REPORT ON ZOOLOGY, MDCCCXLII : 
(perhaps a variety of 8pJi. pectinicornis, L., tiberina, Cr.) ; distincta, 
from Malacca ; ajinis, ibid., and Pondicherry ; also Hazis malayanus, 
from Malacca; Euchelia gratiosa, Callimorpha ? Marchalii, Arctia 
montana, and indica, from the Nilgherries. 
Bombyces. — Joly (Rev. Zool. p. 115) has given a notice of a plague of 
caterpillars of the Liparis dispar, in the oak woods in the neighbour- 
hood of Toulouse, in the years 1837, 38, 39. 
Freyer (Beitr.) has given figures of the earlier states of Harpyia 
bicuspis (t. 363), and Notodonta querna (t. 387). He has (ibid. t. 380) 
pointed out the ditierence between Lithosia complana, griseola, au- 
reola, luteola, helveola, and depressa. 
A new North African species. Bomb, philopalus, from Constantine, 
has been described and figured by Donzel (Ann. d. 1. Soc. Ent. d. Fr. 
xi. p. 198, t. 8, f. 2). 
Guerin (Deless. Souv. ii. p. 91, t. 27) has described three new species 
from the Nilgherries, which are nearly allied to each other: Bomb, 
fiavicollis, collaris, and Adolphei. 
Noctuid^. — Doubleday has given a list of the Noctuidce, natives of 
England, according to Guenee’s division (Entomologist, p. 297). 
European Noctuidce, some newly characterized, and others previously 
not figured, have been figured by Freyer (Beitr.) and Germar (Faun. 
Ins. Europ.) ; Cymatophora Untea, Fr. (t. 370), from Turkey; Agrotis 
velum, Kuhlw. (Germ. t. 13), erupta, Kulhw. (Germ. t. 15), murina, 
Fr. (t. 364), are German species ; A. fusca, Boisd. (Fr. t. 393), and 
cataleuca, Boisd. (Fr. t. 399), from the mountains of the south of 
Europe; A. Heydenreichii (Germ. 1. 14), from Dalmatia, figured by Fr. 
(t. 393) as Iladena fatidica, Hiibn. Hadena amentata. Germ. (t. 16), 
from Sicily ; Onspurgeri (dentina, var.), Boisd. (Fr. t. 394), from Swit- 
zerland ; arctica, Boisd. (Fr. t. 394), from Lapland ; Miselia nisus, 
Germ. (t. 18), from Sicily; Mamestra cervina, G. (t. 19), from Iceland; 
Mythimna alliacea, G. (t. 20), and Gortyna xanthenes, G. (t. 22), from 
Sicily; Leucania jiava (Fr. 370), L. montium, Boisd. (Fr. t. 395), 
L. Andereggii, Fr. (t. 395), L. zece, Boisd. (Fr. t. 406), L. caricis, Fr. 
(t. 401), and Xylina nux, Fr. (t. 370), from Hungary; Gleophana 
Laudeti, Fr. (t. 395), from Switzerland ; Anthophila cretula, Fr.(t. 360), 
from Ragusa; A. signalis, Fr. (t. 360), from Hungary (Ofen). 
Bentley (Entomologist, p. 254, 317) has given some critical remarks 
on different species of Agrotis and Caradrina. 
Freyer (Beitr.) has figured the following Noctuidce, with their cater- 
pillars : — N. Solaris (t. 345) ; luctuosa (t. 346), of which the caterpillar, 
having sixteen feet, differs widely from that of the former with only twelve 
feet, and agrees generally with that of the following, N. leucomelas 
(t. 347), so that the luctuosa must be removed from the genus Acontia 
to Catephia ; all the three are found upon the Convolvuli. Cucullia
