Mr. A. H. Jones showed on behalf of Mr. Henry Lupton a 

 few butterflies from Majorca, captured between April 8 and 

 April 20 last. Comparing the specimens with those of the 

 same species from Corsica, also exhibited, they appeared to be 

 smaller ; the Fararge megeera approached the form tigelius, the 

 Ccenonymj^ha pamphihis differed somewhat in the under-side 

 being darker. Only one moth was seen, Alacroglossa stellatarurn. 

 So far under twenty species of butterflies have been recorded 

 from the Balearic Islands. 



Mr. Selwyn Image showed : — («) A specimen of Cr ambus 

 ericellus, Hb., taken at Loughton, Essex, August 8, 1899. Not 

 previously recorded from further south than Cumberland ; 

 (b) two specimens of Nola confusalis, H.S. ab. colmnbina, Image, 

 taken in Epping Forest, May 22, 1906. The fii-st examples 

 of this aberration were taken by him at the same locality 

 May 22, 1905, and recorded in the Ent. Rec. July 1905, p. 188 ; 

 and (c) a specimen of Peronea cristana, F., the ground colour 

 of upper-wings abnormally black, even more intensely black 

 than in the ab. nigrana, Clark. Taken in Epping Forest 

 August 19, 1905. 



Mr. J. H, Keys sent for exhibition the type of Spathor- 

 rhamphits corsicihs, Marshall (described and figured in the 

 "Bull. Soc. Ent. Franc, 1902," pp. 210-212), from Vizzavona, 

 Corsica. This fine Anthribid was supposed by some Coleopter- 

 ists to have been an accidental importation into the mountain- 

 ous regions of the island, but was no doubt endemic. 



Mr. G. C. Champion remarked that he had taken Platgr- 

 rhinus latiroslris in numbers at the same locality, in the beech 

 and pine forests {P'mus laricio) along the line of railway, above 

 the tunnel. Dr. Karl Jordan, of Tring, the principal authority 

 on the Anthribidx at the present time, reports on the genus as 

 follows : — ■ 



Spathorrhamphus, Marshall (1902). 



$ . Close to Eurymgcier, Leconte (1876), from North 

 America. Antenna as thick as in that genus, but shorter, the 

 club longer and more compressed, segment 8 less than half the 

 length of 9, 10 one-third shorter than 11, being longer than in 

 Eurgmgcter. Rostrum broader at apex, less distinctly grooved 

 longitudinally on upper-side, the mesial carina more elevate.
