LEPIDOPTERA. 
A. Works m progress. 
Hewitson, W. C. Exotic Butterflies^ being illustrations of new 
species; with coloured drawings and descriptions. Parts 
61-64 : Januar}^ to October 1867. 
■ . Illustrations of Diurnal Lepidoptera. — Part III. Ly- 
csenidse. London : Van Voorst^ 1867. 4to, pp. 77-114, 
pis. 31-46. 
The third part of this work, which appeared in 1867, is en- 
tirely occupied by descriptions and figures of species of the genus 
Theda, of which the author here brings the number to 164. 
. Descriptions of One Hundred new Speeies of Hes- 
peridse. Part. I. London : Van Voorst, 1867, pp. 25. 
In this part Hewitson publishes short descriptions of 50 spe- 
cies of Ilesperiides in order to secure the right of priority. He 
says himself that he considers these descriptions, unaided by 
figures, more than worthless and, after this acknowledgment, 
it may be questionable whether the claim of priority would hold 
good if any of the species be recognizably described and figured 
by another author before Hewitson has the opportunity of pub- 
lishing them in his ^Exotic Butterflies.^ 
Stainton, H. T. The Natural History of the Tineina. Vol. x. 
containing Gelechia, part 2. 8vo, pp. ix & 304, with 8 
plates. London : Van Voorst, 1867. 
This volume of Stainton’ s great work on the Tineina, which 
completes his first series of ten volumes, is devoted to a second 
series of 24 species of the genus Gelechia, which are described 
and figured in all their stages in the same way us the species no- 
ticed in former volumes. This volume also contains a general 
account of the genus Gelechia.

Tome i. Paris, 1867, pp. 251, with 18 coloured plates. 
The object of this work, which the Recorder has not seen, is 
sufficiently indicated in its title as given above. According to 
a notice in Guerin’s ^ Magasin de Zoologie,’ the work has been 
well executed by its author, and is especially rich in information 
as to the habits of the insects and the localities frequented by 
them. The figures by T. Deyrolle are also spoken of in terms
