Phibalapicryx lapidata, reared from ova (Glas.i^ow). The 

 larva;, which hatched in March, were ied on Clematis jack- 

 vianui, pupated during May, and the moths emerged in 

 September. The insect assumes a very "pug "-like attitude 

 when at rest; and when freshly emerged the coloration 

 seemed to be of a darker brown than it is now. 



Oria (Synia) uuiscnlosa, Hb. — Three specimens taken in the 

 Salisbury district during August, 1909, by Mr. H. Haynes. 



Crocallis elingiiaria, ab. — The fore-wings of a uniform pale 

 reddish-brown colour; the discal mark as usual, but the 

 transverse lines pale and indistinct. 



The Rev. F. D. Morice exhibited a collection of Palsearctic 

 Hymenoptera, and gave an interesting account of the char- 

 acteristics and habits of the various groups and most attrac- 

 tive species. The selection included about 300 of the most 

 conspicuous and handsome European and Mediterranean 

 species among the sawflies, chrysids, ants, fossorial wasps, 

 and Diploptcrn (true wasps). A very few specimens were 

 shown from other groups {CynipidcE, etc.). 



Mr. H. W. Andrews exhibited a unicolorous gre}- form 

 of the Dipteron Proscna syhnrita, F., taken in Beesfield Valley, 

 N. Kent, July 30th, 1910, and lacking the usual yellow abdo- 

 minal markings, with typical forms for comparison. 



Mr. West, of Ashtead, exhibited an album containing a 

 large collection of photographs of micro-fungi. 



Mr. Stanle}' Edwards exhibited the following species from 

 West Africa (<31d Calabar, Ashanti, etc.), nearly all of which 

 are noticeable as having very strongly developed sexual 

 dimorphism : Cymothoc theodoia, C. amilius, C. sangaris, 

 C. iheobcne, C. cccnis, and Euryphene arcndhis. 



Mr. W. West, of Greenwich, exhibited his collection of 

 Homoptera, including many rare and local species. 



Mr. Masters exhibited a specimen of Pyrauieis aialanta, 

 taken some years ago in Jersey, a remarkable aberration, in 

 which the colour was blotched and confused in a most unusual 

 manner, comparable only with some of the extreme forms 

 produced in recent temperature experiments with the species. 



Mr. Blenkarn exhibited a specimen of the genus Ephyra, 

 and contributed the following note : " On October 20th 

 last I took from a shop window, under one of the arc lamps 

 in Beckenham High Street, a specimen of an Ephyra, 

 which I could not then recognise. I have since shown it 

 to Mr. Newman, who is of the opinion it is a variety of the 

 second generation of Ephyra linearia." 



The Rev. J. E. Tarbat exhibited four specimens of a light
