Jen. Ges. 1885, pp. 19-27. 
300 species ; 700 examples have been examined. Meinert’s and Ticho- 
mirow’s views are partially rejected. In Macro-Lepidoplera no man¬ 
dibles exist; but they are present in Micropteryx, which he considers the 
most primitive of Lepidoptera , and are also present in other Tineina. 
Acentropus is, he says, a “ typical Lepidopteron, with numerous interesting 
morphological peculiarities.” Lepidoptera with short proboscis are dis¬ 
cussed, and the author’s views as to phylogeny of the orders of Insecta 
Sugentia briefly given. \Cf. J. R. Micr. Soc. (2) v. p. 635.]

3 species found between 10,000 and 14,000 feet of elevation are noticed ; 
the others, found at a lower elevation, are, to a large extent, the same as 
those found in S.E. Africa.

Consists of a series of analytical tables, and is remarkable on account 
of the enormous number of varieties to which names are given. It would 
be useless to enumerate these varietal names in our pages. On p. 4, 
Weise gives a list of the cases in which he thinks it desirable to name 
varieties.

26 species are added to Kheil’s list of the Rhopalocera ; and of the

species the paper contains many notes of importance on previousty- 
described species, and figures of Danais.
