Agrotis cinerea—large example, like the Continental form, 
greyish-drab, well marked. (Farnborough, Warwickshire— 
W. H. Jones) : 
Phigalia pilosaria ¢—the usual grey colouring replaced by 
ochreous, and the hindwings tinged with the same. (Farn- 
borough—W. H. Jones) : 
Coremia ferrugata—with the transverse bands exceptionally 
well shown by intermediate pale stripes. (Gloucester—C. G. 
Clutterbuck) : 
and a pupa of Pygera bucephala, destroyed by Cordyceps 
militaris, also from Gloucester. 
Mr. WatTerHOUSE exhibited two burnished golden beetles, 
Anoplognathus aureus from Queensland, and Plusiotis resplen- 
dens from Panama, which he stated to be interesting examples 
of a similar result being attained by a process of natural 
selection in two species of the same family in widely separated 
localities. Many members of the family had a slight 
tendency to show metallic colours. It would be interesting 
to ascertain whether there were any similarity in their 
surroundings in the two countries which would make this 
golden appearance an advantage, or whether it might be 
considered a “warning colour.” Allied species, however, 
appeared to be edible. 
Mr. Cuampron stated that he had found metallic species of 
Plusiotis in Central America at an elevation of 5,000 ft., 
flying out of reach round the tops of trees in flower. Most of 
the Lamellicorns he took were found floating in the shallow 
waters of a lagoon. 
Mr. WALKER exhibited specimens of the rare Philonthus 
Juscus, Grav., found in a Cossus-eaten poplar in Chatham 
Dockyard at the end of April.
