flifferent from the androconia of North American 

 Dryadinae, (— AcidaUa Hbn., 1816, Type: cyhcleY. 

 Some 50 named forms in the American and agluki 

 L., alexandm Men., dam Bl. in tbe palaearctie sec- 

 tion.), they are yet nearer these arrowshaped, 

 two-color androconia than to the palaearctie hair- 

 fihaped kinds, to which they bear iio resemblance. 

 Thus the separate Continents have "their" peculiar 

 androconia ! 



The very numerous various-sized tectile scales, 

 the largest of which are longer than the androconia 

 and a third the width of the common scales, are of 

 the general wing color with a rounded or forked 

 apex (vide antea). 



5. Sexual armature. a) Tegumen. This ends in 

 a simple, curved and pointed hock much like in 

 Rafhora Moore and Kähmthulklla m. (= Boloria 

 part.), Type: gemmata Btlr. The hook is not cleft or 

 double as in BrentUs Hbn., Boloria Moore (Type : pales) 

 and Clossiana m. (~ Boloria part.), Type : selme Schiff. 



b) Valvae. These consist eaeh of a Single chi- 

 tinous membrane or plate, only narrowly turned in 

 or folded along the lower raargin to the apex and 

 are nearly circular in shape. They compare better 

 with Enptoida valvae than with those of any other 

 genera. 



The Upper raargin is chitinised raore strongly 

 near the tegumen, where it projed.i inwards, thorn- 

 like in dcmmciii', but rounded off in ci/thcris and 

 inca; it is not ciirlcd or fohled inwards and there 

 fastened down like in all other genera with which 

 f.i/lheris has been connected heretofore. Just before 

 the apex the upper margin again becomes horn-like 

 and develops a streng forked hook (two points!) 

 turning inwards and downwards over the lower 

 marginal fold. One of the two jioints — the distal 

 one — almost rests against the aforesaid-fold 

 (c/ftheris, de.rauieiie or Darwhii) while the proximal 

 hook turns off at right angles, pointing inwards. 

 In iiica the points of the hook are short and claw- 

 like, but otherwise there is no essential diiference. 



Thus the valvae and tegumen agree in all three 

 Speeles in their general primitive design, the details 

 of which, compared with any in any groups of 

 related species, easily bring thera together under 

 the new generic heading'). It will next be necessary 

 to show up the genera of the northern Dri/adhi/ie, 

 within which the southern ci/flicris was first described, 

 on the same background of details for comparison.

Entoniolügische Neuigkeiten. 



Die Gallen von Rhusglabra werden von Chippaway- 

 Indianern zu medizinischen Zwecken verwendet. Die 

 Medizinmänner sammeln sie im Spätsommer und be- 

 nützen sie als ein Mittel gegen Diarrhoe, aber auch 

 zu Pflastern zur Heilung von Brandwunden scheinen 

 sie zu dienen. Die Gallen enthalten Tannin und wirken 

 zusammenziehend. 



In einer Flasche mit Milch, die fest verkorkt war, 

 fanden sich eines Tages einige dreißig Gebilde, die 

 aussahen wie Samen einer Pflanze, am Glas befestigt. 

 Bei der Untersuchung stellte es sich heraus, daß man 

 es hier mit den Puppen einer Drosophila-Art zu tun 

 hatte. Die Fliegen müssen ihre Eier in die Flasche 

 gelegt haben, als diese entleert irgendwo herumlag, 

 wahrscheinlich zogen die in ihr enthaltenen Reste 

 sie an — die Larven haben sich dann in der wieder 

 gefüllten Flasche ausgebildet und zu Puppen ver- 

 wandelt. Da die Nachforschung mehrere weitere 

 derartige Gläser ergab, muß die Reinlichkeit in dem 

 betreffenden Betrieb nicht groß gewesen sein.
