These families are again divided into tribes ; and to each tribe 
is prefixed a similar table, in Latin and Swedish, of the species 
included in it. The account of each species is most minute, 
even including notices of its eggs and parasites; many new 
genera are characterized ; and the book will be found extremely 
valuable to all Entomologists who are working at the Heterocera 
of any part of Northern or Central Europe. 
Ramhur (Cat. Syst. Lep. d^Andalusie, ii. pp. 97-130) enters 
into the structure of the Lepidoptera, especially that of the 
Heterocera, at great length, in a note. Many other remarks on 
the structure of various species are scattered through the book, 
which it would occupy too much space to refer to in detail. 
He also (/. c, pp. 93-95) discusses the position of various ab- 
normal exotic genera. He considers Castnia to be intermediate 
between the Hesperidce and the Zeuzeridce and Hepialidce ; Co- 
ronis he places near Urania, in a group of uncertain position ; 
and he thinks that Agarista, with the allied genera Mgocera, 
Hecatesia, and Pais, should be placed near the Arctiidm. 
Rogenhofer records new localities for several Austrian Hetei'ocera. Verb, 
zool.-bot. Ges. in Wien, 18G9, pp. 919, 920. 
On the irregularity in the times of appearance of certain Heterocera see 
remarks by II. Ilarpur Crewe, Entomologist, iv. p. 260 ; and by W. Saun- 
ders and P. S. Sprague, Canacl. Entom. i. pp. 26, 27, 41, 42. 
E. Meldola (Entomologist, iv. p. 303) thinks that moths frequent nettles 
to imbibe the honey-dew with which they are often covered. 
SpHINGIDiE. 
IIerrich-Schaffer (Samml. aussereurop. Schmett. ii.) figures the fol- 
lowing known Sphinffidee: — Cantethia Walk., f. 6o2; Hemero-

Sphingidoi. The following species are noticed among others in Packard’s 
Guide to the Study of Insects : — Ellema harrisii, larva described by Saunders, 
p. 272 ; Macrosila quinquemacidata, p. 273, fig. 199, figured by Packard in all 
its stages ; M. Carolina, larva de.scribed and figured, p. 274, fig. 200 ; Thyrerts 
ahbotii, larva and imago figured, p. 276, fig. 203.
