and towards the costa, a triangular spot of the same colours in 

 the middle of the costa, and the apical margin is lilac, yellow 

 inwardly, and a row of white dots, with lilac centres, forming a 

 chain ; cilia yellowish lilac ; hind wings white, with the margin 

 slightly brown on the outer angle. A single specimen, taken by 

 Mr. Plumstead, at Brixton, about forty years since (about 1793, 

 Ed.), and now in Mr. Curtis's cabinet, is the only authority for 

 the introduction of this fine insect into our indigenous lists. 

 Boisduval regards it as a native of America, and as probably 

 belonging to his geimsEudryas. It is omitted by Mr. H. Doubleday 

 from the list of British Noctuse." Wood, in ' Index Entomolo- 

 gicus,' figures it at plate 17, fig. 424a, and says, " native of India." 

 Dr. Staudinger omits it from his European list. Euphasia catena 

 may be ranked as an " accidental visitor " to this country, probably 

 introduced in earth surrounding some plant imported from 

 abroad. — Ed.] 



T^NIOCAMPA LEUCOGRAPHA NEAR TuNBRIDGE WeLLS. — Whilst 



staying at Groombridge, near Tunbridge Wells, last month, I 

 took a very fair specimen of the above-named insect whilst 

 working some sallows. — W. H. Blaber ; Beckworth, Lindfield,

Hermaphrodite Lepidoptera. — On August 17th, 1880, I 

 captured a Geometer larva crawling on a fence at Heme Hill, 

 near London, evidently in search of a suitable place to undergo 

 its transformation. Being desirous of rearing the insect, I 

 placed it in a box with some elm leaves, and on looking at it 

 two days afterwards I found it had changed into a bright green 

 pupa within one of the leaves which it had rolled up. On 

 September 4th the moth appeared, having the wings and 

 antennae of the right side completely male, those of the left 

 female ; the palpi, eyes, and body, on each side also exhibiting 

 the same sexual differences. Both male and female external 

 sexual organs were present at the extremity of the abdomen, the 

 "anal tuft" of the male being notably conspicuous. The pupa 

 shell, which I have carefully preserved, is interesting, showing 

 as it does all the peculiarities as plainly as the moth. Mr. 

 W. F. Kirby identified this insect as Eugonia {Ennomos) angu- 

 laria, and invited me to exhibit it at the October meeting of 

 the Entomological Society of London, which I did. The second
