Mr. Robert Adkin exhibited (i) a series of Tortrix pronn- 

 bana, Hb., reared from larvae and pupae that he had collected 

 from Euonymus at Eastbourne, in September last. These 

 were the first specimens known to have been reared in this 

 country, the only previous records of the species in Britain 

 being a single male captured at Eastbourne and another at 

 Bognor, both in the autumn of 1905 ; (2) a variety of 

 Argynnis aglaia in which the usual black markings were 

 much intensified, and the outer row of black spots united 

 with the sub-marginal row of black crescents, thus forming 

 a row of elongated patches near the margins of both fore and 

 hind wings. The green coloration of the under-sides of the 

 hind wings also was extended in area, and the sub-marginal 

 row of silver spots increased in size. The specimen was 

 captured at Brighton in July last ; (3) an asymmetrical 

 variety of Macroglossa stcllatarum in which the two transverse 

 lines of the left fore wing were united into an irregular black 

 patch, obliterating the discoidal spot. The specimen was 

 reared from a larva found at Shoreham, Sussex, during the 

 past summer. 



Mr. T. W. Hall exhibited some varieties of Arctia villica, 

 including three specimens showing large white patches on the 

 fore wings, and a fourth with very smoky hind wings. He 

 also showed specimens of a Eupithccia, probably either 

 minutata or assimilata, but which apparently showed the 

 characteristics of each. 



Dr. Hodson exhibited varieties of (1) Agriades {Lyccena) 

 covydon, including a dull grey form of the S, and a 6 

 with light outer margins; (2) Polyommatiis (Lycana) icarus, 

 with large blotches of black replacing the orange of the 

 sub-marginal markings on the under-sides of the hind wings; 

 and (3) Aricia (Lyccrna) agcstis (astrarche), a form with the 

 markings along the outer margins conspicuously wedge- 

 shaped. 



Mr. Sich exhibited two specimens, with cases, of a species 

 of Coleophora, which may perhaps be Zeller's C. milvipennis. 

 The specimens are nearest to C. badiipennella, but are more 

 silky-looking, and the case of the larva is quite different in 

 appearance, and has three valves at the posterior end, while 

 that of C. badiipennella has only two. The late Mr. Barrett 

 added C. milvipennis to the British fauna. 



He also exhibited German specimens of the following 

 species, which are extreme rarities in this country : Valeria 

 oleagina ; Catephia alchymista ; Eubolia mceniaria ; and 

 Aplasia ononaria.
