segments are clothed with white hairs; the neutral surface is 
flesh-coloured (much brighter in the female), and has a broad 
interrupted brown band down the centre; the last two abdominal 
segments are narrowed in the male, and, together with the 
forceps, testaceous in colour: the oviduct in the female (when 
protruded) is long and slender without terminal lamelle ; it has 
the basal joint round and yellow, the second one elongated, 
furrowed, and brown, and the terminal one slender and pointed, 
half as long again as the second, pale yellow at its base, brown in 
the centre, and pale pink at the “apex. Halteres brown, with 
the stalks pale at their bases, and with the knobs clothed with 
patches of white hairs. Wings covered with dark pubescence, 
cubital veins straight and joining the costal vein a good way in 
front of the apex of the wing; both these veins look thick, being 
clothed with scales, and have a reddish tinge; the lower branch 
of the anal vein forms a uniform graceful curve to the hind 
border of the wing. Legs brown, with the basal halves of the 
femora pale, and the knees with the ends of the tarsi pink; the 
under surfaces of the legs are thickly clothed with white hairs 
which gives them a shining silvery appearance.—R. H. Mane ; 
Bradford.

V. antiopa was seen on August 3rd, 1885, by Mr. Fynes Clinton, 
of Christchurch, who was accompanied by a friendly expert. It was

Christchurch, May 19, 1866. 
FURTHER NOTE oN LycamNa ARGIoLUs.—The communications 
made to the HKntomologist this year on this interesting lepi-

Mr. Harcourt Bath, pp. 13 and 29-33, followed by one by myself, 
pp. 50-52: these led to others, among which were notes from 
Mr. W. H. Harwood, pp. 88-89; from Mr. E. Sabine, p. 89; 
from Messrs. H. Goss, W. Farren, G. J. Grapes, and J. R. S.
