Mr. Hewitson’s admirable work on ‘ Exotic Butterflies’ con- 
tinues to maintain its high reputation, appearing with its usual 
regularity, and having now nearly reached its centenary, No. 97 
having been published on the 1st of this month. Various papers 
by the same author, containing descriptions of new species from | 
different localities, have appeared in the ‘ Entomologist’s Monthly | 
Magazine.’ 
In the same publication we also meet with descriptions of new | 
species of Brassoline from Bogota, by Mr. W. L. Distant; of 
Diurnal Lepidoptera from Newfoundland, by Mr. H. W. Bates; _ 
of Japanese Rhopalocera, by the Rev. R. P. Murray; and of | 
others from Central Africa, by Mr. Herbert Druce. A paper by | 
the latter on the Diurnal Lepidoptera of Angola, with descriptions 
of some new species, has also appeared in the ‘ Illustrated Pro- | 
ceedings of the Zoological Society’ (part 3); and descriptions of | 
new Asiatic Lepidoptera, by Mr. Frederic Moore, are comprised | 
in the concluding part of the same ‘Proceedings’ for the previous 
year (pl. lxvi., Ixvii.). 
Various new species of Diurnal Lepidoptera have also been | 
described in the ‘ Cistula Entomologica’ (pars xii.), by Mr. Herbert 
Druce; and a review of Dr. Boisduval’s ‘Monographie des Aga- 
ristidées, by Mr. W. F. Kirby, appears in the same publication 
(ibid.); as well as “Remarks on the Synonymy of the Atlas of 
the Heterocerous Sphingide and Noctuide of the Voyage of the 
Frigate ‘Novara’;”” by Mr. R. H. Stretch, of San Francisco 
(pars xiv.). 
Mr. W. H. Edwards has published parts 2 and 3 of the second 
series of his ‘ Butterflies of North America,’ each containing five 
coloured plates. 
We have to thank Mr. A. G. Butler for supplying, with his | 
customary zeal and energy, a long list of memoirs in this Order, | 
comprising (in addition to those in our Transactions, already | 
referred to) the following:—In the ‘Annals and Magazine of 
Natural History,’ Notes on certain Genera of Agaristide, with 
Descriptions of new Species (pl. xii., February); of Butterflies 
from Tropical. America (March); of Lepidoptera from Central 
America (May); of new Genera and Species in the Collection of 
the British Museum (June); a Revision of the Subfamily Peri- 
copiine of the Family Arctiide, with Descriptions of new Species 
(September) ; of two new Species of Arctiidze (ibid.); and of new |
