Limenitis disippusy p. 94. 
ScuDDEB (Harris Correspondence) publishes Harris’s descriptions of the 
larvae of Limenitis ursuluy p. 276, pi. 4. f. 16; Cynthia carduiy p. 277, pi. 1. 
.f. 1, 2; C. atalantay p. 279; Vanessa antiopay V. prognCy and V, o-aureuniy 
p. 280 ; and a note of Doubleday’s on the larva of Melitcea ismeria. 
Salvin has published (Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1869, pp. 391-397) a 
synopsis of the genus Clothilda, He enumerates six species, including two 
which he describes as new. A table of species is also given. 
Cirrochroa. Reakirt describes the female of C. tyche, Proc. Acad. Nat. 
Sci. Philad. 1808, p. 89; Wallace describes the female of C. orissay Trans. 
Ent. Soc. Lond. 1869, p. 340. 
Argynnis. Edwards (Butt. N. Amer.) figures and describes the following 
known species of this genus : — A. dianay Argipinisy pi. 1 ; A. cyhele, pi. 2 ; 
A. aphrodite, pi. 3 ; A. nokotnis, pi. 4 ; A. atlantis, pi. 6 ; A. callippey pi. 0 ; 
A. hespteris, pi. 7 ; A. monticola, pi. 8 ; A. letOy pi. 10. He thinks that the 
fossil Vanessa pluto, Heer, from Croatia, was an Argynnis allied to dianay 
and remarks that A. cyhele and aphrodite are confounded by most authors 
and in all the European collections ; and that Boisduval’s description of A, 
callippe will include at least two other species. He also objects to the genus 
Brenthis being separated from Argynnis. 
Kibdy describes the male of A. ella. Journ. Roy. Dubl. Soc. v. pp. 171, 
172. 
Meek describes a variety of A. selene. Ent. M. Mag. vi. p. 96. 
Newman publishes the life-history of A. euphrosyne. Entomologist, iv. 
p. 261. 
W. Hambrough records the supposed occurrence of A. niobe at Lyndhurst. 
Entom. iv. p. 351. 
Argynnis and Melitcea. Packard (Guide to Study of Insects, p. 252) de- 
scribes the transformations of A. atlantisy Edw., figures A. aphrodite (p. 253. 
fig. 183), quotes Saunders’s description of the transformations of A. myrina 
(pp. 253-255), notices Melitcea phaeton and figures it in all its stages (pp. 
255, 256, figs. 184-186), and figures the larva of M. harrisii, Scudd. (p. 258, 
fig. 187). 
Erschofp figures aberrations of Melitcea maturna (Hor. Soc. Ent. Ross, 
vi. p. 26, pi. 3. f. 1) and Argynnis arsilache (1. c. p. 26, pi. 3. f. 2). 
Melitcea. Ragonot (Ent. M. Mag. vi. p. 147) remarks on the differences 
between M, athalia and M. dictynna. He is inclined to think that the latter 
species may yet be' found in England. Boisduval (Ann. Soc. Entom. Beige, 
xii. p. 67) redoscribes M. leaniray Behr, and states that M. editha, Boisd.= 
M. anicia, Doubl., How. [The two species are distinct, according to W. II . 
Edwards in litt.] 
M. phaeton. On the habits of this insect see W. PI. Edwards and B. Bil- 
lings, Canad. Entom. i. pp. 69-61 (note), 80. 
ScuDDER states (Proc. Bost. Soc. Nat. Plist. xi. p. 379) that Melitcea 
(money Scudd. =ilf. nycteis, Doubl., and that the synonyms formerly quoted 
by him under M. harrisiiy Scudd., also belong to M. nycteis (pe7wtie\ 
Grapta. Edwards enumerates eight American species of this genus, none 
of which is identical with the European C. album (Trans. Amer. Ent. Soc. 
ii. p. 375). Lintner discusses the characters of G. c-aureum and interi'o-
