L. Theugenis. Lept. alis omnibus supra Isete flavis, anticis macula 
media costali apiceque nigris, posticis margine externo nigro. ^ . 
Exp. alar. 2 unc. vel 50 millim. 
Hab. Bolivia. 
Anterior wings elongate, rounded at the apex, the first sub- 
costal nervule anastomosing with the costal nervure. Above : 
bright yellow, the apex from the termination of the first sub- 
costal nervule to that of the third median nervule black; this 
black patch united to a spot of the same colour occupying the 
outer margin as far as the termination of the first median nervule. 
Posterior wings yellow, the outer margin fuscous from the apex 
to the first median nervule ; the fuscous margin broadest at the 
apex. 
Below : anterior wings yellovf on the costa and at the apex, the 
dark markings of the upper surface slightly indicated; the rest 
of the wing whitish, the inner margin with a large spot of a 
chalky appearance. Posterior wings yellow, with two pale brown 
bands, the first extending along the subcostal nervule to its ter- 
mination, the second below the cell extending from the sub- 
median nervure to the second subcostal nervule, which it just 
crosses. 
Head, thorax and abdomen brown above, yellow below. An- 
tennse black. Legs, except the coxse, black, with a pale yellow 
line on each side. 
In the collection of the British Museum. 
This species is closely allied to Lept. Melite, from which how- 
ever it may be known by the want of the black vitta on the inner 
margin and of the yellow spot in the black of the apex, indepen- 
dent of some less striking differences.

Anomalous Forms of Dicotyledonous Stems. 
Prof. Treviranus* has published an exceedingly interesting 
essay on the anomalous forms under which the wood presents 
itself in certain dicotyledons, in which he endeavours to arrive at 
some general conclusions as to the regulating causes. The essay 
is a kind of critical examination of all the observations hitherto 
published on the subject, interspersed with the results of new 
investigations undertaken by the author with a view to explain 
or confirm the views of other winters. 
Our attention is first directed to those remarkable bodies called
