Hollingworth, T. S. — A selection of moths taken in southern France, the 

 Pyrenees and Corsica, including several microlepidoptera as yet unidentified. Nearly 

 all were caught in coastal or mountain habitats. 



Luckens, C. — A selection of butterflies from Europe, captured or bred in 1992 

 and 1993. (i) Butterflies collected in the Cevennes, Hautes Pyrenees and Drome in 

 late July 1993, including the local species Agrodiaetus dolus vittatus Oberth. (Cevennes) 

 and Agriades pyrenaicus Boisd. (Pyrenees). 



(ii) Three Cretan endemics: Kretania psylorita Freyer, Coenonympha thyrsis Freyer 

 and Zerynthia cretica Rebel, all encountered during a week spent on the island in 

 June 1993, at 1600 m on Mt Ida. 



(iii) Black-veined white, Aporia crataegi L.: four specimens of the original Kentish 

 butterflies; specimens from different localities in Europe, from low levels in Spain 

 to 1500 m in Switzerland; a series of eight specimens reared from two batches of eggs 

 found on Crataegus at c. 1400 m on Mt Chelmos, Peloponnese, Greece. The young 

 larvae were overwintered in an unheated greenhouse but otherwise kept outdoors 

 throughout. The resulting imagines were much larger than normal.

Ping, G. & Robinson, G. S. — Dudgeonidae from Borneo. Dudgeonidae is a small 

 family comprising the single genus Dudgeonea with nine species. Currently placed 

 in the Cossoidea, dudgeonids resemble cossids but possess an abdominal tympanal 

 organ. The genus is already known from Africa, Madagascar, NE India. W Malaysia. 

 New Guinea and northern Australia, and has now been discovered in Borneo. Little 

 is known of the biology of the group, but the Australian species Dudgeonea actinias 

 was reared by F. P. Dodd and his findings were reported by Turner \\ hen describing 

 the species. The larvae are stem-borers in Canthium attenuatum (Rubiaceae); just 

 before pupation the larva excavates a tunnel to the outside bark, leaving only a thin 

 layer of bark to cover the emergence hole. The pupa is protruded from the emergence 

 hole through this operculum prior to emergence of the adult. Dudgeonids are generally 

 extremely rare in collections. The species exhibited (Plate 1, Figs 12& 1 3) \\ as collected 

 by Glenn Ping at m.v. light at the edge of mangrove (Rfiizophora) forest on the
