South London Entomological Society. — Thursday, July ^th, 
1891. — A series of Lyccena teams from Snodland containing several 
varieties, also living larvae of Euclidia glyphica were exhibited by Mr. R. 
Adkin. Mr. Oldham exhibited a pallid form of Argynnis euphrosyne, a 
yellow var. of Pieris rapee, and dark P. napi from Cambs. Mr. C. A. 
Briggs an extreme melanic form of Sphinx ligustri (the fore wings 
with the inner margin black, the black coloration passing upwards from 
the anal angle to the costa just outside the subUerminal line, the hind 
wings with three black bands). Mr. Tugwell stated that he had taken 
Sesia sphegiformis for 15 years at Tilgate Forest. In 1883, 19 were 
bred and 2 1 taken. This year Mr. L. Gibb and himself had taken 30 
larvae in an hour or two, from these 2 $ ’s were bred and taken to 
Tilgate, 26 being captured during one morning by “assembling.”

Thursday, July 2;^rd, 1891. — Mr. Barker exhibited a very varied 
series of Triphcetia fiTubria. Mr. Turner, Bupalus piniaria, bred from

Mr. Barrett remarked that the white northern form of this species 
should be considered the type as it occurred over a much larger area 
than the darker southern form. Mr. Turner also exhibited a varied 
series of Hybernia leucophcearia, with females of H. 77/arginaria and 
A nisopteryx (zscularia. Mr. Hawes, living pupae of Pararge 7 uegcera, in
