2IO LLOYDS NATURAL HISTORY 



Of late years M. R. Dognin has received many new species 

 from Ecuador, of which he has pubHshed diagnoses in " Le 

 Naturaliste." 



In 18S7 he published a quarto pamphlet, with coloured 

 plates, entitled " Note sur la Faune des Lepidopteres de Loja 

 (Equateur) et descriptions d'especes nouvelles;" and in 189 1 

 and 1894 he issued two more parts under the altered title 

 of "Lepidopteres de Loja et environs (Equateur) : Descriptions 

 des especes nouvelles." 



Argent'i?ie Republic. 



Professor Burmeister devoted vol. v. of his " Description 

 physique de la Republique Argentine" (1878), to Lepidoptera 

 (Butterflies, Sphinges^ and part of the Bombyces). This work 

 is in octavo, but he subsequently published two parts of an 

 atlas of Lcpidopfera in quarto, including, besides figures of 

 many perfect insects and their metamorphoses, letterpress in 

 the same form embodying a large amount of additional 

 information. 



Chili. 



The Lepidoptera of Chili are fairly well known. In 1852 a 

 considerable number of species were described and figured by 

 Blanchard in vol. vii. of Gay's " Historia de Chile : Zoologia," 

 and many papers on the subject have since been published in 

 various European and Chilian journals by Philippi, Butler, 

 Bartlett-Calvert, and others. Mr. Edwyn C. Reed has also 

 published a synopsis of Chilian Butterflies, illustrated by three 

 plates, under the title of " Una Monografia de las Mariposas 

 Chilenas " (Santiago de Chile, 1877).
