Exhibitions, dx. 



Lord Walsingham exhibited some rare Micro-Lepidoptei'a 

 collected by himself at Cannes, including Eudemis heli- 

 chrysana, Conchylis ruhricana, Milliere ; a new Depressaria 

 from Opoponax cheironium, which is about to be described by 

 M. A. Constant, and Bucculatrix helichrysella ; and also a 

 volume of drawings of larvae of the genus Eupithecia, by 

 Mr. Buckler, which formerly belonged to the Rev. H. Harpur 

 Crewe. 



Mr. M'Lachlan exhibited larvsB and cocoons of Mecyna 

 deprivalis, Walk., sent by Mr. W. W. Smith, of Ashburton, 

 New Zealand ; the species feeds commonly on Genista capensis, 

 an introduced plant. Mr. M'Lachlan remarked on the curious 

 nature of the larva, and suggested that as the species was so 

 closely allied to M. polyyonalis, so extremely rare in this 

 country, they might be interesting to British lepidopterists. 



Mr. Jacoby exhibited abnormal specimens of a phyto- 

 phagous beetle, Metaxonycha tridentata, Jac, in which one 

 side of the thorax was furnished with teeth as in the type, 

 whereas the other side was quite simple, and presented no 

 trace of teeth. 



The Rev. Canon Fowler, on behalf of Mr. J. Edwards, 

 exhibited specimens of Gyrinus colymhus, Er,, with specimens 

 of G. elo7i(j(ttus, Aube, for comparison ; he also exliibited 

 drawings of the aedeagus of both species proving their 

 distinctness.
