40 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



F.R.S., exhibited three species of Planema (Acrseiiiae) together with 

 mimetic species of Pseudacraa (NymphaHnae) captured on the same 

 day in a small patch of forest near Entebbe by Mr. C. A. Wiggins, 

 F.E.S. Tlie Pseudacrgeas were of two species, but the sexes of one 

 were entirely different in pattern, mimicking two species of Planema.

 Kraatz, of Berlin, was announced, and Dr. Karl Jordan gave a short 

 account of the services rendered to entomological science by the 

 deceased gentleman, who was for many years a Fellow of the Society. 

 — Mr. H. Eltringham exhibited a case of butterflies from African 

 localities, to show that the species described as Acrcea aurivillii is 

 the female of A. alciope, and to illustrate the mimetic relations 

 between the Acrcea and the two species of Planema, and a species of 

 Mimacrcea included in the exhibit. — The Rev. F. D. Morice brought 

 for exhibition a case of Aculeate Hymenoptera, representing many 

 different groups visiting a solitary tree of Ochrademus haccatus, Del., 

 in the neighbourhood of Jericho. They showed a remarkable simi- 

 larity in points of colour, &c., and neither plant nor insects, in most 

 cases, were to be found elsewhere in the region. — Mr. A. H. Jones 

 exhibited a few butterflies collected during last summer at Formia, 

 near Naples, including Mela?iargia arge, probably the most northerly 

 limit of the species. Fine forms of Hipparckia semele, Satyrus 

 statilinus, Melitoia parthenie, and Lavipides ba^ticus ; also various 

 Lycgenidae, presenting httle if any difference from the types found in 

 the Swiss Alps. — Mr. H. J. Turner, an example of McUtcea didyma in 

 which the greater portion of the black pigment had more or less 

 failed to develop, captured at Zermatt on August 3rd, 1909 ; a speci- 

 men of Brenthis enphrosyne, taken in the same locality on July 31st, 

 the spots composing the submarginal line well developed, and most 

 of them elongated towards the base; a specimen of Polyonimatus 

 damon, in which there was no trace of the transverse row of eye- 

 spots on the under side of the fore wings, the discoidal spot only being 

 present, from near Aigle ; and two series of Melitaa parthenie with 

 var. ? varia, the first taken on the Riffelalp on August 1st, and the 

 second up the Valley of the Zmutt, Zermatt, on July 31st. — Mr. A. 

 Sich, a pair of Depressaria ptitridella, Schifl'., bred from larvae taken
