" Melicerta ochroleucus,''' 111., pp. 94 and 95, is a puzzle. It 

 is represented in Stephens' collection by Btrongylog aster eborinus, 

 with which his specific description agrees, but not the generic one, 

 i. e., the clypeus is stated to be not emarginated, the 3rd antennal 

 joint to be as long again as the -Ith, the wings shortish, with only 

 three sub-marginal cellules, the 2nd of which receives two recurrent 

 nervures ; and as the 1st cellule receives one also, this gives three 

 recurrent nervures in all ; and again, the 1st marginal cellule is stated 

 to be small, so that it is clear that this description cannot have been 

 taken from eborinus, unless from a remarkably aberrant specimen, 

 differing in form of the clypeus, antenna; and wings from the 

 ordinary form. 



Hemichroa alni. — I captured a specimen of the ^ of this species 

 in Dunham Park, near Bowdon, in June last. It differs considerably 

 from the other sex ; it has no red on the head and thorax, the antennae 

 are testaceous, and the feet reddish-yellow. The (^ is very rare in 

 comparison with the ? ; but the (J of H. rufa seems to be much rarer ; 

 indeed, it is not, so far as I am aware, known at all, although the 

 females are common enough, and have often been bred. 



Dineura stilata. — The larva) of this species have been very 

 abundant during the present autumn, on the hawthorn hedges around 

 Glasgow. They feed quite exposed on the face of tlie leaves, eating 

 the upper epidermis : they are very sluggish, rarely moving even when
