of the 9th, nearly uniform in size; dorsal surface reddish 
brown; the 4th segment has four very small black dots, 
arranged transversely on the Sth, 6th, 7th and 8th segments ; 
these dots are arranged in pairs, the hinder pair being rather 
farther apart than the other two; the 9th segment bears a 
rounded protuberance of a colour slightly darker than that of 
the four preceding segments, and bounded anteriorly by a 
black band; the 10th, llth and 12th segments are of much 
the same shade as the main portion of the body, and have the 
four black dots nearer together longitudinally ;- the anterior 
pair on the 9th segment are situated just behind the black 
band; the posterior pair behind the protuberance. ‘The 
lateral skinfold is of a lighter shade of brown than the dorsal 
surface; the spiracles black, surrounded by a light-coloured 
ring. The claspers and anal flap are of the dark reddish 
brown of the 2nd and 3rd segments; on the ventral surface 
the 5th and 6th segments are marked with two large black 
spots, situated in close proximity to each other; the spots 
on the 7th, 8th and 9th segments are smaller and farther 
apart; the light shade of the lateral skinfold is continued on 
the posterior half of the ventral surface of the 5th, 6th, 7th 
and 8th segments, in the anterior portion of which the spots 
are situated. lam indebted to Mr. J.G. Ross, of Bathampton,

Pyrameis Huntera in South Devon.—A very beautiful 
specimen of this insect was taken by Miss Caroline L, Pole 
Carew on the 20th September, at Antony, near Torpoint. I 
had the great pleasure of seeing it on her setting-board this 
afternoon. On reference to ‘ Morris’s British Butterflies’ L

[The above notice of the capture of Pyrameis Virgeniensis, 
Dru. (= Huntera, Fadr.), is interesting, as showing how 
insects from far distant localities frequently occur as foreign 
visitors to this country. There are several previous records
