‘‘T put also a Goante ¢ for comparison with the Stygne, with 
which it is almost identical on the upper side. 
“1, These specimens are, individually considered, less re- 
moved from Mid-European forms than the var. Hispanica. 
“2. Nevertheless they approach each other at least quite as 
closely as the Hispanica do. 
“3, They especially do this, by an alteration in the form of 
the rusty patch, which is unusual to either species and more 
like Goante or Neoridas. 
“4, Since Guadarrama is further from Mid-Europe than 
Canales, var. Hispanica must be regarded as more local than 
necessarily Spanish. 
‘**5. Perhaps the most important point is that though they 
‘do it by a somewhat different variation, they keep to the 
Spanish role of the two species of associating together and 
resembling each other, a feature very rare or unknown in 
Mid-Europe. 
“Tf itis permissible to found named varieties on single speci- 
mens, I would suggest that they be called petalarxe. LF. evias 
var, penalare, differs from var. hispanica in having all three 
apical ocelli equally developed, and the rusty band less yellow. 
I think it is very possible however that a further series would 
render it impossible to distinguish Petalarex from Hispanica. 
Lf. stygne var. penalare. This does not resemble any named, 
or, so far as I am aware, known, variety in its most marked 
peculiarity, the straight inner margin of the rusty band, I 
should expect further specimens to agree in this and so make 
this var. a well-defined race.” 
THE PRESIDENT communicated a paper by Mr. G. F. Leigh 
entitled “‘Synepigonic series of Papilio cenea (1902-3) and of 
Hypolimnas misippus (1904) together with observations on 
the life-history of the former” and exhibited specimens to 
illustrate the same. 
Mr. Epwarp Saunvers, F.R.S., F.L.S., communicated a 
paper on ‘‘ Hymenoptera Aculeata from Majorca (1901) and 
Spain (1901-2).”
