Exhibitions, de. 
Mr. Sealy, who had recently arrived from India, exhibited some fine 
examples of a species of Ornithoptera, bred from larve taken in Malabar, 
feeding on Aristolochia indica. 
Prof. Westwood exhibited drawings of several undescribed Coleoptera, of 
remarkable forms, of which it was his intention to forward descriptions to the 
Society. Amongst them was an insect from the collection of M. Mniszech, 
which bore a strong resemblance to a Rhysodes, and which he had named 
Rhysodina Mniszechii, but which was really a Heteromerous insect, 
Mr. M‘Lachlan remarked that the species of Lepisma exhibited at the 
last meeting by Mr. F. H. Ward, did not, on examination, correspond, as 
he expected, with the description of L. domestica, a common Species in the 
United States, nor did it coincide exactly with the descriptions of any of the 
other described species, so far as he had been able to compare them. 
Prof. Westwood said he had seen British examples of Lipura corticina, 
— Bourlet, on apple trees, though the insect was not included as British in 
Sir John Lubbock’s Monograph. 
Mr. C. O. Waterhouse exhibited a living specimen of Monohammus 
Heros bred in England from foreign timber. 
Dr. Sharp forwarded the following correction of an error in the third 
paper in the ‘ Transactions’ for 1873 :-— 
“ Herr Wehncke, of Harburg, has called my attention to an error I have 
committed in a paper on the water-beetles of J apan, published by the Society 
in the first part of its ‘ Transactions’ for 1873. The species described there 
by me under the name of Hydaticus japonicus (p. 48) is undoubtedly the 
Hydaticus Adamsi, Clark, while the species alluded to by me, in the same 
paper, as Hydaticus Adamsi, is the Hydaticus Bowringii, Clark. The 
error was occasioned by an unfortunate transference of name in a letter 
Mr. Lewis wrote to me after making an examination of Clark’s types.” 
Mr. Butler read the following review of Boisduval’s recently-published 
volume of the Suites 4 Buffon (Lepidopteres), containing the Sphingids 
(including Zygena, &c.) -—
