Italy. 
A. Curo has published an attempt at a catalogue of the Lepidoptera of 
Italy (Bull. Ent. Ital. vi. pp. 3-26, 106-123, 201-218, 315 & 310), com- 
prising the RJiopalocera. A good list of authorities is given. Italy is 
treated geographically, rather than politically, and taken to include tho 
whole southern slope of the Alps, and also Corsica. Four zones of distri- 
bution are recognized, the North, Central, Southern, and Insular, the last 
including Corsica and Sardinia ; and tables are given, showing the num- 
ber of species belonging to each family of Lepidoptera which occur in 
each zone, as well as the total number found in Italy and Europe. Italy 
possesses 1511 Macro- and 1312 Micro- Lepidoptera, out of the 2381 and 
2600 known European species ; but the Italian Micro- Lepidoptera are not 
well known at present. The remarks in the body of the paper on 
varieties, larvae, &c., are of more than local interest.
