REPORT ON ZOOLOGY, MDCCCXLII : 
posterior strongly produced at the anal angle, the abdomen very long, 
with a thick pencil of hairs at the end ; the fly has very much the 
appearance of the Pyralidce, but the author finds a nearer alliance to 
the genera Ophiiisa and Ophideres; the species I. umhrina, is a new 
discovery from Sylhet. 
GEOMETRiDiE. — Freyor (Beitr.) has made known several new German 
species : Gnophos falconaria, Fr. (t. 377), from the Alps ; Larentia 
lariciata, with its caterpillar, which is found on larch trees (t. 366) ; and 
L. arceuthata, with its caterpillar, on the juniper (t. 372). 
Numeria agaritharia, Dardoin, is a new French species, the cater- 
pillar of which is found on the Ulex (Ann. d. 1. Soc. Ent. d. Fr. xi. 
p. 201, t. 8, f 3, 4). 
Guen^e (ibid. p. 243) has observed, that in the summer-brood of 
Ennomos illunaria, the male moth only is slightly sprinkled with 
atoms, and the ground colour is a yellow varying into rose-red ; on the 
under side, the brighter lines are rose-red instead of white ; the female, 
instead of grey-green, is ochre-yellow; the lines of the under wings 
rusty-yellow, often scarcely observable, and the fringes of all the wings 
are a lively rust-yellow; both sexes also are somewhat smaller. A 
similar proportion is found in illustraria. He is inclined to consider 
delunaria, Hiib., as a corresponding variety of lunaria. 
Freyer (Beitr.) has figured the following, with the caterpillars and 
pupae : Boarmia sociaria, Hiib., found on Spartium scoparium (t, 348) ; 
Acidalia certartia, Fr. {cervinata and certata, Hiib.), on the barberry, 
the caterpillar very unlike the A. dubitaria, Fr. (dubitata, Hiib.), the 
fly of which it closely resembles ; it lives on white and black thorns 
(t. 402) ; Acid, dilutaria (t. 408). 
Some new species from West Russian Asia have been made known by 
Eversmann (Bull. Mosc. 1842, p. 556), and Freyer (Beitr.) ; Ennomos 
effractaria, sareptaria, Fr. (t. 353) ; Fidonia badiaria, Fr. (t, 354) ; 
Gnophos lapidisaria, Fr. (t. 353) ; Acidalia albidentaria, Fr. (t. 354) ; 
A. stramentata, appensata, affectata, Ev. ; Cidaria pulchraria, Ev. 
(t. 6, f. 9, Fr. p. 390) ; Zerene albidata, Ev. (t. 6, f. 10). 
Zerena fasciaris and Eubolia indicaria, Guerin (Deless. Souv. ii. 
p. 96, t. 26, f. 5, 4), are two new Geometridce from the Nilgherries. 
Pyralid^. — Some new species, from West Russian Asia, have been 
described by Eversmann (Bull. Mosc. 1842, p. 558) : Herminia rectalis, 
Pyralis noctualis, Botys languidalis, Choreutes pullulalis, Pyrausta 
atro-sanguinalis, peltalis (t. 6, f. 11), furvalis (f. 12), arundinalis 
(f. 13), Hercyna scabralis. 
Tortricidje. — Fischer von Rdsslerstamm (Abbild. t. 98), has given 
an exact representation of Tortrix Icevigana, W. Vz. Eversmann 
(BuU. Mosc. 1842, p. 562) has described Totrix gilvana and hydrar- 
gyrana (t. 6, f. 14), from West Russian Asia.
