species was always considered a great rarity, and its occur- 

 rence in such numbers had never before been recorded. The 

 majority of the specimens were taken on the flowers of 

 rhododendron, but others were found singly over a large area 

 of the heath. 



A NEW Hydrobcia. — Dr. T. A. Chapman exhibited a 

 specimen of Hydroecia burrowsi, Chpn., a new species that 

 has turned up (from Vladivostock) since Mr. Burrows's paper 

 on the group (Trans. Ent. Soc, 1911, p. 738); see Ent. 

 Eecord, 1912, p. 109. 



A BRED Albulina pheretes. — Dr. Chapman also showed a 

 specimen of Lycaena (Albtdina) pheretes, J , bred at Reigate 

 from the egg, supposed to be the first (and only) bred 

 specimen of the species (see Trans. Ent. Soc, 1912). 



Two uncommon Sudanese Butterflies. — Dr. G. B. Long- 

 staff exhibited Calopieris enlimene and Teracolus pleinne, and 

 read the following notes : — 



Both sexes of Calopieris eulimene were described by Klug 

 in 1829, from specimens taken at Ambukol by Dr. Hemprich 

 and Dr. Ehrenberg. Kirby gives its habitat as Arabia, but 

 Ambukol is on the Upper Nile, about half-way between 

 Dongola and Abu Hamed, in Lat, 18° N. 



In 1896 Mr. A. J. Cholmley, who was attached to Theodore 

 Bent's expedition to the lied Sea, took five specimens at 

 Ambaia Erba, north of Suakin. 



In 1900 or 1901 a single example was taken by a member 

 of the Hon. N. C. Rothschild's expedition at Shendi, between 

 Berber and Khartum. 



These are the only records that I have come across. 



In February 1909 I picked up a single specimen in the 

 western outskirts of Khartum, and a few days later took 

 seven others at Soba, on the Blue Nile, about fourteen miles 

 above Khartum. These were all males. 



In February of the present year I took between Soba and 

 Khartiim six more, three of each sex, mostly in indifferent 

 condition. I did not meet with it south of Lat. 15° 30' N. 



Meanwhile, during the past winter, Mrs. Waterfield had 

 been taking it from time to time at Port Sudan, on the lied 

 Sea, getting altogether perhaps a dozen. At the end of
