Exhibitions, SfC. 



Mr. W. C. Boyd exhibited a number of skins of larvae of Lepidoptera, admirably 

 prepared by Mr. Davis, of Waltham Cross, so as to preserve both the form and colour 

 of the caterpillars. 



Mr. Trimen exhibited a crippled specimen of Saturnia Pavonia-minor, which, 

 owing probably to the form and smallness of the box in which it was con- 

 fined, had attempted to emerge from its cocoon tail-foremost, but failing in the 

 attempt was found fixed with its head in contiguity with the head of the pupa- 

 skin. 



Dr. Wallace, of Colchester, offered to send eggs of the Japanese oak-feeding silk- 

 worm, Bombyx Yamamai, to any Member of the Society. 



Mr. Stainton drew attention to the plate illustrating a paper entitled " Histoire 

 d'une Chenille mineuse des feuilles de vigne, extraite d'une lettre ecrite de Malte a 

 M. de Reaumur," published in the ' Memoires de l'Acadeinie Royale des Sciences de 

 Paris,' in 1750. The habit of the footless larva which attacked the vine in Malta and 

 produced a small moth was so carefully described and pourtiayed by M. Godeheu de 

 Riville, that there was no difficulty in recognizing it as congeneric with the footless 

 larvae of Antispila Treitschkeella and Pfeifferella, and Mr. Stainton some time since 

 proposed the name of Antispila Rivillii, in the hope that the species would be again 

 detected in some of the vine-growing districts of Southern Europe. To the present 

 day, however, the moth remains unknown, and the larva is known only by the record 

 of M. de Riville. 



Mr. Hewitson communicated the following note on Tachyris Jacquinotii (see 

 Trans. Eut. Soc. 1868, p. 99) :— 



" I find, from a recent visit to the Jardin des Plantes, in Paris, that the Pieris 

 described by Lucas under the name Jacquinotii is nothing more than a highly- 

 coloured variety of P. albina, and when Mr. Wallace went over my collection I under- 

 stood that he considered it as such. It does not come, as stated by Lucas, from New 

 Guinea, but from New Caledonia, and has not, as I suggested, any relation with the 

 South-American P. Isandra."
