the Prusripent, Commander WaLKER, Mr. BETHUNE-BAKER 
and Mr. DuRRANT. 
Mr. G. T. Beroune-Baxker brought for exhibition a series 
of Zygaena filipendulae chrysanthemi from the neighbourhood 
of Birmingham. 
A REMARKABLE NEW INSECT FROM Kasumrr.—Mr. F. W. 
Epwarps said that the specimens exhibited were received 
on the 29th of October, 1921, through Mr. Martin E. Mosely, 
and were taken in Kashmir, at a height of 11,000 ft., by 
Mr. J. F. Mitchell, Director of Trout Culture. 
Though they are probably to be regarded as representing 
a new family of Diptera, they show curious resemblances to 
the May-flies in certain respects, notably the entire absence 
of mouth-parts. The structure of the wing is altogether 
unlike that in any known Dipterous fly, and suggests that 
it_is capable of being folded up like a fan. The collector had 
not supplied any information as to the insect’s habits, and 
was doubtless unaware that he had taken specimens of more 
than usual interest, since he sent them merely as specimens 
of trout-food. 
One specimen was shown in a glass cell, one of its wings 
having been removed and mounted dry for the microscope. 
The head and one wing of a second specimen were shown on 
another slide, and photographs of these were also shown. 
Gynanpromoren or A. BETULARIA.—Mr. L. W. NEwMAN 
exhibited :— 
(1) A gynandromorphous example of Amphidasis betularia 
var. doubledayaria, the right side being 3 and the left 9. 
The specimen has the left hind-wing slightly peppered with 
white, the remaining three wings being typical of the form 
doubledayaria, and was bred from Sidcup larvae in June, 1918. 
(2) A large Ichneumonid bred from Sphina ligustri. 
THE WARBLE-FLY OF THE REINDEER CAPTURED WITH 
ITS MODEL BOMBUS LAPPONICUS MURMANICUS SKORIKOF.— 
Prof. Poutron said that he ventured to show specimens 
exhibited by the captor, Dr. E. A. CocKAaYNE, and described 
in Proc. Ent. Soc., 1919, p. v, because they proved that the 
stingless ¢ Bombus acts as a model as well as the 9 and %. 
One female Oedemagena (Hypoderma) tarandi L., was taken
