Sv. Ak. Handl. (n. f.) iii. Bihang, No. v. pp. 90. He appends some ad- 
ditions to his former lists of Noctum and Geometree ; but no new genera 
or species are described. 
A. B. Haas has published the concluding portion of his catalogue of 
the Lepidoptera of Denmark, Nat. Tids. (3) x. pp. 1-56. He enumerates 
1234 species, as follows — Rhopalocera, 71, Sphinges, 32, Domhyces (in-

Japan. 
List of Japanese butterflies ; R. P. Murray, Ent. M. M. xiii. pp. 33-35

On the Lepidoptera of Batavia, M. C. Piepers & P.. C. T. Snellen, 
Tijdschr. Ent. xix. pp. 129-167. 81 Rhopalocera noticed, 5 as new. 
Piepers has observed assemblies of Pieridee seated on the damp sand in 
Celebes, and presenting the appearance of a flower. One was formed of 
two concentric rings of Callidryas scylla, with a centre of some white 
Picris, and another of Pieris zarinda, and a white Pieris. Ho has also 
observed Pap. helenus bathing. Tijdschr, Ent. xix. pp. xv.-xviii. 
Translated, C. A. Dohrn, S. E. Z. xxxvii. pp. 336 & 337. 
Further interesting remarks on the habits of East Indian Lepidoptera 
are given by Piepers, l.c. pp. xviii.-xxiv., and translated by O. A. Dohrn, 
S. E. Z. xxxvii. pp. 441-446. He has seen Precia iphita and a party of 
Pieridee mob and drive away a Papilio remus, as small birds drive away a 
hawk. A P. iphita returned to spend the night for six evenings in a 
verandah, being absent by day. In the mornings, Micro-Lepidoptera sit 
on the ends of grass-blades, &c., and creep down to the roots, when the 
dew dries off, while it is the reverse with the Lyemnidoe, which creep up 
from the roots of the plants into the sun, as it becomes stronger. Many 
Rhopalocera are twilight fliers, as Cyllo leda, Amathiisia phidippus, 
Casyapa thrax, Dehis euvopa, Elymnias nais, and several species of 
1876. [vOL. XIII.] I 10
