28 
(Oct. 5th), at Eltham. Dr. Sequeira remarked that he had taken 
it some years ago in the month of August, in the Warren, at 
Exmouth. Second brood of Hemerophila abruptaria. —Mr. J. A. 
Clark exhibited a specimen of a partial second brood of Hemero¬ 
phila abruptaria, that had emerged a few hours before the 
meeting. He had, up to the present, bred five specimens out of 
about 80 pupae. Boletobia fuliginaria. —Mr. Tutt exhibited a 
specimen of B. fuliyinaria, which had been sent to him to name by 
Mr. Boult, and which that gentleman stated had been captured just 
previously at Hull. It was noticed by the members that the insect 
was loose on its pin, and appeared to have been re-set. Calltmorpha 
dominula ab. rossica, Kol. —Mr. H. May exhibited bred specimens of 
Callimorpha dominula, the larvae having come from Deal and Plymouth. 
Two had the hind-wings somewhat suffused (approaching ab. persona ), 
and one had orange-coloured hind-wings. The latter was dwarfed 
and somewhat crippled. Intermediate Dryas paphia-valesina and an 
aberration of D. paphia. —Mr. Bayne exhibited a $■ aberration of 
D. paphia, with the spots joined so as to form longitudinal streaks 
crossing the wing, and with the black spots at the end of the nervures 
much enlarged. He also exhibited a grand $ paphia, much suffused 
with the valesina tint, and which Mr. Tutt remarked reminded him of 
Dryas pandora. Also typical ab. valesina, and one very dark one, 
suffused with tawny. All were captured in the New Forest. Aporophyla 
australis ab. ingenua. —Mr. Prout exhibited two specimens of this 
aberration from Sandown, one taken in 1895 and one in 1896, and 
drew attention to its great rarity, both here and on the Continent. 
Mr. Tutt drew attention to the close superficial resemblance between 
this aberration and Epundalutulenta. Dark aberrations of Tephrosia 
bistortata (crepuscularia). —Mr. Prout exhibited, on behalf of Major 
Robertson, some dark aberrations of T. bistortata, and one specimen of 
the second brood, also one specimen of the extreme melanic form of 
T. crepuscularia, and drew attention to the fact that the dark 
aberrations of T. bistortata always showed a strong brown tendency, 
whilst those of the allied species, T. crepuscularia (Jdundularia) were 
black. He also drew attention to the remarkable statement, made re¬ 
cently by Mr. C. G. Barrett, that the second brood of T. bistortata was 
obviously T. crepuscularia. This view, he said, was quite untenable. 
Mr. Tutt agreed with the remarks made by Mr. Prout, and described the 
differences existing between the second brood of T. bistortata and 
T. biundularia (crepuscularia ). Although the ground colour of both 
could be called “ white,” the dead-grey white (almost with a trace of 
lead-colour in it) of the second brood of T. bistortata was very different 
from the purer white (or creamy white) of the May-June species. 
Zyg^ena carniolica from Bourg d’Oisans. —Mr. Tutt exhibited 
Z. camiolica from Bourg d’Oisans, and read the following notes: — 
“ The type of this beautiful species has the red spots of the anterior 
wings surrounded with broad creamy-yellow rings, and the abdomen 
has a red ring surrounding it, but the insect is so variable that many 
aberrations have been named, a summary of which may be found in 
Notes on the Zyyamidae. These Bourg d’Oisans specimens are 
peculiar (1) in having scarcely any creamy rings to the red spots, and 
(2) in having the bodies entirely black=ab. diniensis, H.-S. Sometimes
