llAMiiUR (Cat. Syst. L6p. d’Andalusie, ii. p. 100) describes Zyymna mvn- 
demis, figured by him in part 1 (pi. 1. fig. 10); Z. surpedon, var. hispanica 
(/. c. p. 107) ; Z. hcctica (1. c. p. 170), figured by him in his Faune entom. And. 
pi. 12. fig. 9 ; Z. faustaf var. fortunata {1. c. p. 172, note) ; Z. staschadis, Borkh. 
(/. c. p. 174), which he considers to be a race of trifolii, and which = trifoUi, 
var., Ramb. part 1, pi. 1. f. 5; Hiibn.,and 7nedicayinis charon, 
Boisd. ; Z. trifolii, var. (/. c. p. 177), figured in part 1, pi. 1. figs. 0-8 (fig. 8= 
STjraemm, Zell.). In the course of his remarks on the Zygeenidee he criticises 
Boisduval’s works on the family very severely. 
Zeller (Stettin, entom. Zeitung, 1809, pp. 389, 890) states that the larva 
of Zggmna hermgii does not differ from that of Z. minos, and that ho considers 
the former insect to be a mere variety of the latter. He also remarks on 
AVallengren’s discovery that Z. scabiosfv has only one pair of spurs on the hind 
tibio 0 ,and that the neuration of the wings of the genus, in which Wallengren 
has recorded some interesting peculiarities, may probably furnish valuable 
specific characters. 
Lederer (llor. Soc. Entom. Ross. vi. p. 87) states that Zygoma doryctm 
is probably a variety of Z. pcucedani. 
W. .rAOGER notices some varieties of Zygmna fdipmdxda>„ Ent. M. Mag. vi. 
p. J 17 ; Entomologist, iv. p. 305. 
Frivaldsky describes and figures Inohudensis, Spey. (Proc. Ilungar. Acad. 
1865, p. 146, pi. 4. f. 5), and Zyycma Iceta, Esp. {1. c. p. 145, f. 4), the latter 
wdth its pupa and cocoon. 
Rambur (1. c. pp. 184, 185) discusses the varieties of Px'ocris statices, &c. 
He considers obscura, Zell., lieydenreicbii, micans, and clwysocephala, Herr.- 
Schfiff., and gerion, Hiibn., to be vars. of statices, admitting, however, that 
some of these forms may be distinct. He adds in a note that he considers 
r. chloros and P. Sfe^nwn to be identical. He also (1. c. p. 186) describes his 
P. eognata in full. 
Zeller (/. c. pp. 390, 391) considers Ino gex-yon to be undoubtedly distinct 
from I. statices on account of the difference in the antennfe, which he de- 
scribes in a note, and of the metamorphoses. He altogether disbelieves (/. c. 
pp. 391, 392) that I.pruni, W. V. {Rhagndes pruni, Wallengr.) feeds on plum, 
and indicates heath as its probable food-plant.
