seen the young larva of laodice, but other Argynnids, and, in fact, all 
larvee, show only two structures, the basal seutcheon and the hair. 
In these Argynnids the hair descends into the scutcheon, and expands 
a little within it, to the distance and amount of the ‘“ bulbous base.” 
The basal margin of the “bulbous base” is internal to the scutcheon, 
and may be seen through its transparent structure, but there is no 
structural line on the outer surface of the scutcheon such as the 
figures give. The other tubercles have precisely the same structure. 
THE ANTIPODEAN GENUS PROBOLOIDES, Moku. 
A CoRRECTION. 
By CuaupE Mortey, F.Z.8., F.E.S. 
In the first volume of my ‘ British Ichneumons’ I described 
two species under a new genus, Proboloides, which is certainly 
valid; but unfortunately there can, I am assured, be no doubt 
regarding the origin of the insects placed therein. They are 
from New Zealand, not Britain! Their right to inclusion in our 
fauna was certified by no less an authority than Rev. H. 8. 
Gorham, and I, consequently, had no hesitation in bringing 
them forward as indigenous. Ihad seen no more till last month, 
when I discovered the same species in the National Collection. 
They should stand :—
