ZYGiENIDAil. 
(Inclusive of several genera entered under Lithosiidoi and Arctiidcn in 
previous Records.) 
. A. G. Butler has published a series of notes on the Zygcenidaiy de- 
scribing a great number of new genera and species; J. L. S. xii. 
pp. 342-433, pis. xxvii.-xxix. (neuration). He admits the following sub- 
families :~Zygcenince, Syntomince^ Thyretince, Phaudince, Euchromiince^ 
Eunomiince, Antichlorince, and CharideincB, from which the Ctenuchiince 
are, perhaps, not sufficiently distinct to form a separate sub-family. The 
Charideince are referred by him to the Arctiidce, but as the bulk of the 
species have hitherto been classed with the Zygcenidce^ we shall notice the 
entire paper under the present heading. 
Zygcena. Hybrid larvae of this genus have never been found by T. 
Goossens to survive the second moult ; Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. (5) vi. 
pp. 429-432. Z. nuhigena : its reported occurrence in Scotland ; W. A.

Procris. P. contraria^ Walk. (= Zygcena pectinicornis^ Schauf.), is a 
Neurosymploca^ and not congeneric with Zyg. concinna, Dalm. ; Z. 
acharon, Fabr., is a Procris ; P. nebulosa of Klug and Herr. Schaff. are 
identical ; P. suhdolosa, Walk., is a PoUanisus^ and Procris rufiventris. 
Walk., probably belongs to a new genus : A. G. Butler, 1. c. p. 343.
