Exhibitions. 
A Rare WeeEvit.—Commander J. J. WaLkerR exhibited a 
series of Acalyptus carpini, Fr., var. rufipennis, Gyll., a rare 
weevil which had not been met with in Britain for many years 
previously. These specimens were taken on and about a 
sallow-bush at Weston-on-the-Green, Oxon, in April 1913. 
AN ALBINO EXAMPLE OF TAENIOCAMPA GRACILIS.—Mr. N. 
CHARLES ROTHSCHILD exhibited an example of Taeniocampa 
gracilis captured in April this year at Wood Walton Fen, 
Hunts. The specimen in question is white all over, without 
any markings whatever. The exhibitor remarked that Mr. W. 
Holland, who had secured the example, had also captured 
several more of both sexes of this remarkable form, as well 
as some others approaching to it but not identical with it. 
A New Bririsn Ant.—Mr. DonistHorPE exhibited a form 
of Lasius affinis, Schenck, an ant new to Britain, of which 
he had found a colony at Tenby in South Wales, on the 
sand hills, on April 24 this year. He also exhibited specimens 
of L. flavus, L. umbratus and L. mixtus for comparison, and 
showed by drawings on the blackboard the difference in the 
scales of all these yellow ants. 
ScaLES OF CNETHOCAMPA PITYOCAMPA.—Mr. H. ELrrinc- 
HAM exhibited a number of the scales composing the anal tuft 
of the ° of Cnethocampa pityocampa, Schiff., remarkable as 
being the largest scales known in any Lepidopterous insect. 
He also remarked on the absence of urticating spicules (such 
as are found in Porthesia similis, Fuess.) in the anal tuft of this 
moth. Mr. A. Bacor and Prof. Poutron took part in the 
discussion which ensued.
