A Curious Cocoon. — Dr. Marshall exhibited a curious 

 flattened cocoon from S. Italy and the larva which had been 

 extracted from it, which superficially resembled a Hesperid. 

 In answer to his enquiry the Eev. F. D. Morice stated that 

 they were the larva and cocoon of a saw-fly nearly related 

 to Cimbex. 



Melanic Nolidae. — Dr. Cockayne exhibited a series of 

 Nola cucullatella, yav.fuliginalis, Steph., bred in June and July 

 1920 from Epping Forest larvae, together with type specimens 

 from the same locality, including the seven darkest. The 

 percentage of melanic specimens was 10%, 34 having been 

 bred out of a total of 339. He had bred 57 specimens of the 

 hymenopterous parasite Meteorus fragilis, Wesm., from this 

 species. He also exhibited a pair of N. confusalis type and a 

 pair of var. columbaria, Image, from the same locality to show 

 the parallel melanic variation. 



New Lepidoptera from Madagascar. — Mons. F. Le Cere 

 exhibited the following specimens : (1) a new species of 

 Lymantria, with flesh-coloured hind-wings washed with black 

 and grey ; (2) a pair of a new and very large species of Dasychira, 

 with black and white upper- and yellow under-wings, another 

 pair of which are in Mr. Joicey's collection ; (3) a new species 

 of Pinacopteryx belonging to the simana, Hofi., group, but 

 quite without black markings except at the apex; and (4) a 

 male Hyplimnas holina, L.,'from the interior of the island, east 

 of Mananjany, with strongly marked discoidal patches and 

 sub marginal spots.
