Abstract
LONDON.
Entomological Society, October 2.—Prof. Raphael Meldola, F.R.S., President, in the chair.—Mr. McLachlan exhibited, on behalf of Mr. Bradley, of Birmingham, the specimens of Diptera attacked by a fungus of the genus Empusa, of which an account had recently appeared in the Entomologist's Monthly Magazine.—Mr. H. Tunaley exhibited specimens of Lobophora viretata from the neighbourhood of Birmingham. Specimens of the green dark form were shown in their natural positions on the bark, and specimens of the yellow form were shown on leaves on which they rested.—Mr. J. W. Tutt exhibited cases formed by a lepidopterous insect received from the Argentine Republic, which he said he recognised as being either identical with, or closely allied to, Thyridopteryx ephemerœformis, which did great damage to many orchard and forest trees in North America.
