Leocyma, Guen. 

 Nearly allied to Pippona, Harvey, of which genus it is 

 probably the East Indian representative. 



Leocyma tibialis. 



Bomhyx tibialis, Fabricius, Syst. Ent. p. 578, n. 76 (1775). 



Leocyma diancB, Gnenee, Noct. ii. p. 213, n. 982 (1852). 



Chasmina glabra, Walker, Lep. Het. Suppl. 2, p. 636 (1865).

The genus Thiganusa, Walk., will take as its type Leocyma 

 apollinis, Guen., = T. euproctisoides. Walk., Lep. Het. Suppl. 3, 

 p. 979 (1865). Walker places the genus in the Ophiusidse ; but 

 although Guenee was wrong in confounding it with the other 

 species which he placed in Leocyma, it was a little nearer the 

 mark than where Walker placed it. The genus should be placed 

 near to Xanthodes = Acontia true. 



Leocyma judicata. 

 Acontia judicata, Walker, Lep. Het. xv. p. 1760 (1858).

ENTOMOLOGICAL NOTES, CAPTURES, &c. 



CiDARiA RETICULATA VARIETY. — Tliis seasou I have bred a fine large 

 specimen of the above. The centre of the fore wings black ; the elliptical 

 mark is only visible by a strong glass. I cannot describe it ; it looks like 

 an eclipse, with such an almost imaginary tracing of the mark which is so 

 conspicuous on the ordinary form. — J. B. Hodgkinson. 



Satyrus ianira, var. — At Morthoe, North Devon, on August 10th, 

 I took a " bleached " male Satyrus ianira, having about three-quarters of 

 the right hind wing (upper and under surface) almost colourless. — G. 

 Renshaw; Sale Bridge House, Sale. 



Variety op Lyc^na corydon. — Whilst butterfly-hunting near East- 

 bourne on the 5th of September last, I captured a curious variety of the 

 female of Lycana corydon. Both the anterior and posterior wings possess 

 the usual discoidal spot and marginal band of eye-like spots on the under 

 surface ; the colour, however, of the anterior wings is whitish, like the normal 

 colour of the under side in the male, and only three black spots — the lower 

 ones of those composing the usual row of seven — are visible. The posterior 

 wings are of a brownish colour streaked with white, and the only other 

 marking, besides the discoidal spot and marginal band, is the white sub- 

 median blotch. A somewhat similar variety is recorded from Lulworth, 

 Dorsetshire, by Mr. Alfred T. Stiff (Entom. xxii. 160). — H. D. Sykes ; 

 The Cedars, Enfield, Oct. 11, 1891.
