The genus Trimorus is established on Gryon Nanna and 

 on G. Phlias ; Apegus leptocerus is mentioned as the type of 

 the genus Apegus, but no description is given. In like 

 manner Hadronotus laticeps and H. stygirus are merely 

 mentioned as the representatives of that genus, but are not 

 described. A short description is given of Scelio fulvipes, 

 found near Aachen ; Idris flavicornis is cited as the only 

 species of that genus, but is not described.

^ List of Macro-Lepicloptera taken in Alderney. 



By. W. A. Luff. 



The following, with one or two exceptions, were taken 

 from the 23rd to the 30th of June, 1873: — 



Melitcea Cinxia. — Rather plentiful, but only in one loca- 

 lity, in a valley on the west coast of the island; they had, 

 however, been out some time, and were nearly all much 

 worn. 



Vanessa Urticce. — Saw one specimen. 



Pyranieis Atalanta. — Plenty of hybernated specimens. 



P. Cardiii. — One. 



Pyrarga Megcava. — Two specimens, one with a bipupilled 

 eye-spot. I may here say that this variety is not at all 

 uncommon in Guernsey and Sark.
