328 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 
The recent addition to the list of British Lepidoptera—Anthro- 
cera (Zygena) achillee—is figured and described, but we cannot 
trace anything concerning Leucania favicolor, Barr.; we have also 
looked in vain for Aczdalia humiliata. Catocala electa was possibly 
rejected as an alien, but some other species accepted by our author— 
Plusia chaleitis, Esp., for instance—are certainly not native in any 
part of the United Kingdom. 
The book is liberally supplied with indexes, and it has a table 
showing the Systematic Arrangement of Families and Genera. It is 
well printed and is altogether an attractive volume.

text.
