C ds} 
(Basilarchia) wiedemeyeri, from Colorado. This much larger 
series supported the conclusions suggested by the smaller 
exhibit shown by Professor Poulton at the previous meeting :— 
viz. that the superficial appearance of A. bredowi and of L. (B.) 
lorquint undergoes reciprocal convergence in the areas where 
these two species fly together, but that where each of them 
exists alone, lorguint to the W. and bredowit to the 8., the 
resemblance to the other is much reduced. 
Hyprips AND VARIETIES oF British Hererocera.— Mr. L, 
W. Newman exhibited (a) a long and varied series of Hnnomos 
autumnaria (alniaria), including examples in-bred several 
years of a very pale washed-out colour, the usual in-bred Kent 
form; specimens bred by Mr. Tugwell 1882-3, a very rich dark 
speckled form; specimens including two pairs melanic (rich 
dark brown with canary-yellow thorax), the parent 9 captured 
in East Kent in 1905 and quite typical, but the brood of 
1906 produced two melanic specimens, while this year several 
melanic specimens were bred and a quantity of the types, 
which latter were very rich in colour and heavily speckled, 
some almost approaching Mr. Tugwell’s race: (4) a series of 
Polia xanthomista (nigrocincta) bred from ova and fed on 
carrot, the specimens unusually large (N. Cornwall), and one 
Isle of Man specimen also bred from ova, and one specimen 
bred from wild collected larvee—a much smaller specimen : (c) 
three pairs of hybrid Votodonta ziczac 3 x N. dromedarius 2 , = 
newmani, Tutt, and one specimen each of ziczac and drome- 
darius : (d) three very fine Yylina conformis bred by Evan John, 
S. Wales: (e) three cocoons (i situ) of Dicranura bicuspis 
collected wild in Tilgate Forest : and (f) fine melanie ¢ Opor- 
abia dilutata, taken wild in Bexley Woods 1907, this being the 
first melanic specimen of the species reported from Kent. 
New Species or Betenois.—Dr. F. A. Dixey exhibited male 
and female specimens of a new Belenois allied to B. zochala, 
Boisd., but quite distinct from the zochalia group. These 
were captured by Mr. Wiggins in the Tiriki Hills, north-east 
of the Victoria Nyanza. 
Rare CoLEorreRA, THYSANOPTERA, AND ApTERA.—Mr. R. 8. 
BaGNALL read the following notes on the several examples 
exhibited by him.
