On a collection of Lepidoptera from Upper Burma, by Epwarp Mrnyrick, B.A., F.Z.S. [Read Oct. 18th, 1893.] THE species enumerated in this paper were collected by Surgeon-Captain N. Manders, whilst taking part in those military movements, directed to the pacification of the Shan States and their neighbourhood, which followed the annexation of the territory. Most of the country visited was previously unknown to Europeans, and highly interesting. ‘The unhealthy climate, however, naturally kept Dr. Manders’ hands full of other work, and the continued presence of hostile natives made collecting always dangerous and often impossible ; whilst an unfortunate wound from an enemy in ambush eventually led to his being invalided home when just about to visit some of the most promising regions. Under these trying circumstances the collection is a remarkable record of persevering work. I had originally hoped to have worked out the whole, but in the face of the pressure of other work this has proved impossible, and TRANS, ENTs SOC. LOND. 1894.—PART I. (MARCH.)

Further observations on the Tea-bugs (Helopeltis) of India. By Cuartes Owen Warernovse, F.W.S. [Read Dee. 6th, 1893.] In the year 1886, I read before this Society some descriptions and observations on the genus LHelopeltis (Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond., 1886, p. 457), and in 1888 I supplemented this by the description of another species (Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond., 1888, p. 207). Until quite recently I had only seen a single female example of Helopeltis theivora. Iam glad to say the British Museum has now received a fair series of this species, with both sexes, and I can therefore give a description of the male. Helopeltis theivora. ¢. Black. Front of the head very pale yellow on each side. Antenne black, or nearly so, the basal joint obscure fusco-testa- ceous mottled with brown, very pale yellow at the extreme base. Temora nearly black, mottled with fuscous-testaceous, with a pale ring at the base. Tibiz nearly black, mottled with fuscous- testaceous. Scutellar horn about as long as the length of the pronotum, very distinctly curved, with the usual cup-shaped enlargement at the apex. Some examples show a little yellow at the base. Length 23 lines. From this description it will be seen that the male differs chiefly from the female in having the pronotum black. The antennz and legs are also darker, and the whole insect is more slender than the female. The scutellar horn is a trifle shorter and a little less curved than in the female. Many of the females have the dark brown at the base of the pronotum extending across the whole base. The following is an extract from the letter from Mr. Frank Austen, who sent the specimens. It is dated from Sylhet, July 1893 :— ‘The other day I sent you, per parcel post, a small box, containing a bottle in which are specimens of what, in the tea districts at any rate, is known as mosquito blight. It is to be found in many of the low-lying TRANS. ENT. SOC. LOND. 1894.—Parr i. (MARCH.) 32 Mr. C. O. Waterhouse on the Tea-bugs of India. gardens such as this, and from the damage it does is one of the, if not the most, serious pests the tea bush has to contend against. It attacks the young shoots and appears to puncture them so that they shrivel up and iurn quite black. As yet there is no known cure. The method we adopt here is to employ a large force of small children, catching the insects by hand. This at best can only check it at the beginning of the season, for when acres and acres of tea are black with it, the thousands of insects brought in every day seem to make no difference. It is first noticeable about the beginning of the rains, i.v., the early part of June, and continues to increase until the end; the bushes attacked by it becoming gradually blacker, until after about the end of August or middle of September, they yield little or no leaf at al]. There is apparently no other plant it attacks, even in the jungle, and as far as one can see there is nothing that preys upon it. Wet dull weather is especially favourable to its propagation. It does not appear to fly much, and in the cold weather, after the bushes are pruned, there is not a sign of it. We always burn all the prunings, but it is doubtful whether much good is gained by so doing. It seems to appear spontaneously, first of alla bush here and a bush there, often acres apart, is attacked by it, then it gradually spreads.” Referring to Wood-Mason’s suggestion (‘‘ Report on the Tea-bug of Assam,” 1884, p. 18) that the indigenous tea-plant is not subject to the attacks of Helopeltis, Mr. Austen writes, “This is quite a fallacy, as this garden Maguracherra, consisting of some 450 acres, is composed, roughly speaking, of half hybrid and half indigenous, and last year the indigenous flats were badly blighted as well as the hybrid.” . . . “There was also another idea that heavy pruning eradicated the Helopeltis ; but last cold weather we cut back 50 acres of hybrid tea to a standard of i8 inches (the average height of a tea-bush is, say, 3 feet to 3 feet 6 inches), and this year this part of the garden was the first to get blighted, and is by far the most blighted part of the garden ; there could have been very few leaf-buds left on the bushes. Also, each bush had its roots carefully forked round, and then the whole place was hoed te a considerable depth.””—Letter, Nov. 28th, 1893. O88t") III. Notes on some Lepidoptera received from the neighbourhood of Alexandria. By Gerorae T, Bernune-Baker, F'.L.8. [Read Dec. 6th, 1893. ] PLATE I, Last year I had handed to me a collection of Lepidoptera from Alexandria for examination and determination, and during the present summer I had another collection also sent me, so that the two lots will give us some idea of the insects from this neighbourhood, and I therefore make no apology for cataloging the whole collection in detail, following the order of Staudinger’s list. The only thing that strikes me as worthy of special note, is the entire absence of any species belonging peculiarly to the Ethiopian region ; with sucha splendid migratory channel as the river Nile, this is not what I should have expected. 1. Anthocharis belia, Cr. Two small but otherwise quite typical specimens. 2. Colias edusa, F., and var. Helice, Hb. The type species not rare, and, as usual, a few of the white variety appear with it. 3. Deudorix livia, Klug. Common.

Secondaries with a blackish spot between the first and second median nervules, and another at the anal angle ; tail blackish. Underside, primaries and secondaries ochreous-cream colour, with transverse irregular fasciz margined with white, as follows :—Primaries, two across the cell followed by two across the centre of the wing, reaching almost to the inner margin ; between the two submarginai fascie is a short one from the costa to the central disco-cellular branch. Secondaries crossed by about eight whitemargined fasciz ; some much broken and transfused. There are two brilliant metallic green spots, pupilled with bluish-black and margined with yellow, at the anal angle. Margins of both primaries and secondaries finely fuscous, Exp. alar. 23 mm. 2. Brownish, basal and discal area irridescent-blue, the under- side pattern showing through by transparency, and being decidedly intensified in the primaries; the black anal spot is composed of two confluent ones, not one only, as inthe ¢.

Very common and very variable, ranging from beautiful uniform green to yellow and straw colour. 18. Nola squalida, Steyr. One specimen only. 19. Cletthara hittora, sp.n. (PI. I., fig. 2.) Primaries ochreous-grey, basal third dark brownish-grey bor- dered externally by a lighter band, which is edged by a perpen- dicular wavy line of black with an internal edge of whitish ; the black line extends from costa straight across to the inner margin ; the central area is occupied by a patch of pale reddish-brown, bor- dering which, on the posterior edge, is a trace of a very interrupted dark line, rising at the centre of the costa and being produced outward round this reddish-brown patch, and then receding to the internal margin; there is a submarginal band of pale reddish-brown shading, edged internally by a toothed interrupted blackish line arising in a small apical black patch. Posterior margin finely blackish. Fringes brownish-grey with darker dividing line. Secondaries grey subhyaline with a dark border. Fringes whitish with darker dividing line. Exp. alar. 17 mm. There is one specimen, which may be a 9, but the body is absent, in which the primaries are all dark grey; all the markings of the ¢ are reproduced, with the exception of the reddish-brown central area, but the pattern is very much intensified and darkened, and each of the dark transverse lines are accompanied by a pale border.

Primaries ashen-grey, basal area with scarcely any marks or reticulations ; on the submedian vein is a short dark rich brown dash beginning near the centre, and from the end near the anal angle rises a thinner dash up to the lower median branch, forming an L-shaped sign, at the top of which is a small dark brown V ; the posterior half of the wings is reticulated and marked in the manner usual to the genus, but to a less extent than ordinary, whilst from a point on the costa about a third from the apex rises a dark brown waved stripe extending across the apical area, but curved, and reaching down to the anal angle; beyond this is another short line just in front of the apex, going across and touching the posterior margin. Costa darkly dotted. Fringes ash- grey. Thorax as primaries. Secondaries dark uniform brownish- grey without markings. Fringes grey. Abdomen paler than secondaries. Exp. alar. 36 to 39 mm. This species is, perhaps, nearest T’erebra, though not very near any of the genus that I have seen ; it can, how- ever, be immediately separated from Terebra by only being about half its size, and by the markless and uniform secondaries, 23, Psyche (subgenus Manatha) hampsoni, sp. n.

Bryophila fraudatricula, Hb., var. Pallida, nov. var. | (PI. I, fig. 4.) Primaries pale greenish-grey, the black transverse lines and black dash in the centre of the median area as in the parent species, but the short dash just above the anal angle is absent. Orbicular and reniform stigmata moderately distinct, outlined in blackish, the latter being filled in with pale grey. Both are much more distinct than in the original form. Secondaries grey, paler than in Praudatricula. Just beyond the centre the wing is crossed by a very distinct blackish line, following the course of the posterior margin, and extending from the costa to the inner margin. In the discal cell there is a dark grey spot. This is probably a good localform. I have three speci- mens all smaller than the type form, which agree closely inter se, but in one the median black dash is absent. It is evidently closely allied to Mraudatricula, so I have thought it better to make it a variety of that insect (from which it can be immediately separated by its very pale colour) rather than make it a new species. 30. Agrotis pronuba, L. Not uncommon and quite typical. 31. Agrotis puta, Ub. Common, the @ being unusually dark. 32, Agrotis desertorum, B. One beautifully pale grey specimen. 38. Agrotis aleaandriensis, sp.n. (PI. L, fig. 5.) g. Primaries yellowish-grey, first transverse line from discal cell to inner margin fawn colour, but rather indefinite, preceding which are three small black spots—one on the costa, one on the median vein, and a third on the submedian, the latter being nearer the base than the preceding ones ; there is a dark dot close to the base on the costa and median vein, The second transverse line 08 Mr. George IT. Bethune-Bakevr’s notes beyond the reniform stigma is also fawn colour, extending from subcostal to submedian vein, but rather broken, the area between the first and second lines is tinged with fawn colour, beyond the second line is a curved row of dark dots from subcostal to submedian vein. Orbicular stigma almost obsolete. Reniform stigma outlined in fawn colour, with a similar coloured crescentic continuation below the extremity of the discal cell ; directly above this stigma the costa is darkly dotted. Posterior margin darkly dotted ; fringes yellowish-grey with paler extremities. Secondaries silvery grey. Fringes entirely snow-white. Exp. alar. 42 mm. @. Primaries uniform brownish-grey, slightly lustrous, no marking at all visible except a small darker spot representing the orbicular stigma; the reniform stigma is finely outlined and pupilled with darker grey. Posterior margin darkly dotted. Fringes whitish with dark extremities. Secondaries silvery-grey, brownish towards outer margin, slightly lustrous. Fringes silvery- grey. Exp. alar. 40 mm. I have also one specimen, probably the same species, of an uniform pale ochreous-fawn colour, the first and second line as in type, but the former extended up to the costa and rather broken, the latter being followed immediately by a curved row of very fine dark minute dots, from which to the posterior margin the ground colour is rather darker, interrupted only by a doubly curved paler transverse line from the costa to the anal angle. This species will follow Desertorwm, B. 34. Agrotis ml, sp.n. (Pl. 1, fig. 6.) 3. Primaries grey, the first line close to the base, rising in a black costal dot,isonly just traceable.; the second line, pale and waved, rises from a black costal spot, extends to the inner margin, though somewhat indistinct there, and is bordered externally by a fine blackish edge ; in the median area is a small narrow oval blackish loop adjoining the second line, and filled in with pale ochreous. Third line very dark grey, curved outwardly, rising ina black costal spot and reaching to the inner margin; this line consists of a series of minute distinct crescentic marks joined at the tips, and is edged by a fine line of slightly paler ground colour. Posterior margin finely edged with black, and preceded by a band of dark grey shading ; just in front of the apex there is also a patch of this dark grey shading. Orbicular stigma slightly ochreous-grey, very finely encircled, and minutely pupilled with blackish ; reniform stigma on sone Lepidoptera from Alexandria. 39 dark grey edged with black. Between these two stigmata isa trace of an indefinite perpendicular band of dark grey shading right across the wing. Fringes grey with a dark dividing line. Thorax grey, abdomen paler grey. Secondaries and fringes white. Exp. alar. 38—39 mm. @. Primaries pale greyish-cinnamon-brown, first line close to base indistinct reddish-brown, second line waved reddish-brown, third line very indistinct, followed by a curved row of white dots, from whence the ground colour of the wing becomes abruptly darker up to the hindmargin, which is finely edged by a light line, and preceding which is a series of dark grey shadings between each nervule. Orbicular stigma distinctly encircled with reddish-brown, as is the reniform, the latter being filled in with greyish. Between these two stigmata there is a perpendicular band of dark reddish- brown shading right across the centre of the wing, and a similar coloured patch is in front of the apex. Fringes brownish-grey. Secondaries brownish-grey, darker near the hindmargin. Fringes pale grey. Thorax as primaries, abdomen as secondaries. Exp. alar. 39 mm. 30. Agrotis suffusa, Hb. Not uncommon and quite typical. 36. Mamestra afra, sp.n. (PI. L., fig. 7.) Primaries pale ochreous-grey, the first line close to the base is black, toothed, extending from the costa to the submedian vein, and is followed by a whitish stripe; second line in front of the orbicular stigma is composed of three crescentic dark marks starting from a dark grey costal spot, the central and inner crescents being preceded by a whitish edging. Orbicular stigma white, beneath which is a small dark crescent touching the middle of the second line and so making the letter q below the stigma. Reniform stigma margined with black, except on the costal side, with a basal inner margin of white and filled in with dark grey, except at the apical corner, where the colour is ochreous-grey. Subterminal line, consisting of a very strongly serrated fine dark line, bordered externally by white, is curved out beyond the reniform stigma, but terminates on the inner margin nearer the base than is that stigma. The terminal line close to posterior margin, strongly serrated, is white, edged internally by a dark shading, and with a dark patch opposite the reniform stigma. The hindmargin is conspicuously edged with dark crescentic marks between each vein. Fringes grey tessellated with white, and having a dark dividing line; on the costa are seven 40 Mr. George T’. Bethune-Baker’s notes dark grey spots, four near the base and three between the two stigmata. Secondaries white, cell marked by a dark median vein and closed by a distinct dark crescent ; there is a broad dark grey band from the apex to the inner angle. Posterior margin edged by a fine dark line, which is preceded by a broad whitish band. Fringes white. Antenne finely serrated. Exp. alar. 33 mm. Tins species is allied to Stigmosa, Chr., but can be at once distinguished by the white secondaries with the crescentic termination of the cell. ‘The primaries are much greyer in colour, the transverse lines more pro- nounced, whilst there is no trace of the triangular spot in front of the apex. Qr 37. Mamestra abbas, sp.n. (PI. 1., fig. 8,a¢, b?.) ¢d.

Hindmargin darkly dotted. Orbicular stigma pale ochreous-grey, pupilled with the ground colour, and partly encircled with dark brown, beneath this is a distinct darkly outlined q-shaped sign. Reniform stigma pale brownish-grey outlined with dark brown and pupilled with paler grey, which pupil is margined with dark grey. Fringes brownish- grey with a paler dividing line. Secondaries brownish-grey, darker around the posterior margin. Fringes pale grey. Exp. alar. 35 mm. 2. Primaries, ground-colour very pale ochreous-grey, pattern as in ¢. Secondaries very pale ochreous with a broad dark posterior margin. Exp. alar. 38 to 40 mm. This species will come next to Trifoliv; it is easily recognized by its quite uniform and duller colouration and markings, by its much darker secondaries, and by its exceedingly pale ¢. 38. Heliophobus marsdeni, sp. un. (PI. I., fig. 9.) ¢. Primaries brownish-ochreous, basal area much paler, the first transverse line in front of the orbicular stigma is dark brown, interrupted and edged internally with pale ochreous ; beyond the reniform stigma is a pale ochreous transverse dentated and inter- rupted line edged internally with dark brown; area between these lines darker than rest of wing: subterminal line pale ochreous, on some Lepidoptera from Alexandria. 41 interrupted and edged internally with dark brown; posterior margin darkly dotted, orbicular stigma distinct, pale ochre, finely outlined with dark brown. Reniform stigma indistinct, grey, with a pale dash on the basal edge ; costa with three pale ochreous spots. Fringes lustrous ochreous-brown, Abdomen greyish white. Secondaries very pale grey, slightly darker on posterior margin. Exp. alar. 30 to 32 mm. Antenne very strongly ciliate, almost plumose. @. Similar to g, but the colours each intensified, 7.e., the dark areas are darker, the light are lighter ; all the markings much more pronounced, and the reniform stigma distinct. Antenne simple. Exp. alar. 28 mm. The ¢ differs somewhat in colouration, some being quite pale ochreous with dark central areas, others dark greyish ochre, and much more uniform in general tone; the pattern is however apparently quite constant. The primaries of ? are decidedly narrower than the ¢. This species will follow Orana of Lucas, but is easily recognizable by its more variegated appearance, visible in even the greyest and most uniform specimens; also by the basal line, the pale line beyond the reniform stigma, and the dark reniform itself. There is no pale patch at the apex as in Orana. The secondaries are very much paler, and the abdomen is whitish-grey instead of brown as in Lucas’s species. I have named this insect after Mr. Marsden of Alex- andria, through whose kindness I have received these collections. 39. Miana trilinea, sp.n. (PI. 1., fig. 10.) Primaries ashen-grey, first line near base dark brown, strongly dentate on median vein; second dark brown line touching orbi- cular stigma internally ; third line just beyond the reniform, like- wise dark brown ; the area between the first and second lines is much paler grey. Just beyond the third line is a band of paler shading ; orbicular and reniform stigmata pale grey darkly out- lined. Posterior margin finely edged with dark brown. Fringes lustrous grey. Seccndaries pale grey, slightly lustrous, darker near posterior margin. Fringes paler grey. Thorax as_ primaries, Abdomen as secondaries. Exp. alar. 21} to 234 mm. 40. Hriopus latreillii, Dup.

Caradrina exiqua, Hb. Not uncommon. 44. Caradrina mediterranee, sp.u. (PI. L., fig. 11.) Primaries ashen-fawn colour with the least trace of a greyish subterminal transverse curved line. Just in front of the posterior margin is an indistinct row of very pale ochreous-white spots, the middle spots having their inner margin dusted with golden-brown. Orbicular stigma obsolete, reniform stigma small dark brown encircled with pale ochreous. Costa with four indistinct black spots. Fringes lustrous greyish-fawn colour, Secondaries white, lustrous, very slightly greyish near posterior margin. Fringes lustrous greyish, Exp.alar. ¢ 30mm.; 9 25 mm. This species is perhaps nearest Quwadripunctata, but at once separable by the almost entire absence ef markings and by its much paler and cleaner appearance. From Flava of Fallow it is recognizable by the same characteristics. 45. Cucullia chamomille, Schiff. I have four specimens of this genus, which are doubtful, but appear to be a very dwarfed race of this species, and I therefore place them provisionally under this name. 46. Plusia chalcites, Esp.

Two specimens of usual form. 67. Acidalia coenosaria, Ld. One specimen. I have two other species of this genus, which I believe to be new, but I do not think it wise to describe them from single specimens, and I shall therefore await other specimens before naming them. 68, Macaria aestimaria, Hb., var.

The specimens obtained around Alexandria are very dark indeed, and appear to be quite a local race; it is a common insect in the district. The ground colour is uniform dark greyish brown, the pattern being quite similar to that of Oberthur’s species, but very considerably darker. Out of ali the specimens before me the lghtest is very much darker in every respect than the darkest Algerian form that Ihaveseen. The Heyptian specimens are a very handsome variety of it. 70. Sterrha sacraria, L., and var. Sanguinaria, Esp., and ab. Oranaria, Lucas. I have this species of all shades from Alexandria, from the palest forms up to var.

I have no doubt whatever that Staudinger is right in his 1872 catalogue, where he says, on page 176, ‘an sequ. ab.” Sacraria being the following species. 1 have preserved larvee of both forms before me which are quite similar, and I have also two very rich dark forms infinitely darker than Oranaria, the oblique stripe being very dark ash-grey, thus showing that the species varies very extensively indeed. 71.

Primaries brownish-grey, with a transverse pale line near the base from the costa to the inner margin, the line being composed of three small crescents ; the submarginal pale line, frequently and sharply serrated, recedes slightly from the apex to the subcostal 46 Mr. George T. Bethune-Baker’s notes vein, where it curves outwards, receding again to the submedian vein, whence it recedes rapidly and considerably to the inner margin, and has a very fine dark edging. In the central area of the wing are four distinct whitish spots, around each of which are sprinkled, in fresh specimens, some dark brown rough scales, Hind- margin finely and darkly edged. Fringes pale grey. Secondaries whitish, with a fine submarginal dark grey stripe a little distance from the hindmargin, but following its course. Hindmargin finely and darkly edged. Fringes whitish. Antenne ¢ ciliate; 9 simple. Exp. alar. 23 mm. 76. Mnesivena bella, sp.n. (PI. I, fig. 14.) Primaries pale-grey, irrorated with pale chestnut roughish scales ; basal area dark chestnut-brown with a patch of superim- posed rosy scales ; in the central area beyond the middle, near the inner margin, is another patch of rosy scales, having a dark chestnut basal border, which is edged by a white line, the inner margin beneath this patch being chestnut colour. Posterior margin broadly but sparingly irrorated with rosy scales, which also extend along the inner margin from the anal angle to the rosy patch just mentioned. From the costa near the apex, a fine indistinct transverse white line extends half across the wing, forming the internal border to the posterior rosy scales. Fringes greyish, irrorated with pink. Antenne ¢ ciliate. Secondaries whitish, with whitish fringes. Exp. alar. 19 to 23 mm. In specimens that have flown much the rosy scales get almost entirely rubbed off. 77. Hypotia syrtalis, Rag.

Branprorp, M.A., EZ.s: [Read Dec. 6th, 1893.] The Rhynchophora collected by Mr. George Lewis in the Japanese Archipelago during the years 1880 and 1881 have been described in part by Dr. Sharp in the ‘Transactions’ of this Society for 1889 and 1891. In this paper I deal with the Scolytide of that collection, four species of which I have already described in my paper on the Scolyto-platypini. To the present time our knowledge of Japanese Scolytids rests upon the materials brought together by Mr. Lewis up to 1872, before which date but one species, Genyocerus adustipennis, Motsch., was known as Japanese. Nothing resembling that insect exists in this collection, and I have nothing to say about it. The species of the earlier collection were submitted, the Yomicini to Hichhoff, the remainder to Chapuis, and the results are given in the ‘ Annales de la Société entomologique de Belgique,’ 1874, pp. 195—203, in a paper entitled “ Scolytides recueillis an Japon par M. G. Lewis.” They distinguished 18 species, of which one occurred also in Kurope; the rest were new. In 1878 Hichhoff in his “ Ratio Tomicinorum ” added six species (one Huropean), and fully described those he had previously diagnosed. Nothing else has been written on the subject, and I have not found it necessary to redescribe the species of Chapuis and WHichhoff, and have merely indicated localities, etc., and some points of distinction between them and new species. ‘The original descriptions, and in the case of TVomicini the later ones of Hichhoff, are sufficient to identify them by. ; The number of species known to exist in Japan before my examination of this collection was 25; I raise it to 104 by the addition of 79 species, of which 71 are new. TRANS. ENT, SOC. LOND, 1894.—PART I. (MARCH.) 54 Mr. Walter F. H. Blandford on the Provided that I have correctly identified all the five new species described by Hichhoff in 1878, this collection contains all known Japanese species except Hylastes attenuatus, Xyleborus badius, and Genyocerus adusti- penis, and all types peculiar to Japan except of that insect and the five referred to. The number of species, 104,* is perhaps a little above the mark, because I have been obliged to describe under separate names three male Xylebori which cannot be referred to their respective females. Ina few cases I may have subdivided a species into two, but it is likely that these are counterbalanced by others where I have included distinct species as varieties. Students of the iiuropean forms know that species closely resembling each other in appearance may differ in habits, food- plants, and the form of their galleries. In dealing with an exotic collection one has to do without the assist- ance of such facts. They are divided into 25 genera, of which three are new, Hyorrhynchus, Spherotrypes and Acanthotomicus. The two first are quite distinct; Spherotrypes is also found in India.
