Exhibitions. 



Mr. C. G. Barrett exhibited for Mr. H. W. Yivian a 

 specimen of Xylophasia lateritia, Hufn., a species not hitherto 

 recorded in the British Islands, taken in South Wales by Mr. 

 W. E. R. Allen; also Deiopeia pulchetta, from the same dis- 

 trict ; Dianthecia luteago, var. barrettii, from one of the 

 islands off the Glamorganshire coast, and varieties of Eupi- 

 thecia virgaureata, much blackened, E. lariciata, E. satyr ata, 

 and E. exiguata taken in the county of Glamorgan by Mr. 

 Vivian. 



Mr. M. Jacoby exhibited specimens of Heliocop'is gigas, 

 L., from Mashonaland, and Silpha biguttata, Fairm., from 

 Patagonia. 



Sir George Hampson exhibited two females of an apterous 

 Lasiocampid from the Transvaal, with cocoon and ova, bred 

 by Colonel J. M. Fawcett, 5th Lancers. The larva is very 

 much like that of the British Lasiocampa rubi. The female 

 does not emerge from the cocoon, its antennae being aborted 

 and all the joints coalesced with a flabellate organ with slight 

 stride indicating the joints ; the fore tibia? short with traces of 

 tibial claws. The male is unknown, and as Colonel Fawcett 

 was on active service at the time of emergence, he was unable 

 to expose the females for the purpose of attracting the males. 



Mr. H. St. J. Donisthorpe exhibited specimens of Riperisa 

 tomlini, Newst., a coccid new to Britain, taken among Lasius
