which he had thought to be Apamea ophiogramma, had emerged, and 
proved to be Minna s trigilis var. cethiops, the only difference noticed in 
the larva being that strigilis had faint traces of longitudinal lines. Mr. 
Tremayne reported that some Clostera anachoreta larvag had spun up, 
and the imagines emerged eight days afterwards. Mr. Smith had bred 
Thecla quercus from larvae taken in the New Forest at Whitsuntide.

the pink and green forms, both bred from the same batch of eggs, 
Mr. Tremayne, bred specimens of Vanessa polychloros and Thera variata. 
including a dwarf specimen of the latter. Mr. Battley, living larvae

London Lepidoptera. The list of Rhopalocera was gone through, and 
several additions made, and a vote of thanks to Dr. Buckell concluded 
the proceedings. 
July 18 tin, 1893.—Mr. B. G. Morris, of 18, Woburn Place, W.C., was 
elected a member of the Society. * Dr. Buckell made two interesting 
additions to the Society’s library, viz. the 1829 edition of Stephens’ 
Nomenclature of British Insects, and a copy of the English edition of 
Cuvier’s Animal Kingdom, the part of which relating to the Insecta 
was by Latreille, and embodies his latest ideas of classification. 
Exhibits :—Dr. Buckell, a batch of ova of Eugonia quercinaria ; he 
also exhibited a batch of ova of Melanippe fluctuata, as being in many 
respects typical of Geometricl ova, viz. of an oval shape, and scattered in 
deposition. The ova of E. quercinaria, on the contrary, were cylindrical, 
tapering slightly both at base and apex, and were slightly indented at 
the latter extremity: they were, moreover, deposited in large batches 
the ova slightly overlapping one another. Mr. Morris: an example of 
Melanargia galatea. from Swanage, having the white marginal spots on 
all four wings extremely indistinct; also Ampliidasys betularia, var. 
doubleday aria, from Scarboro’, and a 2 example of Argynnis paphia 
tending towards the var. valezina, or, in other words, a female, not 
quite so highly specialized as usual. Mr. Dewey: examples of 
Diphthera orion , and an hermaphrodite specimen of Lyccena icarus, 
from Eastbourne; also a preserved larva of Tceniocampa miniosa. 
Mr. Riches: two $ examples of Stauropus fagi, from Epping Forest, 
one of them being an example of the dark variety; he stated that 
both these specimens had been taken from young trees. Mr. Lane: 
series of Smerinthus ocellatus and S. tilioe, from N. London. Mr, 
Heasler : a specimen of Calamia phragmitidis, bred from a pupa found on 
the Barking marshes; also examples of Harpalus rotundicollis, from the
