120 Address. [Feb. 



cf and Parnara uma 9 • Several moths are awaiting identification 

 by Col. Swinhoe. Difficulty is experienced in having the other orders 

 named. Only a very few of the Semiptera and Hymenoptera have been 

 identified and none of the others, of which considerable numbers have 

 been collected. 



The Journal of the Bombay Natural History Society contains 

 " Notes on a collection of Butterflies made in Burmah in 1885 and 1886," 

 by Lieut. E. Z. Watson ; " Hints on collecting Hymenoptera," and "on 

 some Bees and Wasps from Burmah," by Captain C. T. Bingham; 

 " On the Lepidoptera of Karachi and its neighbourhood, Part II, by 

 Col. C. Swinhoe ; " Butterflies and Ants," by L. de Niceville. 



The Annals and Magazine of Natural History contains several 

 papers on Entomology among which may be noted : — Mr. W. L. Distant's 

 description of new species of Oriental Cicadidce, preparatory to the 

 issue of his monograph on the Oriental Cicadidce, of which the first 

 part will appear this year at the expense of the Trustees of the 

 Indian Museum. Mr. A. G. Butler's papers, on Butterflies of the 

 genus Teracolus from Khandesh, and on three collections of Lepidoptera 

 made by Major Terbury in Upper India. Mr. C. 0. Waterhouse's " de- 

 scriptions of new species of the Coleopterous families Lucanidce, Cetoniidce, 

 and Buprestidce from South India." " Descriptions of new Genera and 

 Species of Lepidoptera Heterocera," from the Kangra District, by F. 

 Moore. Mr. 0. J. Gahan gives descriptions of some new Indian species 

 of Longicorn Coleoptera," compi'ising Monohammus auratus, M. bima- 

 culatus, M. griseatus ; also of Lamiide Coleoptera belonging to the Mono- 

 hammus group, containing new Indian and Asiatic species ; and of a 

 new species of the Longicorn genus Gyriocrates, (0. elegans) from Upper 

 Burma ; Mr. Pascoe describes some new Curculionidce, chiefly Asiatic. 



In the Transactions of the Entomological Society of London are papers 

 by Mr. A. G. Butler on the lepidopterous genus Euchromia, of which he 

 describes some new species from the Oriental and Austro-Malayan 

 regions. Mr. Elwes' valuable " Catalogue of the Sikkim Bhopalocera " 

 is enriched with additions and corrections and notes on the seasonal and 

 local distribution by the late Mr. Otto Miiller. Mr. W. L. Distant con-

 from Sikkim sent to him by Mr. E. T. Atkinson. Prof. Westwood

 terous genus Ascalaphus, founded chiefly on Ceylonese material com- 

 municated to him by Mr. J. Staniforth Green of Colombo ; Mr. F. 

 Merrifield reports progress in Pedigree Moth-breeding to the end of
