Excerpt: ... 31st (Thompson), Bridgwater, three seen (Corder), Stutton Hall, September 4th (Nash), Merton, September 6th (Durrant), near Dunmow, one taken another seen, September 20th (Ruffel). At the meeting of the Entomological Society of London, held on October 17th, 1900, Mr. A. J. Scollick exhibited a specimen of Cethosia cyane, a species confined to India and the Malayan region, which had been taken this year on the wing near Norwich.

He said that the typical form and the variety were not found flying together, but on opposite sides of the valley. Dr. Chapman observed that the darker specimens approached to the form of E. i/lacialis, formerly known as melas, found in the neighbourhood of Campiglio. Specimens of E.,/lacialis also exhibited from Saas Fee and Evolena showed marked inferiority in size and brilliancy of colour. Dr. Sharp records (Ent. Mo. May.) the capture of a new British dipteron, Leucophmya (l)rosophila) maculata, Duf. The species has "the head between the eyes pure white; the thorax varies in colour according to the light--in some positions it appears to be brilliant white, and in others of a leaden hue; there is a pure white stripe on each side between the wing and the eye; the abdomen is pallid but each segment is marked with large black spots; the legs pale yellow." Mr. Grim shaw records the capture (by Mr. Ord, at Strathblane, on June 19th, 1899) of another new species, Hyetodesia aculeipes, Zett., easily distinguished from all other British Anthomyids "by the remarka...
