(ma) 
been kindly named by the authorities at Kew. The food- 
plant of the forms of Pseudacraea hobleyi, Neave—a large 
tree with very hard wood—was now determined (cf. Proc., 
1912, p. exxxvii) as Chrysophyllum sp. near C. kayet, S. Moore— 
(Sapotaceae). The Pseudacraea butterflies and also especially 
Planema arenaria were much attracted by the mauve flowers 
of the Composite plant Hrlangea tomentosa, 8. Moore. Prof. 
Poulton also mentioned, in reference to the exhibit of the 
larvae and pupae of the Hypsid moth “ Callioratis”’ pacto- 
licus, Butl. (Proc., 1912, pp. lxxxii, Ixxxiii), that the food- 
plant was the Leguminous plant Crotalaria striata, DC. 
Cornish Puryxus Livornica.—Mr. B. Haroitp SMITH 
exhibited 35 specimens of Phryxus livornica taken at light, in 
South Cornwall, during the last half of May, 1912. 
A PROBABLE GYNANDROMORPH OF ACIDALIA VIRGULARIA.— 
Mr. A. Bacor exhibited a specimen of A. virgularia having 
the right wings melanic, the left wings of normal grey colora- 
tion. The edges of the grey and melanic areas showed a sharp 
median longitudinal line. As the right wings were noticeably 
smaller than the left, the specimen would probably prove on 
examination to be gynandromorphic. 
Mr. L. B. Prout said that the specimen was no doubt a 
gynandromorph; he observed that a similar specimen had 
been described by Habich, of Vienna. 
RHOPALOCERA FROM THE WESTERN HIMALAYAS AND 
Turkestan.—Mr. N. D. Rivey exhibited on behalf of M. 
André Avinoff a collection of Rhopalocera made on a journey 
in the Western Himalayas. M. Avinoff, who was present as 
a visitor, gave the following account of his expedition, speaking 
in admirable English :— 
The Rhopalocera now exhibited were collected during a 
journey of seven months’ duration made by him from Srinagar 
in Kashmir to Russian Turkestan, travelling by way of 
Sonamarg, Zoji-la Pass, Leh—whence an excursion into 
Rupshu near the Tibetan frontier was very interesting—from 
Leh by caravan through the Kardong Pass, Nubra, Saser Pass, 
Karakorum (18,500 ft.), Kilian Pass, Karkalyk, Kashgar, Alai 
valley to Och, and so to Russian Turkestan. 
From Srinagar the fauna above 5,500 ft. was purely
