. cicca. Two specimens showed 

 considerable bleaching similar to that which is not infrequently 

 found in Epinephele jnrtina. 



Mr. W. J. Ashdown exhibited specimens of Aphantopus 

 hyperantns from Switzerland, France, and the New Forest, showing 

 the variation in ground colour and in number of spots on the 

 undersides. 



Mr. Leeds exhibited specimens of A. hyperantus and particularly 

 pointed out examples with asymmetrical markings. 



Mr. Frohawk exhibited his series of A. hyperantus, including fine 

 examples of the ab. lanceolata, and called attention to the very 

 considerable variation occurring in the number and development of 

 the eye-spots, and in particular pointed out in various exhibits odd 

 specimens in which a very small additional apical ocellus was 

 apparent on the forewings. 



Mr. A. E. Gibbs exhibited from British localities, ab. rura from 

 Howick ; ab. arete from Cambridge ; ab. vidua from Cambridge, 

 Cornwall, and New Forest ; and from Continental localities, ab.
