RAMBUB(Oat. Syst. L6p. d’Andalusie, ii. p. 240) doubts whether Tricho- 
soma pudens, Luc., may not be a Californian species. 
Speyer states (Stettin, entora. Zeitung, 1869, p. 82) that Estiymene lucti- 
fertty which has been placed in a separate genus by several authors on account 
of a horny claw asserted to be present at the extremity of its first pair of 
legs, possesses no such character, and that the front legs do not materially 
differ in structure from those of the other Arctiidce. Rambur also (Oat. Syst. 
L^p, d’Andalusie, ii. pp. 237, 238, note) protests against luctifera being 
generically separated from the other species of Phragmatohia. 
ScuDDER ('Harris Correspondence) reprints Harris’s original description 
of Arctia textor from the ^ New-England Farmer ’ (p. 860), and his descrip- 
tions of the larvae of A. argsy p. 286 j A, americanay Harr. ?, or A. scrihmiay 
Stoll ?y A. virginictty p. 287 j Euchcetes cegle, p. 288, pi. 2. f. 5 ; Lophocampa 
{Ilcdesidota) carycBy p. 289 j L. macxdata (pi. 3. f. 9) and L, tessellarisy p. 290. 
W. Saunders describes the larvae of Arctia paHhenos (Oanad. Entom. i. 
p. 5) and Callimorpha lecontd (/. c. p. 20). 
1)e l’Orza (L6pid. Japon. p. 41) describes Arctia nivea {Dionychopus 
niveuSy M(Sn^tri(5s), and suggests that it may be a variety of Chchnia alba, 
Bremer. [Bremer’s name would then have priority.] 
Mij.Lii^nE (Ann. Soc. Linn. Lyon, xvi.) describes and figures varieties of 
Arctia quenseUi (p. 20, pi. 86. f. 10) and o£ A. fasciata (p. 21, pi. 86. f. 11). 
He also describes and figures A. rivularis, MtSn., in all its stages {1. c. xvii. 
p. 48, pi. 97. f. 10-13). 
Rambur states (Cat. Syst. L^p. d’Andalusie, ii. pp. 249, 250, note) that 
Agarista gidtata, Boisd., and Chelonia virginalisy Boisd., both from California, 
are the same species, which should bo placed in or near the genus Nemeo- 
phila, 
Callimorpha hera. Its occurrence near Brighton recorded by T. W. 
Woufor. [This insect has been sufficiently often taken on the south coast to 
satisfy all doubts as to its being truly indigenous.] Entom. iv. p. 213. 
Boisduval redescribes his Arctia {Nemeophila) rufxduy Ann. Soc. Entom. 
Beige, xii. p. 79. He also redescribes, as new, the following species pre- 
viously described by Grote and Robinson under the same names : — Nemeo- 
phila ccespitis and cichoriiy p. 75, and Chelonia achaiay p. 76.
