26 Insecta. 



The plate accompanying the first paper illustrates a number of variations of Eu- 

 stroma reticulata, in several of which the markings on the two forewings are asym- 

 metrical. 



In the second paper Littlewood describes more than one stage of the larva, 

 and the pupa, and also records his observations on the habits. The young larvae are 

 found resting duving the day on the under side of the leaves of Inipatiens noli-vie-tan- 

 gere, frequently b ing along the midrib. In captivity they fed on the leaves, flower- 

 petals, aud flower-buds. They fed by drilling round holes in the leaves or whatever 

 part of the plant they are eating. In the last stage the larvae eat the unripe seeds, 

 probably exclusively: duriiig the day they frequently rest attached by the claspers to 

 the midrib on the under side of a leaf, with the body stretched down towards the stem 

 of the plant, on which the fore-legs rest. The larvae usually rest during the day and 

 commence feeding at evening. Larval life lasts about a month. In captivity the full- 

 fed larvae spun cocoons of silk and sand, or wrapped themselvea in withered leaves of 

 the Impatiens. Damp appears to be an esseutial condition for the larva to make a 

 satisfactory change to the pupal state. H. Scott (Cambridge).

 Entomologist, Bd. XLV, Heft 1, S. 7—8, 1912. 



The author has found that Lepidopterous larvae of various species will change to 

 healthy pupae in glass tubes plugged with cotton wool, without the addition of earth 

 or any other material. This method has been very successful, and is recorded as it 

 may prove useful in certain kinds of work, especially those in which it is required to 

 watch closely the changes at pupation. H. Scott (Cambridge).

 Entomologist, Bd. XLV, Heft 1, S. 17—20, 1912. 



In connection with the question whether Pyrameis atalanta migrates auually into 

 England from the Continent, and with the wider question whether butterflies in general 

 undertake regulär migrations, the author records his own observations in several places, 

 on the English coast, in Malta etc. In general these observations are coutrary to the 

 view that regulär migrations are made. An Observation is recorded of a curious rota- 

 tory movement of large numbers of Atella phalantha across, and round the base of, a 

 mountain in Mauritius (pp. 19, 20) H. Scott (Cambridge).

Die Raupen dieses Bläulings leben auf einer Rubiacee (Vanr/tieria spinosa 

 Roseb.) unter der Obhut der genannten Ameisenart. Aus einem Rückenporus 

 geben sie Flüssigkeitstropfen ab, welche von den Ameisen gierig aufgeleckt wer- 

 den. Andererseits scheint die Pflege durch die Ameisen den Raupen notwendig 

 zu sein; ohne Ameisen in Gazebeutel eingebundene gingen immer zugrunde, da- 

 gegen gelang die Zucht, wenn an den Zweig ein hohles Bambusrohr mit in den 

 Gazebeutel eingebunden war, durch welches die Ameisen ein- und ausgehen 

 konnten. J. C. H. de Meijere (Hilversum).
