GEOMETRIDiE. 
A. Gartneb publishes (Verli. naturf. Ver. in Briinn, iv. pp. 54-98) a list of 
the Geometridaa of the district of Briinn, in Moravia, including 226 species, 
or more than one-third of the species known to inhabit Europe, and more 
than half of those recorded as indigenous to Germany and Switzerland. 
The habits and food-plants of most of the species are indicated. Gartner 
indicates the characters of the larvas of the following species : — JBoarmia soci- 
aria (Hiibn.), Geometra (Fab.) (life-history), Lythria purpuraria 
(Linn.), Eupithecia venosata (Fab.), and Larentia hydrata (Treits.). He also 
notices the pupae of several species. 
Heerich-Schaffer (Corr.-Blatt zool.-min. Ver. Regensb. xx. pp. 185- 
186) notices some Cuban forms belonging to this group, viz. Cydimon poeyi 
(Gundl.) and the species of Sematura. 
The following species of this family are figured by Milliere, generally in 
all stages (Ann. Soc. Linn. Lyon, xiv.) : — Acidalia immutata (Linn.), p. 306, 
pi. 72. figs. 1-3 ; A. caricaria (H.-Sch.), p. 308, pi. 72. figs. 4-7 j A. imitaria 
(Hiibn.), p. 310, pi. 72. figs. 8-11 ; A. depunctata (Scop.), p. 314, pi. 72. 
figs. 12-15 ; A. ochrata (Scop.), p. 387, pi. 76. figs. 1-3 j A. obsoletaria 
(Ramb.), p. 339, pi. 76. figs. 4-6 j A. poUtaria (Hiibn.), p. 342, pi. 76. figs. 7- 
9; A. moniliatu (W. V.), p. 844, pi. 76. figs. 10-12; A. incanaria (Hiibn.), 
p. 346, pi. 76. figs. 13, 14 ; Psamatodes catalaunaria (Guen.), p. 870, pi. 79. 
figs. 1-4; Hibernia anheraria (Stand.), p. 824, pi. 74. fig. 1 (imago); Aspi- 
latcs citraria (Hiibn.), p. 326, pi. 74. figs. 2-5 ; Amphidasys betularia (Linn.), 
var. $, p. 336, pi. 76. fig. 7 (imago). 
Stainton (Brit. Butt. & Moths) figures the following species of this 
family : — Pumia cratcegata (pi. 9. fig. 1), Selenia illustraria (fig. 2), Ennomos 
tiliaria (fig. 3), Nyssia zonaria (fig. 4), Ilernerophila abruptaria (fig. 6), Pseu- 
doteipna cytisaria (pi. 10. fig. 1), Ephyra omicronaria (fig. 2), Asthma hdeata 
(fig. 8), Acidalia ornata (fig. 4), Bradyepetes amataria (fig. 5), Macaria litu- 
rata (fig. 6), Lozogramma petraria (fig. 7), Fidonia limbaria (pi. 11. fig. 1), 
Sterrha sacraria (fig. 2), Ligdia adustata (fig. 3), Hibernia leucophearia 
(fig. 4), Eupithecia venosata (fig. 6), and Melanippe procellata (fig. 6). 
Speyer (Stett. ent. Zeit. 1867, pp. 71-72) discusses the characters and 
habits of Nemoria viridata (Linn.) and porrinata (Zell.), and describes the 
larva of the former. Speyer also remarks (/. c. p. 73) that Zonosoma siq)-‘ 
punctaria (Zell.) seems to be a small reddish variety of Z. trilinearia. 
Gnophos serotinaria (Hiibn.). Speyer remarks on the characters and 
position of this species. Stett. ent. Zeit. 1867, pp. 416-418. 
Acidalia mtcrjectaria and osseata. Kiiaggs discusses the characters of 
these species. Ent. M. Mag. iv. p. 113, and Ent. Ann. 1868, pp. 103 & 107.
