Abstract
LONDON. Entomological Society, December 5.—Capt. H. J. Elwes, President, in the chair.—Mr. F. Merrifield exhibited hybrids belonging to the genus Saturnia, obtained by Dr. Standfuss, of Zürich; viz. a male and female hybrid from a male of Saturnia pavonia and a female of Saturnia pyri, to which he had given the name of Saturnia emiliæ; also hybrids from what Dr. Standfuss described as “a male of Callimorpha dominula, var. persona” (received from Tuscany) and a typical female of Callimorpha dominula, to which he had given the name of romanovi. Mr. Merrifield remarked that the so-called var. persona differed entirely from the type of Callimorpha dominula.—Mr. J. W. Tutt exhibited, and read notes on, specimens of a very small form of Euchloë taken in Shropshire by the Rev. F. B. Newnham, who was of opinion that it was distinct from E. cardamines.
