Exhibitions, etc. 
Mr. Jenner Weir exhibited, on behalf of Mr. J. M. Adye, 
a specimen of Plusia moneta, Fabr., which had been captured 
at Christchurch, Hants, and remarked that this species, which 
had been found in this country for the first time so recently 
as June, 1890, was apparently becoming a permanent resident 
here, as it had been since taken in several of the southern 
counties. The food-plant, Aconitum napellus, though rare in 
England as a wild plant, was very common in gardens. Mr. 
Jenner Weir also exhibited a nearly black specimen of Venilia 
macularia, L., the yellow markings being reduced to a few 
small dots. 
Mr. Hamilton Druce exhibited a female specimen of Hypo- 
chrysops scintillans, lately received by him from Mioko, New 
Ireland. He said that only the male of this species had 
been as yet described. 
Mr. EF. Enock exhibited a nest of the British Trap-door 
Spider, Atypus piceus, recently found near Hastings by Mrs. 
Knock, 
Mr. W. F. H. Blandford stated that he had recently obtained 
an additional species of Scolyto-platypus from Japan, which, 
though closely allied to the species he had formerly described, 
showed a very distinct modification of the male prosternum, 
Mr. M. Jacoby exhibited and remarked on a specimen of 
Leptispa pygmea, Baly, which was doing much injury to 
sugar-cane in the Bombay Presidency of India. Mr. G. C. 
Champion stated that he had found an allied species on 
bamboo. 
Papers read, 
Dr. F. A Dixey read a paper—which was illustrated by 
the oxyhydrogen lantern—entitled ‘‘ On the Phylogeny of the 
Pierine as illustrated by their wing-markings and geographical 
distribution.”’? A long discussion ensued, in which the Presi- 
dent, Mr. Osbert Salvin, Mr. Jacoby, Colonel Swinhoe, Mr. 
Jenner Weir, Mr. Hampson, and Mr, Kenrick took part.
