" Sub-faui. Larentiin.e. 



" ' Hydriomciia' snbochraria, Doubleday. — A pair, smaller 

 and paler than my series from Victoria, etc. Is one of the 

 few Australian species which occur also in New Zealand. 

 This and the following [pace Meyrick !) can hardly be really 

 related to the European Hydriomcna. 



" 'i^.' uncinata Guenee.^Seven males, three females — an 

 interesting series of this very variable species, always recog- 

 nisable by its peculiar shape, the costa of fore-wmg being 

 strongly curved near apex, the apex itself subfalcate. You 

 sorted them into four or five forms, according to colour, 

 width of central band, strength of black dots on the veins, 

 etc. The females are generally broader-banded than the 

 males. 



'^ Xanthorhoc snbidaria, Guenee. — Three males. Another 

 variable species, combining in many respects the aspect of 

 its European congeners X. ferrttgata and A\ ninnitata. 



" Siib-fam. BoARMiiN^. 



" Trochistis lithodora, Meyrick. — One male." 

 Mr. Sich read a paper entitled, " The Middlesex Home of 

 Clausilia biplicata,^' being a description of the old garden 

 and its lepidopterous products at Chiswick, where his early 

 years were spent (p. 27). 



OCTOBER i^f/i, 1910. 



Mr. W. West, of Greenwich, exhibited a short series of the 

 Homopteron Limotettix stictogala, beaten from tamarisk, at 

 Deal, at the end of September, and stated that the species 

 was apparently extending round the east coast. 



Mr. Tonge exhibited photographs of the imagines of 

 Vanessa io and Pyramcis atalanta at rest, and of the young 

 larvae of Celastrina argiolus attacking buds of the ivy. 



Mr. Newman exhibited three melanic specimens of Bryo- 

 phila perla from Folkestone ; a specimen of A nthrocera trifolii in 

 which the pink-red markings were suffused over the whole of 

 the wings with the exception of a margin of black all round ; 

 an example of Spilosonia nientliastri with numerous spots 

 joined up by lines, and approaching the form walkeri ; 

 several varieties of Abraxas grossnlariata, including one in 

 which the black markings were largely wanting, especiall}-
