The terminal segment of the second pair has two short thick teeth, 
differing in shape and insertion from those of the first pair. There 
are no teeth on the tarsi of the third pair. 
Wings: As in No. 3, but first submarginal cell is about one-third 
of its length longer than the second posterior, and the stem of the 
first submarginal cell is about one-half the length of the cell. The 
supernumerary and mid cross-veins are close together, the posterior 
cross-vein about its own length towards the base of the wing. 
Genitalia: The claspers are long and curved and without terminal 
articulate spine, and generally as in No. 3. 
Length: 5 mm. 
@. Head as in male. Antenne; Less plumose, and as in

Legs: As in male. 
Ungues : First pair equal, uniserrate; second pair equal, uni- 
serrate ; third pair equal, simple. 
Wings: As in male, but first. submarginal cell is one-fourth of its 
length longer than the second posterior cell, and the stem of the first 
submarginal cell is somewhat more than one-third the length of the 
cell. Cross-veins as in the male; sixth vein as in the male. 
Length: 6 mm. 
Habitat. Obuasi in June, July, August, October, and Novem-

NOTES AND OBSERVATIONS. 
NoNAGRIA NEURICA IN THE Mappison Conuection. —I see the 
‘Entomologist’ on p. 124 records that the late Mr. Maddison’s 
melanie Nonagria newrica came from Horning. This was an error 
in the label, as these N. newrica came from myself, and were not 
Norfolk specimens. So far as I know, melanic examples of N. newrica 
have not been taken at Horning, where Messrs. Bowles, Hdelsten, 
and myself have taken very many specimens of the typical form.— 
A. Rozsinson; 5, King’s Bench Walk, Temple, E.C., May 4th, 1909. 
SATURNIA PAVONIA, ab.—Yesterday I captured a rather remarkable 
variety of Saturnia pavonia, which I should describe as a ‘“blind”’ 
variety, as it has the spots where the eyes usually are blank. This 
is probably the rare variety mentioned in ‘ Moths of the British Isles.’ 
The spots on all four wings are identical. The centres are filled in with 
pale fuscous colour, with no shading whatever. I took the specimen 
on the Quantock Hills near here. It is a fine male. By the way, 
the species seems well-established here, as I saw over two hundred 
in just over an hour and a half.—W. A. Boaur; The Bank House, 
Watchet, Somerset, May 3rd, 1909. 
GyNnaNDROUsS AmMoRPHA popuLI.—Although I believe gynandrous 
specimens of A. popult are, comparatively speaking, common, it may 
be of interest to record that I have just bred a very fine one, left side
