identical with species described by Th. Kirscli, in a paper on 

 South American beetles, which was ready for printing at the 

 time of his sudden death in July, 1889, and which has since 

 been printed under my supervision, during the last months of 

 the past year, as the 4th memoir of the * Abhandlungen und 

 Bericht Konigl, Zoologischen und Anthropologisch-Ethno- 

 graphischen Museums zu Dresden, 1888-89.' It has not yet 

 been published, as 4 coloured plates, with figures of about 100 

 new species, are still in the hands of the artist ; but it will 

 be issued in about a fortnight. I beg to notice here that 

 Th. Kirsch described and figured as Hllipus aiichoralis (pi. iii. 

 fig. 55), a species wliich evidently is identical with H. 

 Jimbriattis, Pascoe (pi. xvii. fig. 1) which latter name will, of 

 course, stand. Closely related, but not identical, appear to 

 be Hilipus inca, Kirsch., and H. anr/JisticoUis, Pascoe. No 

 doubt very nearly allied to one another are IliUpus scutcUatus, 

 Kirsch., and H. phrunodes, Pascoe." 



Mr. E. Meyrick read a paper entitled "The Classification 

 of the Pyralidina of the European-Fauna." Mr. W. F. Kirby, 

 Mr. M'Lachlan, Mr. Stainton, Mr. Elwes, and Mr. Barrett, 

 took part in the discussion which ensued. 



Prof. Westwood contributed a paper entitled "Notes on 

 certain species of CetoniidcE, of the Section Goliathides." 



Mynheer P. C. T. Snellen, of Kotterdam, communicated a 

 paper entitled " A Catalogue of the Pyralidina of Sikkim, col- 

 lected by H. J. Elwes, and the late Otto Moller," and Mr. 

 Elwes read some " supplementary notes " on the last-named 

 paper by way of an appendix. A discussion followed, in which 

 Mr. Distant, Colonel Swinhoe, Mr. M'Lachlan, and Mr. M. 

 Jacoby took part.
