Exhibitions, Memoirs, &c. 



Mr. Westwood read descriptions of two new genera of Coleop- 

 tera, for which he proposed the names of Erichsonia Dentifrons 

 and Cossyphodes Wollastonii; also descriptions of some new Indian 

 Hemiptera. 



Mr. H. T. Stainton read an Inquiry from Herr Zeller on the 

 subject of the P. Chixia of Linne, some doubts having been raised 

 as to its identity with our Melitcea Cinx'ia. Mr. Stainton stated 

 tliat he had examined the specimen in tlie Linnaean Cabinet, which 

 is the species known to us as Melitcea Cinxia, the P. Delia of the 

 Wiener Verzeichniss, and which still retains the label of Linne. 



Mr. J. W. Douglas stated that he had recently been informed 

 by Mr. Doubleday that he had bred last year the rare Phoxopteris 

 upupana of Treitschke ; and that Mr. B. Standish had last year 

 captured at Leith Hill the true P. Sauciana of Hiibner. 



Mr. J. F. Stephens exhibited a living specimen of Pygcera 

 Bucephala sent to him by Mr. Doubleday. This specimen was 

 one of several which had been found last week at Epping, and 

 had been sent to him by Mr. Doubleday as a remarkable instance 

 of the early occurrence of the insect, the general time for its 

 appearance being June. 



Mr. Westwood called the attention of the meeting to a specimen 

 of the rare Cerapterus Macleayii, which was amongst the insects 

 presented by Mr. Wilson; this species, though figured by Dono- 

 van some forty years ago, not having since occurred.
