two extreme dark, two light pink and two dark pink Smerinthus 
popult, bred from selected parents. 
AGRIADES corIpoN.—Mr. Newman also exhibited four 
curious 2 specimens of A. coridon, three having the right pair 
of wings much smaller than the left and heavily dusted with 
blue scales, the left side being normal; also one specimen 
similar but vice versa. All were taken wild in Herts in 1913, 
where several other similar specimens were noticed. 
Aw IRisH PTEROSTICHUS ATERRIMUS.—Dr. G. W. NIcHOLSON 
showed a specimen of Pterostichus aterrimus, Pk., from Clover- 
hill, Co. Cavan. The only other Irish record is from the 
Co. Cork, where a few were taken in the early thirties of the 
last century. This species used to be common in the Fens 
before they were drained, but has since disappeared from there. 
A specimen, however, was taken in Norfolk by Prof. Beare in 
1911. 
ABERRATION OF TELCHINIA VIOLAE.—Mr. HK. E. GREEN 
exhibited a transfer of a remarkable aberration of Telchinia 
violae, Fab., taken by Mr. G. Halkett, in the district of Kuru- 
negala, Ceylon. He also showed transfers of the normal form 
of the same butterfly which is usually regarded as a very 
constant species. The aberration consists of a black suffusion 
completely occupying the cell of the fore-wing; a considerable 
extension of the discal black spots; a suppression of the pale 
spots on the black border of the hind-wing, together with an 
inward extension of the black border along the course of the 
veins. 
PARASITISED JASSIDAE.—Mr. GREEN also exhibited Jassidae 
from Ceylon, parasitised by an undetermined species of 
Gonatopus. 
ACANTHOCINUS AEDILIS FROM Bow.—The Rev. G. WHEELER 
exhibited on behalf of Miss Macbride a number of living 
specimens of the Longicorn beetle Acanthocinus aedilis, L., 
taken in a timber-yard at Bow. This species is almost con- 
fined in the British Isles to Scotland, being far from uncommon 
in the neighbourhood of Rannoch, but has been several times 
brought south in timber, and has been taken in the British 
Museum itself. Only the g has antennae of the immense 
length of the specimens exhibited,
