108 THE entomologist's kecoku. 



nine species of Anpiresthia, only one J^itJiocolletis, L. qnercifoUeUa, two 

 Adela and two Micropterjj.c, etc., etc., are included; (2) A Bibliography 

 of the Entomology of Sweden in 1910-1913 ; (8) Notes on Lepidoptera 

 with figures of aberrations, and of the two or three terminal segments 

 of the pupffi of numerous species showing the distinct sexual differences, 

 a long article by David Ljungdahl; (4) Further contributions to a 

 knowledge of the Lepidoptera of Kronoberg, by J. A. L. Brundin ; (5) 

 F. Nordstrom commences a long series of notes on the species of 

 Swedish Lepidoptera which have come under his notice ; (6) A. Eoman 

 gives a general account of the Amazon region of Brazil from an 

 entomological point of view ; (7) R. Malaise contributes notes on a few 

 species of Noctuae and Geometrae which he met with around Stockholm ^ 



(8) Notes on aberrations of Noctuae and Geometers, by J. Meves ; and

" A Contribution to our Knowledge of the White Flies of the Sub- 

 family Aleurodinae {AleurocUdae)," by A. L. Quaintance and A. E 

 Baker, in the Proceedings of the U.S. Nat. Mus., consists of 110 pages 

 and 45 plates, with many text figures, and is an important paper on 

 these curious little flies. The descriptions are of the "uncomparative" 

 type as a rule, although the introduction to each genus contains an 

 analytical key to the species it includes. 



The Iri$h Naturalist for March contains an account of numerous 

 species of Irish Ichneumons from the pen of the Rev. W. F. Johnson, 

 M.A., who has worked at the entomology of Ireland so long and steadily 

 in more than one Order. 



P. J. Parrot, in the Bull. N. York Ag. Exp. Station, continues his 

 ' Miscellaneous Notes on Injui'ious Insects." In conjunction with H, 

 E. Hodgkiss he deals with — 1. Hyponomenta vwlinellus and H. padellus, 

 which have been introduced in quantity from Europe; 2. The Leaf- 

 weevil, Anametia (jranulata, which attacks the peach buds in many 

 districts; 3. The Peach -borer, Synanthedon pictipes, a clearwing moth; 

 4. The winter moth, E^rannis tiliaria ; and 5, the gooseberry fruit- 

 worm, Zophodia groisulariae, the larva of a species of saw^-fly. There 

 are good illustrations of the imagines, the larvae and the depredations 

 caused. 



The Ent. Mo. May. for March contains a very good portrait of the 

 late Chas. 0. Waterhouse, the well known Assistant Keeper in the 

 Entomological Department of the British Museum, S. Kensington. 



In the Entomoloyical News for March is the biography of Miss Emily 

 Morton, of New Windsor, U.S.A., whose experiments in crossing various 

 species of the Satiinmdae were much noted a quarter of a century ago. 

 We still have the specimens of the hj^brids between ceoopia and yloveri, 

 cecropia and ceanothi, etc., sent us at that time. The same number 

 contains a long contribution on the Giant Katydids (Steirodontia) of 

 America, with one plate. 



M. Mabille continues to describe new Hesperiidae. In the March 

 Bull. Soc. Ent. France, in conjunction with M. Boullet, he introduces 

 a considerable number of new species from Africa. 



In the Ent. for March Mr. W. Mansbridge describes a new variation 

 of Aplecta nehulosa, which he breeds in about 1 to 3 per cent, each 

 year, as var. pluiubosa. He states that it varies from leaden-grey to 

 fuscous-grey in ground colour but is never black. The larvse were 

 on each occasion obtained from Delamere Forest.
