Tue above figure represents a variety of Arygnnis euphrosyne, which I had the good fortune to capture on the 10th June, 1897, flying in a “‘ride” in Bere Wood, near Bloxworth, in the county of Dorset. It is a very fresh and quite perfect specimen (though late), the species being in full force here on the 20th of May. On the upper surface the ground colour of the wings is not the usual fulvous brown, but a raw sienna colour. On the fore wings the usual markings are all present, but con- siderably emphasised, and most of them confluent. The spots along the outer marginal area of the wings are connected, form- ing reniform marks. The hind wings are almost entirely occupied by the dark brown colour, the outer marginal portions of the cells have a row of spots of the raw sienna colour centred with dark brown, and the usual pearl border is reduced by the encroachment of the dark brown toaseries of triangular raw sienna-brown spaces. On the under side the chief difference of the fore wings from the type is on the outer margin, where of the two usual rows of black spots the inner row only is present, the other row being converted into a series of conical darkish marks, the apex of each touching the corresponding dark mark of the inner row. On the hind wings the first two cells on the abdominal margin of the wings are entirely occupied by a dark greenish brown. All the usual silvery marks are present, but the space between the median and posterior marginal markings is almost entirely occupied by dark sienna-brown. ENTOM.—JAN. 1898. B 2, THE ENTOMOLOGIST.

Hemielytra short, reaching to the base of the fifth abdo- minal segment; nervures pale violet brown. Femora reddish violet. Abdominis dorsum (except connexivum and genital segments) dark violet brown. Ventral surface pale fawn colour, destitute of silvery pubescence. Length 11°5mm. Type, ?; my collection. Hab. Punduloya, Ceylon (H. Hrnest Green, May, 1897). Not unlike H. stagnorum, L., differing in the colour and in the proportions of the head and antenne. The apical part of the head (anterior to the eyes) is longer than in the latter species, and the second antennal segment longer in proportion to the first. It is destitute, moreover, of the dense silvery pubescence which, in H. stagnorum, forms such a striking contrast to the prevailing black colouring. H. greent is the first true Hydrometra recorded from Ceylon, or indeed from the Oriental Region; nitida, pectoralis, and discolor referred to this genus by Mayr (Novara Reise, Hem. pp. 170-2) belonging to the genus Gerris. 2. The following species have apparently been omitted from Lethierry and Severin’s ‘ Catalogue,’ vol. iii. :—Page 54. Hydro- metra lineata, Say ? 1832, Descr. Het. Hem.

[With regard to Dr. Mon- tandon’s remarks (1896, Ann. Ent. Belge xl. 508) as to the correct date of Say’s paper, it may be noted that no original copies appear to be extant, and that the date in the 1857 reprint may be an error.j Page 60. Gerris canaliculatus, Say, l. c. (reprints, pp. 807 and 363 respectively). Georgia. Fam. GELASTOCORIDE. It is probable that Nerthra, Say, l.c. (type, N. stygica, Say), should replace Mononyx, Lap., 1832, Mag. Zool. p. 16; but on account of the uncertain date of the former work, and the un- satisfactory description of the genus, it will be better, perhaps, to retain the latter name. Fam. BeLosromaripm. 1. Pedinocoris macronyx, Mayr. Prof, Carl F. Baker has NOTES ON AQUATIC RHYNCHOTA. 3 kindly lent me an imago and a larva of this species from Arizona, U.S.A. It has been seldom recorded, and seems scarce. Mayr (1863, Verh. z-b. Ges. Wien, xiii. pp. 847-51) gives a long description, with figures (pl. xi. f. 1-4), recording it from Cali- fornia and Mexico. In 1871, in the same journal (vol. xxi. p- 405), he: mentions that the latter locality was a mistake. Prof. Uhler (1894, Proc. Cal. Ac. Sci. (2), iv. p. 292) records it from Lower California, but it does not appear to have been independently mentioned elsewhere. The maximum breadth of Prof. Baker’s specimen exceeds that of the type (sec. deser.) by 2°5mm.; the breadth of the base of the pronotum is 13 mm. None of the preparatory stages appear to have been known either to Mayr or other writers. The above-mentioned larva is in the ultimate stage and, as one would expect, differs very little from the imago beyond the customary shorter pronotum, absence of hemielytra, &c. The two large deep pronotal variolations are more pronounced, and the base of the pronotum is straighter in the larva. The “‘ metasternal episternites” (Joanny Martin, Bull. Mus. Paris, Aug. 1896, p. 1 [sep.]) are present, and are of ereat size. Rhynchotists will await with great interest the results of M. Martin’s researches upon these remarkable appendages. This species should serve as the type of Mayr’s genus. Fam. Corix1p@. 1. Corixa holda, u. n. for Corixa fasciolata, Heer, 1853, Insektenf. tertiarg. Oening. ii. 86 (nec Muls. Rey, 1852). 2. Corixa hieroglyphica, Duf. This species has a very wide distribution, practically the whole of the Palearctic Region, (including the Canary Isles), Yarkand, North America, &c., and Mr. Malcolm Burr has lately given me specimens (? ?) from Assam (Chenapungi, Khasia Hills). 3. Micronecta, Kirk. In the last volume (p. 240) of the ‘Kntomologist,’ I referred Corixa albifrons, Motsch., to the genus Sigara, stating that I did not know the species. Dr. Horvath has since kindly sent me two fine specimens from Ceylon, which he has determined as the above species, and which fully accord with the original description. On making fresh investigations, it appears that the examples are also, undoubtedly Sigara siva, Kirk. (Dr. Horvath has expressed his entire concurrence in this opinion), and I believe further that Micronecta ovivora (Westw.) is merely a bleached example of the same. The name “ striata, Fieb.,” which became dormant (Ent. 1897, p. 240) in Sigara is, as Dr. Horvath has pointed out, available for Micronecta, and the species will now be known as Micronecta striata (Fieb.). It will be useful to briefly recapitulate the synonymy :— Sigara striata, Fieb. (nec Fabr.). Corixa albifrons, Motsch. Coriza ovivora, Westw. ty to bo 4 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. Sigara ovivora and siva, Kirk. Moreover, “lineata, Fieb.,’’ dormant in Sigara, must be re- vived for Micronecta, displacing S. M-notata, Kirk. Although Fieber’s description of S. striata (1844, Abh. béhm. Ges. Wiss. (5), iii. 292) is sufficiently precise, as far as it goes, his figure (pl. i. f. 22) is inaccurate, especially with regard to the pronotum, the lateral margins of which are ‘‘ very short, . . . about one-seventh (roughly) of the middle breadth of the pro- notum,” but are scarcely indicated in the figure, and while the latter represents only one central transverse stripe on the pronotum, the diagnosis correctly indicates ‘‘ Pronotum mit drei schwarzen Querlinien,’ this being amplified in the ensuing description. In consequence of this faulty figure, and the fact that it was not possible to examine the pale of the male type of ovivora, I did not appreciate the conspecificity of these three species until after an examination of Dr. Horvath’s specimens. = THE ASIATIC DISTRIBUTION OF BRITISH GEOMETRIDA. (Concluded from vol. xxx. 316.) MELANIPPE (CIDARIA) PROCELLATA, Fb. =inquinata, Butl. Hydriomena procellata, Meyr. Occurs in Amurland, Corea, Japan, Yesso, and Central and Western China. Mr. Leech, referring to his series of this species from China, Japan, and Corea, states that “‘there are specimens which exactly agree with typical procellata; others are identical with inquinata, Butl.; and others again are almost unicolorous fuli- ginous brown. All these forms are connected by intergrades.” MeELanippe (PLEMyriA) RIvATA, Hb. = supergressa, Butl. Specimens identical with European forms occur in Amurland, Japan, Yesso, and Corea. MELANIPPE (PLEMYRIA) BICOLORATA, Hufn. Occurs in Amurland, Japan, and Yesso. ‘‘ Japanese examples are larger, but do not otherwise differ from Kuropean specimens.” Menanrura (CIDARIA) ALBICILLATA, Linn. Hydriomena albicillata, Meyr. Recorded from Amurland, Japan, and Yesso. Mr. Leech remarks :—‘‘ Except that they are generally rather larger, there is no important difference between Japanese ex- amples (casta, Butl.) and Huropean specimens of the same species. The discal spots are a trifle larger, and the marginal border of secondaries is uninterrupted.” ASIATIC DISTRIBUTION OF BRITISH GEOMETRIDA, 5 Crparta prcata, Hb. Hydriomena picata, Meyr. Occurs in Central and Western China. “The specimens show variation in the width of the lines forming the central band, and also in the width of the white border of the band ; in a large proportion of them the secondaries are devoid of marking on the upper surface. The examples from Central China are rather smaller than the majority of those from the west, and appear to be more constant in always having the band composed of broad and often confluent lines.” —(Leech). Ciparia coryLATA, Thunb. = fabrefactaria, Oberth. Hydriomena corylata, Meyr. Found in Amurland, Isle of Askold, and Japan. The variation of the species in HKastern Asia is similar to that which occurs in European specimens. [Cidaria fulvata, Forst. A close ally of this species is described by Mr. Leech from Western China under the name Cidaria ochracearia. | [Cidaria yokohame, Butl. Mr. Leech thinks that this may possibly be an Eastern Asian form of Anticlea (Ciduria) cuculata, Hufn.| Crparta (LARENTIA) sUFFUMATA, Hb. = minna, Butl. Hydriomena suffumata, Meyr. This species is found in Western China, Japan, and Yesso. Mr. Leech considers C. minna, Butl., from Japan, to be a small form of C. suffwmata, and mentions that one of his Japanese specimens is only 24 millim. in expanse. Crparta (LARENTIA) TRUNCATA, Hufn. Hydriomena truncata, Meyr. This species is represented in E. Siberia, Amurland, Isle of Askold, Japan, Yesso, Kiushiu, and Western China by forms that are somewhat similar to, although not exactly identical with, some of those occurring in Europe. Ciparta (LARENTIA) rmmaNaTa, Haw. Occurs in Central and Western China, Japan, and Yesso. The type and var. marmorata are each represented, and some of the specimens approach var. thingvallata, Staud.; the latter are from Nemora in the north of Yesso. Mr. Meyrick and Sir George Hampson treat this species as a form of C. truncata. CIDARIA SILACEATA, Hb. Hydriomena silaceata, Meyr. This species is found in Amurland, Japan, Kiushiu, and Central and Western China. 6 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. Central Chinese specimens range from 26-34 millim., and Western Chinese from 380-88 millim. in expanse. Howkow examples have typical fore wings; but the hind wings are almost entirely without marking. A form from Western China, described as var. angustaria, Leech, has all the wings narrower than the type; both surfaces are heavily suffused with fuliginous, and the white transverse lines of fore wings are strongly defined. Crparia (KUSTROMA) RETICULATA, Hb. Recorded from E. Siberia, Amurland, Corea, Japan, Yesso, Central and Western China, and Sikkim. Mr. Leech states: ‘‘In China and Japan this species is generally represented by e@rosa, Butl., which is identical with inextricata, Walk., but I have typical specimens from Hakodate, Omei-shan, and Chia-kow-ho.”’ CaMPTOGRAMMA (CipARiA) FLUVIATA, Hb. Hydriomena fluviata, Meyr. Occurs in Eastern and Western China, Japan, Corea, India, Ceylon, and Burma. Coremia (CrpariA) DESIGNATA, Hufn.=propugnata, Fb. Xanthorhoe designata, Meyr. Recorded from EK. Siberia, Amurland, Japan, and Yesso. Specimens agree with Huropean examples. CoreMia (CIDARIA) QUADRIFASCIARIA, Clerck=ignobilis, Butl. Xanthorhoe quadrifasciaria, Meyr. Occurs in Amurland, Japan, and Yesso. Referring to Japanese specimens, Mr. Leech says some are much suffused; ‘“‘others agree with the type of ‘S’ ignobilis, Butl., in the National Collection at South Kensington.” AnricLea (LARENTIA) BADIATA, Hb. Hydriomena badiata, Meyr. ‘‘The central fascia of primaries and the secondaries are whiter in Japanese specimens than in any example in my European series’’ (Leech). Only recorded from Japan. Emmecests (LARENTIA) THNIATA, Steph.=fulvida, Butl. Hydriomena teniata, Meyr. Occurs in Western China, Japan, Yesso, and Kiushiu. ‘In the Japanese specimens the central band of primaries is broader than in European examples; and the space between this band and the basal patch is deeply suffused with fuliginous” (Leech). Hypstperes (LARENTIA) sorDIDATA, Fb.=elutata, Hb. Hydriomena elutata, Meyr. ASIATIC DISTRIBUTION OF BRITISH GEKOMETRIDA. ff Occurs in Amurland, Japan, and Western China. Specimens are of forms similar to those occurring in Kurope. Toera (LARENTIA) VARIATA, Schiff. Hydriomena variata, Meyr. Modifications of the obeliscata form occur in Japan, Corea, and North-east China. [Larentia comis, Butl., from Japan, is very like some European T.

Mr. Leech refers to one specimen, from Pryer’s collection, in which “the only character that shows up at all prominently is the short brownish fascia.”’ AsTHENA (HypreELtIA) LuTEATA, Schiff. Eucheeca luteata, Meyr. There were two specimens in Pryer’s Japanese collection, and these Mr. Leech states are paler than his Kuropean examples. The species also occurs in Amurland and the Isle of Askold. . ASTHENA CANDIDATA, Schiff. Occurs in Amurland, Japan, Yesso, Corea, Central and North-east China. Typical. 8 THE ENTOMOLOGIST.

HypsipeTes trirascrata, Bork. — Although the alder is so common a tree in all parts of Ireland, this species, so far as my experience goes, appears to be somewhat localized. It presents the usual wide range of variation, sometimes with a dark green ground colour (W.); but I have not met with the almost uni- colorous brown form.
