blotch definitely terminated by the black border exteriorly, 

 but vanishing into the general blue area interiorly. The 

 form closely resembled the Nearctic form pseudargiolus. 

 He believed that the food-plant had not hitherto been 

 recorded. 



A CURIOUS ENTOMOLOGICAL PICTURE. — Mr. TuRNBR also ex- 

 hibited a curious colour-print of an " Entomologist " pub- 

 lished in 1830 in London, in which the whole of the figure was 

 ingeniously made up of various species of the Insecta, only the 

 face being human. 



The Genus Dianthoecia. — Mr. L. W, Newman exhibited 

 specimens of Dianthoecia, bx-ed from North Kent wild larvae, 

 resembling exactly, both in size and coloration, Dianthoecia 

 capsojjhUa from the Isle of Man. This appeared to confirm 

 the opinion of several leading men that D. capsophila and D. 

 carpophaga are the same species. He also showed for com- 

 parison varied series of D. carjyophaga ; a pair of D. ca2)sophila 

 and D. capsincola. 



CoLiAS HECLA FROM FiNMARK. — Mr. W. G. Sheldon ex- 

 hibited a series of C. hecla, from the Porsanger Fjord, Arctic 

 Norway, with specimens of the other orange species occurring 

 in Europe for comparison. 



A LIVING Earwig. — Mr. W. J. Lucas exhibited a living ^ 

 of Labidura riparia (the Giant Earwig), taken on the shore 

 near Christchurch, Hants. They appeared to be getting 

 scarce. He had visited the locality three times in August, and 

 in all found a dozen specimens — i^, 9 , and nymphs. The one 

 exhibited was taken on August 31, and had been fed on raw 

 meat. As these earwigs change colour very much after death 

 he also exhibited a drawing giving the colour of the living 

 insects, and demonstrating how well they are protected by 

 resemblance to the pale sand of the Hampshire coast. 



Pyrenean Lepidoptera. — Mr.G. T. Bethune-Baker showed 

 specimens of Hepialus pyrenaicus, a species found not un- 

 commonly on the higher parts of Mount Canigou, with the 

 apterous female. Also a fine form of Lycaeria avion, and 

 a specimen of Heodes hippothoe that was at once radiated, 

 obsolescent and asymmetrical. 



Alpine Butterflies. — Mr. Douglas Pearson exhibited a
