Drepanafaleataria, between Zermatt and St. Nicholas. 



Cymatophora dupJaris, Saas Yalley. 



Diloba cceruleocepltala, larvae abundant on Primus mahaleh (not 

 reared) . 



In this list of Bombyces the unrecorded insects are : 



Nola, one or two species ; I am inclined to think all are centonalis 

 but there is so much difference in shade, that, perhaps, there may be 

 two kinds. 



Setina, probably another species amongst the varieties of aurita. 



Litlwsia complana ?, the yellow is so much duller than in the type, 

 that it may be different. 



Gnopliria quadra, taken at Sierre (not in either Yisp or Saas 

 Valleys). 



Ocnogyna parasita, eggs of this moth were found (in the Yalais) 

 in our walk from Chamounix to Martigny. They were brought home, 

 and Mr. Baker was successful in rearing the species. The female is 

 especially curious, looking like a Sjnlosoma, with the wings of a female 

 Diurnea. Pour species of Psyclddce complete the list. 



I shall not attempt at present to give the names of Noctuce or 

 Geometrce. 



The few walnut-trees in the Visp Yalley were as much disfigured 

 by Gracilaria juglandella as my lilac bushes are by G. syringella at 

 home. The box containing my Micro-JLepidoptera was by accident 

 crushed quite flat, and none escaped. 



The plumes not recorded in my former list (Ent. Mo. Mag., vol. 

 xvi, p. 21) were Leioptilus carpJwdactylus, taken low down in the Yisp 

 Yalley, and Oxyptitus obscurus, caught in the hilly field half way up 

 the Eiffel. 



I hope time and opportunity will allow me to increase this list at 

 some future day.

A NEW SPECIES OE DEGEERIA. 

 BY H. N. RIDLEY. 



In March, 1879, I took, under the dead bark of an elm tree, in a 

 field near Cumnor, in Oxfordshire, several specimens of a Degeeria 

 which I a,t first referred to D. nivalis, but, on recently examining 

 them, I find them to be very distinct. 



Deoeeria pulchella, sp. n. 

 Head yellow ; eyes black, connected by a black V-shaped band. First thoracic 

 segment yellow, anterior margin black; second segment black; third yellow; the
