Butterflies from Co. Tyrone. — Mr. W. G. Sheldon 

 exhibited on behalf of Mr. T. Greer a series of Epinephile 

 jurtina apj^roaching the South European form, JiispuJla Hb., 

 and a series of Pieris napi, spring and summer broods, both 

 of which showed much dark suffusion on the uppersides. In 

 both generations forms occurred with ochreous ground-colour 

 to the wings, and in which the veins on the undersides were 

 almost equally coated with fuscous scaling. 



Zeller's types of Crambids. — Mr. A. W. Pickard- 

 Cambridge brought for exhibition Zeller's types of a number 

 of moths, mainly Crambids, from Egypt and Palestine. He 

 also exhibited aberrations of Argynnis cydippe and of Zygaena 

 ? transalpina. 



Colaenis telesiphe. — Mr. W. F. H. Rosenberg ex- 

 hibited a specimen of Colaenis telesiphe tiihraustes Sal v., in 

 which the band of the hind-wing is white as in C. t. telesiphe 

 Hew. This specimen was taken at Rio Pastaza, Eastern 

 Ecuador, in company with typical yellow-banded specimens 

 of C t. tithraustes. The band on the hind-wing is broader 

 than in Peruvian specimens of the white-banded C. telesiphe. 

 Peruvian and Bolivian specimens of C. telesiphe have hitherto 

 been generally considered as C. telesiphe telesiphe, as distinct 

 from the yellow-banded C. telesiphe tithraustes of Ecuador. 

 But Hewitson's type of C. t. telesiphe in the B.M. is from 

 Ecuador, unfortunately without exact locality. The narrow- 

 banded form from Peru and Bolivia, therefore, appears to 

 require a new name, as pointed out to the exhibitor by Captain 

 Riley. 



Lepidoptera from Florence. — Mr. Bethune-Baker ex- 

 hibited a series of the fifth generation of Heodes phlaeas from 

 Florence which began to emerge on October 21, 1921. The 

 specimens were of the typical spring emergence, but were 

 unusually small. 



He also showed from the same district a specimen of 

 Zygaena transalpina ab. elongata and another very beautiful, 

 suffused specimen of the same species, the red suffusion being 

 confined to the left wing. In addition a specimen of Z. 

 angelicae v. ochsenheimeri was exhibited and was a very 

 pretty pale yellow form.
