10 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 
6th, 1906, and reported in the ‘ Proceedings of the Entomo- 
logical Society’ of the same date. The other is from the 
Meldola Collection, taken in Epping Forest, May 30th, 1908. 
This variety was first described in the ‘ Entomological Record,’ 
vol. xvil, p. 188. 
N. albulalis—Long series, but only eight specimens with 
data. These are from the Meldola Collection, labelled ‘‘ Kent. 
Chattenden,” without date. 
N. centonalis.—Hight specimens. One from the Meldola Col- 
lection, labelled ‘‘ Deal. 1881/3. Rt. Adkin.” One specimen in 
each series of N. cuculatella, strigula and confusalis are Haworth 
specimens, and each is labelled with its name in his writing. 
N.B.—Haworth’s specimens are recognisable by a special 
label. 
SARROTHRIPINA. 
Sarrothripa revayana.—Series of over 100, including almost 
every possible variation. By far the greater number are from 
the New Forest. By the kindness of Mr. South several of the 
forms have been identified and named. 
ARCTIIDA. 
Spilosoma menthastri.—In a long series from Perthshire, bred 
and presented by Mr. T. M. Marshall, the fore wings are of varying 
shades of pale buff. From the Meldola Collection is a very dark 
buff form from Glasgow. A female from North Staffs, bred by 
myself last vear, is asymmetric, the right fore wing having less 
than half the number of spots that there are on the left. The 
right hind wing has only one very small submarginal spot, while 
the left has two. In both hind wings the central spot is obsolete. 
From the Hope Collection is one of Haworth’s specimens, labelled 
by him S. lubricipeda. The series contains 14 ab. radiata and 
9 ab. zatuma. 
Diaphora mendica.—Six specimens bred by Mr. L. W. Newman 
are six hybrids, between the type and ab. rustica. The males 
are pale greyish-buff. In a series of 16 bred from ova obtained 
by me from Mr. L. W. Newman in 1916, together with the two 
parents, the males, except one, which is rather pale buff, are of 
true rustica type. From two of this brood another generation 
of 17 specimens was reared. The male parent was of the true . 
rustica type, but 8 of the male offspring resembled the hybrid 
males alluded to above, the 6 other males being true rustica. 
Phragmatobia fuliginosa.—In 8 females from the Champion 
Collection, bred from larve taken near Woking, and a female 
from the Meldola Collection, taken in North Cornwall, the fore 
wings are dark and the hind wings show only a very narrow red 
border along the inner margin, and closely resemble var. borealis.
