that this rare species had only been recorded as bred on 
four previous occasions, viz., by the Rev. T. A. Marshall, 
who got three females from galls of Andricus terminalis, Fab., 
obtained near London; in October, 1884, Mr. W. F. Kirby 
succeeded in breeding six males and one female from Ephestia 
elutella, Hub.; Brischke obtained one male from Dioryctria 
abietella, Zinck.; while Mr. Sydney Webb, of Dover, suc- 
ceeded in rearing another male on August 10th, 1884, from a 
larva of Myelois ceratonia, Zell. 
- Mr. W. Warren exhibited specimens of Antithesia ustulana 
end A. fuligana ; also bred series of the following species :— 
Kupecilia degreyana, Stigmonota pallifrontana, Cacacia decre- 
tana, and Gelechia peliella. 
Lord Walsingham exhibited specimens of several species 
of the genus Cryptophasa belonging to the family Crypto- 
lechide of the Tineina, some of the most remarkable being 
males and females: of Zitua balteata, Walker, bred by Mr. 
Sidney Olliff, from pupz found in January last, at Newcastle, 
New South Wales, in burrows in branches of a species of 
Acacia. Lord Walsingham also exhibited a male specimen 
of Zelotyphia stacyt, received from Mr. Olliff. 
Mr. F. D. Godman exhibited a larva of a Cicada, from 
Mexico, having a fungoid growth on the head. 
Messrs. F. D. Godman and H. J. Elwes exhibited a collec- 
tion of butterflies, including upwards of a hundred species, 
made by them in California during the month of May, and 
in the Yellowstone Park, Wyoming, during a few days in the 
beginning of June. Mr. Elwes remarked that many of the 
species were of considerable rarity and interest, especially 
those taken in the Yellowstone Park, which appears to have 
been but little worked by American entomologists. Among 
those from Southern California were the lovely Lycena 
sonorensis, Feld., a species which, though local, is not so rare 
as has been supposed, and has been bred from the larva 
recently by Mr. Wright, of San Bernardino. It has usually 
been taken in early spring, in warm situations on the coast 
of Southern and Lower California, but was found by Messrs. 
Godman and Elwes in the open pine forest on the San 
Bernardino Mountains, at an elevation of about 4000 feet.
