Secondarie-; pale grey, broadly bordered with blackish shading. 

 The remainder of the series showed various modifications of 

 the above-mentioned forms. 



Mr. Billups exhibited the following Diptera: — Chortophila 

 setacia, Mg., a species new to Britain, and captured by him- 

 self at Dulwich in June, 1890; Blcpharoptera inscripta, Mg., 

 male and female, the latter was taken at Oxshott in July, 1891, 

 and the former at Bromley in June, 1892 ; Heteroniyza atri- 

 cornis, Mg., a female taken at Oxshott, July, 1891. Neither 

 of the last-named species had previously been recorded as 

 British. Hypostena inedorina, Schnr., captured at Oxshott, 

 July, i8gi. Of this species Mr. Billups stated there was only 

 one other known specimen in Britain. This was bred in 

 1890 from Pczdisca sordidana, Hiibn., by Mr. Adkin, who 

 very generously placed it at his disposal. Sepsis pitnctuin^ 

 F., taken at Bromley in June, 1892, and Callomyia amcena, 

 Mg., taken at the same place. Both of these species were 

 extremely rare. 



Mr. Billups also exhibited, on behalf of Mr. Manger, a 

 small collection of Coleoptera and Homoptera from South 

 Australia, including, amongst others, Eunecta australis, 

 Er., Sphallomorpha albopicta, New., Natalis porcatus, Fabr., 

 Carenuin politinn, Odontopus ciipteus, Fab., Anoplognathus 

 pulchripes, Bur., Tetrabolus cylindrifoi'mis, Cand., Sisyrum 

 stigmosum, Pax., Unxia IcEta, Guer., Phoracantha senis, 

 New., Phoracantha seinipunctata, Lampruria inicardi, Reich. 

 Several species of Curculionidae, six species of Paropsis, 

 and two of Chrysomelidse, which were undetermined. The 

 Homoptera consisted of two species, i.e., Eiirymeta distincta, 

 Sig., and E. latifasciata, Wal. 



Mr. Hamm exhibited a selection of Lepidoptera, among 

 which were five varieties of Chrysophanus phlceas, L., (i) 

 intermediate between the type and var. schinidtii, Gerh., (2) 

 spots on the primaries much enlarged, (3) in which the 

 usual black spots were represented by three apical and 

 two costal dots only, (4) the red band on the hind-wing 

 interrupted, forming a regular series of marginal streaks, 

 (5) a dwarf specimen about two-thirds the normal size ; a 

 long series of Hybernia leucophcearia, Schiff,, showing light, 

 ordinary, white-banded, brown, and melanic forms ; a brood 

 oi Agrotis saucia, Hb., all the specimens of which were very 

 light, and ai^reed with the female parent form ; a variety of 

 Lithosia griseola, Hb., which was of a brown shade instead of 

 the usual leaden hue ; and lastly, a very striking var. of 

 Apaniea nnaniiins, Tr., having a light grey colour in the
