neighbourhood of Briinn. 
Bombycid^. 
Tlie Cuban species of this family are noticed by Herrich- 
Scliaflnr (Corr.-Blatt zool.-min. Ver. Regensb. xx. pp. 132-- 
134). Perophora (Harris) is referred by him to the Satur- 
niides. 
Bombycides. 
Adelocephala. Grote k Robinson (Trans. Amer. Ent. Soc. i. pp. 7, 8) dis- 
cuss the characters of this genus, of which they describe 2 new species and 
figure A. hicolor (pi. 1. figs. 3 k ^) — Dryocampa bicolor (Harr.). 
Cither bnia. Grote k Robinson (Ann. Lyc. Nat. Hist, New York, viii. 
pp. 379-387) discuss the species of this genus, of which they give the syno- 
nymy in detail. They figure C. regalis (Hiibn.), 1. c. pi. 12. fig. 1, and C. 
scpulcralis (Gr. k Rob.), pi. 12. figs. 2 & 3. 
Girard (Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 4® s6r. vi. pp. 666-667) notices an example of 
the albino variety of Bomhyx castremis described under the name of taraxa-^ 
coides by Bellier de la Chavignerie. His specimen shows a more complete 
uniformity of tint than those described by the last-mentioned author, but, 
like them, it is a 5 • 
Lasiocampa trifolii. Bond notices a variety of this species. Proc, Ent.

E. Ballion describes and figures an hermaphrodite of Endromis mrsicolora

Christoph (Stett. ent. Zeit. 1867, pp. 240-242) describes the development 
of Bomhyx eversmanni, which, from the characters and mode of life of the 
larva, he is led to regard as a distinct species. He thinks that JB. codes is also 
specifically distinct, but that B. ratamce and terreni are local varieties of B. 
eversmanni. 
G. Semper notices the transformations of the following species : — Ilypsa 
monycha (Cram.), H. plana (Walk.), Argina astrea (Drury), Fhalauna poly- 
mena (Linn.), Lymantria hmata (Cram.), and Taragama ganesa (Lefebvre).
