LONDON. Entomological Society, November 2.—Prof. E. B. Poulton, F.R.S., president, in the chair.—Mr. J. E. Collin exhibited a specimen of Platyphora lubbocki, Verr., a species of Phoridæ parasitic upon ants. No specimen has been recorded since the one originally bred by the present Lord Avebury in 1875, and described for him by Mr. G. H. Verrall in the Journal of the Linnean Society for 1877.—Mr. P. J. Barraud exhibited an aberrant Epinephele jurtina (janira), o, taken by him this year in the New Forest, in which the usual apical spots were absent from the fore-wings, giving the specimen a curious appearance, noticeable even when flying.—Mr. J. Edwards sent for exhibition three specimens of Bagous lutosus, Gyll., one found by himself on Wretham Heath, Norfolk, on August 4, 1900—the first authentic British example—and two taken in the same locality by Mr. Thouless on May 22, 1903; also Bagous glabrirostris, Herbst., from Camber, Sussex, for comparison.—Dr. T. A. Chapman exhibited bred specimens of Hastula (Epagoge, Hb.?) hyerana, Mill., from larvæ taken at Hyères last March, and said the fact that the pale forms only have hitherto been known, whereas of those bred nearly half are dark, suggests either that really very few specimens are in collections—which is the most probable case—or that melanism is now affecting the species.—Mr. W. J. Kaye exhibited specimens of the moths Castnia fonscolombei and Protambulyx ganascus showing protective and warning coloration of the two species.—Mr. H. W. Andrews exhibited specimens of Eristalis cryptarum, F., and Didea alneti, Fin., two species of uncommon Syrphidæ from the New Forest.—Mr. Edward Hariris exhibited a brood of Hemerophila abruptaria reared by him this season, together with the parents, a dark male and a normal female, showing considerable variation.—Mr. Gervase F. Mathew, R.N., exhibited some beautiful and interesting examples of Leucania favicolor, Barrett, including the varieties described by Barrett in the current volume of the Entomologist's Monthly Magazine (p. 61), and, more recently, by Tutt in the Entomologist's Record for this year. He also exhibited a series of twenty-four Camptogramma fluviata, the descendants of a wild pair captured on September 22, 1903, showing a wide range of colour variation.—The President exhibited a photograph taken by Mr. A. H. Hamm to illustrate the protective flower selection of Pieris rapae. He also exhibited four specimens of Conorrhinus megistus, Burm., the large South American Reduvüd which is well known to attack man; these were brought back by W. J. Burchell in the year 1828, and still have the original labels affixed to them.
