C. pinetellus and R. consociella. Common; at sugar. 
A. Aglaia, E. ochroleuca and T. obscurata are just coming 
out.—George Parry; Church Street, St. Pauls, Canterbury, 
August 4, 1871. 
Agamogenesis tn Orgyia coenosa.—Three weeks ago I 
found, in Wicken Fen, a full-grown larva of O. caenosa, and 
J put it in a box by itself. During the night it spun its 
cocoon, and five days afterwards it emerged, a fine female; a 
few days after it laid more than fifty eggs: they duly 
hatched, and are now under the care of Mr. Hellins. J am 
quite certain that this female was not impregnated before 
laying ils eggs, as it was completely isolated from coming 
into contact with any male. A similar circumstance occurred 
with me some few years ago; the species then were Smerin- 
thus Tiliz and S. ocellatus—Thomas Brown; 13, King’s 
Parade, Cambridge, August 18, 1871. 
Curious variety of Argynnis Huphrosyne.—U pper surface : 
fore wings fulvous, almost entirely covered up with black ; 
the fulvous markings are an indistinct patch at the base, 
broad at the inner margin, and sending a narrow streak along 
the hind margin; three small indistinct spots on the right, 
and two on the left wing, near the centre, and six oblong 
blotches from beyond the centre to the hind margin; each of 
these, except the one nearest the costa, contain about their 
centre a large indistinct black spot. The hind margin 
consists of black triangles running up to the centre on the 
wing-rays; the hind wings are black, except.a row of oblong 
blotches on the hind margin, similar to those on the fore 
wings, but containing no black spots; the under side of the 
fore wings is yellow at the apex, and the remainder reddish 
orange, with eight black spots of various sizes near the 
centre; on the under side of the hind wings the silver spots 
entirely cover the hinder half of the wings; each spot is, 
however, kept distinct by the reddish wing-rays; the central 
spot is produced, both wings meeting the silver spot on the 
hind margin, and running up to the base of the wing; there 
are two silver spots at the base, and one on the costa; the 
rest of the wing is bright ochre-yellow ; all the markings are 
indistinct, the colours running one into the other, especially 
so on the upper surface. | took this variety here, on the 24th 
of May, in company with a number of commonly-marked
