A third new form from Enru is related to D. joiceyi Talh., 

 from Ceram. It occurs at 5000 ft., a higher elevation than 

 most of the others. 



A fourth novelty represents the Ceram D. manuselensis Talb., 

 and the fifth represents the Ceram D. stresemanni Roths. All 

 these are quite distinct from their Ceram relatives. 



D. funerea buruann Roths., is shown. This species recalls 

 D. dvris Hew., from Ceram. and is doubtless related to it. The 

 female of D. huruana presents a close resemblance on the upper- 

 side to both sexes, especially to the female, of Mynes dohertyi. 

 On the underside the red basal streak of the hind-wing is 

 common to both. These mimics occurred at the same place. 

 The exhibitor said that descriptions of the new forms 

 exhibited were being prepared for early publication. 



Curious Nemopterid larva. — Dr. H. Eltrinciham 

 showed on the screen a drawing of the curious Nemopterid 

 larva which had been brought to the Hope Department by Mr. 

 Willmer and exhibited alive by Prof. Poulton at a previous 

 meeting. He gave some account of its structure, and said 

 that a fuller description with notes thereon kindly supplied by 

 Mr. C. L. Withycombe was in course of preparation. 



Mr. C. L. Withycombe made some remarks on the anatomy 

 of Nemopterid larvae and said that he thought the one in 

 question was possibly a species of Nemoptera. 



Mr. E. N. Willmer said the insects were quite common in 

 Egypt in the desert oases and regretted that he had not collected 

 more of them, but he had not at the time realised their rarity. 

 Scent-organs in New Zealand Trichoptera.— Mr. 

 Martin E. Mosely, who illustrated his remarks with lantern 

 slides, said : — 



Amongst a small collection of Trichoptera, sent to me by an 

 angling friend from New Zealand, I noticed in two genera 

 unusual characters which suggested the presence of scent- 

 organs. 



Both these genera, Pycnocentria and Olinrja, belong to the 

 Sericostomatidae, a family in which the maxillary palpi of the 

 male are noted for extreme variation from the typical form. 

 They were both described as early as 1860-70, and have been 

 figured by MacLachlan, Ulmer and others. As, however,
