Mr. Bond exhibited a finely-marked variety of the female of Cabera exanthemaria, 
bred by the Rev. Mr. Horton, of Powick, near Worcester. 
Mr. Newman sent for exhibition some larve of Hepialus lupulinus found in a 
heap of wet clay amongst the under-ground rhizomes of the common coltsfoot 
(Tussilago farfara), at Henlow, near Biggleswade, in April last: these larve were all 
dead, and remarkable as forming the pabulum of a fungus, probably a Spheria, 
occupying the whole interior, and sending out its mycelia in all directions through the 
skin, while in some specimens a stout capitate column rose from the neck of the larva 
immediately behind the head, evidently the fructification of the fungus. This 
singular formation is figured in ‘ The Entomologist,’ vol. iii. p. 75.
