THE YOUNG NATURALIST. 



variety called JEJgerides, and the darker 

 form the type. This is so according to 

 Staudinger, but the dark form is called var. 

 Meone by Esper, and the Northern pale form 

 has always been called JEgeria in this 

 country. I could not think of altering a 

 name in Doubleday's catalogue on the 

 authority of Staudinger's catalogue only. 

 Perhaps it would have been better if I had 

 called the tawny variety Meone. — See Y.N., 

 Vol. II., p. 183. 



I am also assured by three or four 

 correspondents that Hepialus carnus does 

 occur in Scotland. This is what I wished 

 to guard young collectors against. The 

 true Carna of Esper, Camus of Och. occurs 

 only on the Alps. The unicolourous insect 

 taken in Scotland and elsewhere is the 

 variety Gallicus of Velleda, formerly called 

 var. Camus in error. It is as common as, 

 and I believe always occurs with the type. 



I will be glad of further comments on 

 the list.

anything but the variety occurs 



in Britain (Ireland). The type 



is larger, and the abdomen not 



so hairy as in the variety.

There are several Alpine varieties of 

 this species. Do any of them 

 occur in Britain ?

Dr. Staudinger considers this a vari- 

 ety of Lutarella, L,.,— Luteola, 

 Schiff. If it be so, the type does 



not occur with us.
