Smerinthus 



populi. 

 Hepialus 



velleda. Dark. 



Var. carnus. Beautiful. 



humuli. 



Zygena minos. A fine series. The good specimens are what 

 we call Nubigena, the bad ones represent what was called 

 Minos : all are Minos. I compared them carefully with 

 my rather long series of Minos in my continental col- 

 lection, from Zeller, Ragonot, &c.

 Rumia 



cratasgata. 

 Metrocampa

 Several specimens with odd wings, one side normal the 

 other wanting, or with extra zonale markings. A new 

 locality for this species, County Antrim, March and 

 April.
