286 THE entomologist's beoord, 



develop, the English ones have only, as a rule, a short autumn. This 

 probably contains the explanation of why so many German specimens 

 emerge the first season, and why comparatively so few English ones 

 attempt it. When I say German, I merely mean the actual pupge I 

 have received this year and last, what their real habitat is I do not 

 know. 



Staudinger and Rebel's Catalogue.* 



[t'untinued from, p. 270.) 

 As a good deal of revisional work at the generic nomenclature of 

 the butterflies has been done by Scudder, Kirby, and others, and as its 

 results have in part been made known through various channels to 

 British readers — of whom, moreover, there are not a few whose interest 

 hardly extends beyond these families — space may be found to catalogue 

 the British butterflies as they now appear : 'PAPu.ioniDJE.—Pajnlio

Of the 68 species enumerated, only 41 bear the same generic 

 names as in Tutt's " British Butterflies;" but 15 of the 27 differences 

 are due to the conservation by Staudinger of the large old-fashioned 

 genera Vanessa, Aryynnis, Erebia, and Lycaena, and need not concern 

 our more advanced British students ; eight others are in the llesperiidae, 

 and the reviewer is incompetent at the moment to decide which 

 nomenclature is right, although probably Watson's (followed by Staud- 

 inger) will prove to be so in most cases. The other four dift'erences 

 are the restitution of Leptidia (recte Lcptidea) ,JM\Vo., in place of Leuco- 

 pjhasia — a change which will stand or fall according to the view taken
