Addenda relating to the Amorphids. 



Amorpha hybr. in versa, Tutt (page 395). 



We have (anted, pp. 395 — 396) thrown some doubt on the parentage 

 of certain moths said to have been bred from $ A. populi X 2 S. ocellata. 

 Since we wrote our notes on the species, Standfuss has successfully 

 reared two imagines of this crossing, one March 20th, 1902, the other 

 May nth, 1902, from pupae obtained in the autumn of 1901, a pairing 

 on June 25th — 26th, 1901, having yielded 18 larvae, only two of 

 which pupated. The imagines are nearer A. populi than are normal 

 examples of Smerinthus hybr. hybridus, but yet have unmistakable 

 traces of the ocellated spot of S. ocellata on the hindwings (see Ent. 

 Rec., July, 1902). 



MIMAS TILDE (page 401). 



Variation. — Standfuss has made ( Insekten-Borse, xix., p. 

 163) various experimental crossings directed to ascertaining the 

 respective influence of the progeny of phylogenetically older and 

 newer forms, when crossed — (i) Within the limits of a single species. 

 (2) Different species of the same genus. (3) Different genera. 

 Under the first heading he gives the following statistics for M. tiliae
