enable an opinion to be formed, as to which species is under 

 examination ; the general surface gives also an impression of 

 less roughness, because it is usually more fully extended, as 

 though better fed up, and the smoother portions of the seg- 

 ments are more in evidence, but as to the details of sculpture, 

 the frontal nodules, anal armature, etc., there is rather an 

 identit}' than a resemblance between the two species, and a 

 number of pupai of both species mixed together, would be as 

 difficult to separate as would those oi psi and tridens, except 

 that the intersegmental membrane is black in venosa, and 

 brown in innnicis.

Some works bearing on the nomenclature of our Geometers and 



Pyrales, which have recently appeared, deserve notice : — 



C. Freih. v. Gumppenberg. Systema Geometrarum zonce temperationis 

 septentrionalis ; in Nov. Ad. Leop.-Car. Akad., 1890. 



In this great descriptive work on the Geometra; of the north 

 temperate region, the nomenclature differs much from that familiar 

 to us in England. Rheumatoptera, for instance, is an immense 

 genus, including among other things our Melanthia bicolorata and 

 oceilata, Melanippe hastata, tristata, montanata, sociata, rivata, 

 galiata, and fluctiiata, and even AstJiena blomeri, and Canipto- 

 gramma bilineaia. Lygris Hb. includes our Cidaria silaccata, 

 reticulata^ populata., iestata, and prunata. Many varieties are 

 enumerated, but there is not very much that is new. Under 

 RJieumatoptera \Camptogra!nma\ bilineata,'\s described'a new variety, 

 infuscata, having the median area of the wings more or less in- 

 fuscated. This variety may be entered in the British list, as it is 

 familiar to our collectors. 



R. South. Additions to the British List of Deltoids, Pyrales, and 

 Crambids since 1859. A series of papers now appearing in 

 Entotn., compiled mainly from the original records, which are some- 

 what inconveniently scattered. On p. 330, EpJiestia roxburghii 

 Gregs., following Ragonot, is maintained as a good species.
