posticis magis versicoloribus." In the mountains of Sinin-Schan and 

 Dshachar. 



Sfcaudinger considered this very like ccuicasica, generally smaller, 

 but quite distinct from its locality. 



Riibl gives Thibet as a further locality (p. 796).

Lepidopterology.* 



By T. A. CHAPMAN, M.D., F.E.S. 



This volume continues the Lepidopterous Fauna of Barbary, and 

 contains Arctiidae, Lithnsiidae, Nolidae, (!yi)ibidae, Hepialidae, and 

 Conidae, and contains plates of Sphingidae and Bomhycidae treated in 

 Facs. xii. Seven species in the list occur in Britain. The text runs 

 to '-54 pages, with 22 plates, including two of interesting forms of C. 

 nicaea, one of Oir/yia dubia (with var. splendida), one of 0. tiigotephras, 

 five of La.nocaiupa trifolii, with many remarkable races and varieties. 

 A few Thibetan Drepanidae take half a plate. Three plates of the 

 species of Somahraclu/ft, and two of Procris. Two plates of Lycaena 

 arion and its allies, European and other, two plates of Arctiids, Litho- 

 siids, etc., include a short series of /-•. fidiyiiwsa, of which one, a 

 Tunisian form {faliyinosa-hroinnira, Obth.) has a breadth of wing 

 almost suggesting that it belongs to another genus. 



The second portion of the Fascicule is Professor Huelbert's Diag- 

 noses of New Castnias, with rectifications of names incorrectly used. 

 It consists of 36 pp. with six figures in five photographic (black and 

 white) plates of new species. M. Culot's work maintains its admirable 

 execution. 



JgdOTES ON COLLECTING, Etc. 



EuvANEssA poLYCHLORos IN LoNDON. — As an interesting incident in 

 London entomology you may care to record that I caught a E. poly- 

 chloros on the dining-room window of this house this morning. — G. C. 

 Turner, 49, Cleveland Square, W. 2. May '2nd, 1917. 



PsYCHiDEs. — I should like to call attention to two points in Mr. 

 Burrow's communication in the Record, vol. xxix., p. 69. Mr. Burrows 

 has overlooked the fact that I showed that opacella, H.-S., is atra, L., 

 in a note in the Record, vol. xiv., p. 57. That certain specimens should 

 be deposited at ^outh Kensington was hardly a stipulation of mine, 

 except in so far tnat I expressed to Mr. Burrows my opinion that his 

 collection of preparations of genitalia would find there their proper 

 resting place. — T. A. Chapman, Betula, Reigate. 



Correction. — In my plate figures 17 and 18 are wrongly described 

 as cases of Luffia la/iidella. Mr. Whittle tells me that they were mis- 

 identified and are really those of L. ferwhaultella. — C. R. N. Burrows. 



Notes on Lepidoptera in North Yorks, etc., in 1916. — I had very 

 little opportunity for doing much entomological work in the past 

 season owing to engagements of much more importance in the serious
