grej^er and more coarsely powdered with black atoms than my 

 specimens from Canada, but as Guenee's var. b, which are less 

 powdered, are from Australia, probably they vary there too." 

 Taking Haworth's less powdered specimens as the type, the 

 following varieties have been noticed : — 



a. var. extranea, Gn. — Described in full above ; more thickly 

 powdered with black scales than the type. The Eev. G. H. Raynor 

 has brought the following description to my notice : — " Fore 

 wings light brownish-ochreous, with numerous scattered short 

 fuscous strigulae and black scales ; orbicular and reniform 

 indistinct, roundish, more yellow-ochreous, dark-centred ; a 

 white dot, sometimes very obscure, on lower margin of reniform, 

 preceded and followed by dark scales ; a curved posterior series 

 of black dots ; a straight oblique slender fuscous streak from 

 apex to this series ; a hind-marginal series of black dots ; cilia 

 pale brownish-ochreous, apex whitish. Hind wings grey-whitish, 

 towards hind margin broadly suffused with dark grey, especially 

 on upper half, veins dark grey ; cilia whitish, sometimes with 

 an indistinct grey line." (' Transactions of the New Zealand 

 Institute,' vol. xix'., 1886, by E. Meyrick, B.A., F.E.S.) 



ft. var. asticta, mihi. — This is Guenee's var. a, of which he 

 says, " No white spot at the base of the reniform." This name 

 would also include Guenee's var. n, of which he says, " No white 

 spot ; superior wings less powdered, with the apical streak less 

 marked. Infeiior wings with a blackish border clearly marked, 

 especially underneath." So that his var. a is the variety 

 extranea without the white spot ; var b is the paler type without 

 the white spot.

C(ENONYMPHA PAMPHILUS WITH ADDITIONAL OCELLI — Mr. 



Larkin describes a specimen of Ccenonympha pamphilus (Entom. 

 110) in which " each of the ocelli on the under surface of the 

 wings has a supplementary spot below it and attached to it." 

 I apprehend this applies to the ocelli of the upper wings only. 

 I have a specimen in which there are two confluent ocelli, each 

 white-centered, on the under side of the left upper wing the
