May 7th, 1895.—Exhibits :—Dr. Sequeira : a specimen of Hctclena 
trifolii (cheuopodii) lately taken on a fence at Twickenham ; also eggs 
laid by the same. Mr. May : Taeniocampa gracilis from Tooting Bee 
Common, which had been taken at sallows, between April 18th and 
22nd ; one of the specimens had the orbicular stigma on the right 
fore-wing developed into a horizontal reniform marking; another had 
the transverse row of black dots, unusually large and distinct. Mr. 
May also stated that he had taken a male Notodonta carmelita at 
Weybridge, on May 4th. Dr. Buckell stated that he had recently had 
an opportunity of comparing the newly-hatched larvae of Packnobia 
rubricosa and P. leucographa with those of Taeniocampa instabilis and 
T. popnleti. The former were hairy, the latter smooth. The former,, 
when at rest, bent the anterior segments round, and resembled some¬ 
what a note of interrogation; the latter rested stretched out at full length. 
He thought that those entomologists who, in past times, had placed 
rubricosa and leucographa in the genus Taeniocampa could not have 
been familiar with the newly-hatched larvae. Mr. Battley said that it 
would be interesting to observe whether the development of the imago 
within the pupa in Pachnobia took place in the autumn, as is the case with 
Taeniocampa. 
May 21st, 1895.—Exhibits:—Mr. Clark exhibited three very 
interesting specimens of Amphidasys strataria from Epping Forest, bred 
by Mr. Lane ; one of them was of a very pale ochre-grey colour, with the 
usual markings mapped out in a slightly darker shade. Mr. Gates: 
a series of Lithocolletis lantanella , bred from leaf rubbish collected 
from the ground. Mr. Bate : young larva? of Spilosoma mendica which, 
he said, had passed the^ winter as ova. Mr. Prout: a variety of T. munda, 
resembling some of the dark mottled forms of T. instabilis , from 
Broxbourne; also an asymmetrical T. populeti from Epping Forest ; 
the latter had the orbicular stigma on the left fore-wing, much enlarged 
and of a very irregular shape. Mr. Bacot: a series of Cidaria suffu- 
mata, bred from Aberdeen eggs; they were all of the ordinary form, 
although said to be the produce of a female of the var. piceata. Rev. C. 
R. N. Burrows: a case of Epichnopteryx reticella, the sole result of a 
whole day’s work on the sea-wall at Benfleet. Mr. May stated that a 
male S. lubricipeda had paired with two females, both of which had 
laid fertile eggs. Mr. Bate read a paper entitled “ Notes on Amphidasys 
betulariaP [vide, Ent. Record, vol. vii., pp. 27—31). 
June 4th, 1895.—Exhibits:—Mr. Bate: a specimen oiPumialuteolata 
from Brixton, which had brownish longitudinal streaks between the wing- 
rays on the right fore-wing. Dr. Sequeira: a short series of Plusia 
chryson, bred from larvae from Chippenham. Mr. Hamling : a series of 
JBoarmia roboraria, taken on tree-trunks and at sugar, in the New 
Forest, in 1894 ; he remarked that, out of thirty-seven specimens so 
taken, only one was a $ . Mr. Fuller : four Choerocampa porcellus. 
taken the previous night at Hayes, Kent, flying round the flowers of rhodo¬ 
dendrons. Mr. Cox recorded the capture by him of two specimens of 
Pachetra leucophaea, and a series of Scoria lineata ( dealbata ) on the 
hills, near Canterbury. Mr. Riches, remarking on the great abundance 
of larvae at Epping Forest, said he had obtained a dozen Trichiura 
crataegi. Dr. Sequeira said that the sale of the late William Machin’s
