 has yet been found in Britain, but I have described it from continental specimens, 

 so as to render the group of Thriptoceratm, Desv., more complete.

NOTE ON THE GENUS HYPSOIDES, BUTLER. 



BY AV. F. KIRBT, F.L.S. 



Assistant in Zoological Department, British 3Iuseum {Natural History), S. Kensington. 



The genus Hypsoides was founded by Mr. Butler in the " Cistula 

 Entomologica," vol. iii, p. 1 (1882), for a new moth from Madagascar, 

 which he called H. hipars, and w^hich still remains the sole representa- 

 tive of the genus in the British Museum. 



Some time afterwards, on examining the figure and description of 

 Bomhyx Badama, (sic) Coquerel [Ann. Soc. Ent. France (3), iii, p. 530 

 (1855) ; (4), vi, p. 342, pi. v, figs. 1, 1 (18G6)], we came to the con- 

 clusion that the two species were closely allied, although specifically 

 distinct. This is confirmed by a short paper just published by M. 

 Mabille in the "Bulletin de la Soc. Ent. de France" (6), x, pp. 

 cxlvi — cxlviii, in which he establishes a new genus, Goenostegia, for 

 Bomhyx Bhadama, Coq., and places in it Bomhyx Bhadama and B. Diego, 

 Coq., and two new species, Coen. Barrei and O. fluvens, the last of 

 which is closely allied to, if not actually identical with, Hypsoides 

 bipnrs, Butl. C.Jiavens appears, however, to be a yellower insect. 



Mabille regards Coenosiegia as allied to Cnethocampa, and proposes 

 to establish a new family, Cnethocampides, for the two genera. It is, 

 however, much more closely related to the African genus Anaphe, 

 "Walker, which was discussed by Lord Walsingham in the "Transactions 

 of the Linnean Society of London," ser. 2, Zoology, vol. ii, pp. 421 — 

 426. 



The majority of authors agree in referring the two anomalous 

 genera, Anaphe from Africa, and Hypsoides (= Coenosiegia) from 

 Madagascar, to the Liparidce. Both genera agree in constructing a large 

 silken pouch, which forms an outer covering for the gregarious pupae.

A LIST OF HEMIPTERA-HETEROPTERA COLLECTED IN THE 

 ISLAND OF GUERNSEY. 



BY W. A. LUFF. 



During the last few years I have collected the HemipteraSetero- 

 ptera in this island, and, through the kindness of IMr. Edward Saunders, 

 who has examined and named most of them, I am enabled to present
