Snellen refers to the condition of the first vein in the hind wings of the 
Platypterycides. It is entirely wanting only in Plat, lacertinaria (Linn.), and 
very rudimentary in P. cuUraria (Fab.), hinaria (Ilfn.), curvatula (Borlch.), 
rmdi falcataria (Ijinn.). In P. sicida (Il.-Sch.) no trace of this vein is to bo 
seen by moistening the wing with turpentine ; but it is rendered distinct by 
this process in Cilix rttffa (lArm. — spinida, auct.). Tijdschr. voor Entom.

Grote indicates the synonymy of Limacodcs viridis (Reakirt), which belongs 
to Packard’s genus Calloeldora, and is identical with C. vernata (Pack.), over 
which it has the advantage of one month’s priority. Proc. Ent. Soc. Phil, 
vol. iv. p. 322. 
Grote states that his Parathyris angelica is identical with Apatelodes Tiya-

Chdepteryx collesi (G. R. Gray) is described with its transformations in 
Scott’s Australian Lepidoptera, pp. 21-23, pi. 7. 
Anisota. Grote and Robinson state, from an examination of spirit speci- 
mens, that A. ruhicunda does not possess characters justifying its separation 
from the other species. Proc. Ent. Soc. Phil. vol. iv. p. 223. 
The relations of Liparis eremita to L. monacha are discussed by Berce and 
Bellier de la Chavignerie in Bull. Soc. Ent. Fr. 1805, p. xlvi. , 
Lucas describes the caterpillar and cocoon of a gigantic species, probably 
of Lasiocampa, received from Guinea. The caterpillar is more than 7 inches 
long, and covered with spines which readily penetrate the skin. H. Deyrolle 
mentions his having seen the caterpillar at the Gaboon, and gives a very im- 
perfect account of the moth. Bull. Soc. Ent. Fr. 1805. 
Ballion enumerates twenty-nine species of this group in his Catalogue of

One species, an undetermined Platypteryx, is described, but not named. 
Strom (Naturh. Tidsskr. 3rd ser. iii. pp. 44-47) enumerates three species 
of Orgyia, namely O. antiqua, gonostigma, and ericce, as inhabiting Denmark, 
and describes their transformations.
