QQ [September, 1880. 



in any review of my work to correct Cochylis to Conchylis with my entire con- 

 currence." I have read with care all that has come under my notice published on 

 this question of orthography, and I can reach no other conclusion than that it is 

 better to make such corrections as the above, and for the same reason Lozotania, 

 Steph., becomes Loxotamia, Steph. 



For the Californian species cuneanum, the genus Hendecastema is established, 

 but this species is identical in structure with humerosana which Clemens published 

 in 1860, and for which he established the genus Amorbia which must take precedence 

 over Hendecastema. I am very sure his lordship did not possess an example of 

 humerosana at the time he published this work, else he would have noticed their 

 generic relation and placed his cuneanum in the genus Amorbia of Clemens. 



I cannot convince myself that lutosana, Clem., is identical with incertana, Clem., 

 or with the European politana, which is not uncommon in this country. Specimens 

 identified by Prof. Zeller as politana, Haw., have been raised here from Pinus strobus. 

 I think the identity of these species is still an open question. 



The species pulcherrimana, Wlsm., and demissana, Wlsm., belong to the genus 

 Dichelia, while xanthoides, Wlk. belongs to (Enectra. 



Conchylis gratana, Wlk., is regarded as equivalent to " Croesia? reticulatana, 

 Clem., var. stdfureana," but reticulatana, Clem., is a true Cenopis, while sulfureana, 

 Clem., is quite distinct, belonging to the genus Dichelia. According to my notes on 

 Walker's types gratana, Wlk., is identical with sulfureana, Clem. 



Sericoris fozdana, Clem., is given as a synonym of Penthina hebesana, Wlk. I 

 must hold myself responsible for this error, for I am very sure I told his lordship 

 that such was the case, and I had very good reason at the time for thinking so, but 

 I now have the type of foedana before me, and it proves to be distinct from hebesana, 

 Wlk., but identical with Sericoris concinnana, Clem., and is a true Exartema and 

 must be known hereafter as Exartema concinnanum, Clem. 



Exartema griseoalbanum, Wlsm., is a true Penthina, as shown by the males 

 in my collection. The type was a female, hence it was not possible to be sure of its 

 location. 



The British Museum Authorities are to be congratulated upon the publication 

 of a work so reliable and valuable to workers on this family of insects. — C. H.

Sir Sidney Saunders forwarded for exhibition four living specimens of Prosopis 

 rubicola, all stjlopized females, recently bred from larvse extracted from briars 

 received from Epirus, and contributed notes thereon. 



Miss E. A. Ormerod exhibited a soft gall-like formation found on Rhododendron 

 ferrugineum, but believed to be of fungoid growth. 



Mr. Billups exhibited a specimen of lleptaulacus villosus from Box Hill. 



Mr. H. J. Elwes communicated a paper " On the genus Colias." 



Mr. W. L. Distant read a paper entitled " Notes on exotic Rhynchota, with 

 descriptions of new Species."
