32. LIST OF BUTTERFLIES COLLECTED IN FLORIDA BY DR. PALMER.
Mr. S. H. SCUDDER exhibited a collection of butterflies from Key West and. other parts of Florida, received from Dr. Edw. Palmer. He had found many Cuban forms among these, as he had anticipated. The following is a list of the species contained in the collection : Callidryas agolithe, given as C. argunte in Edwards' Synopsis.
Callidryas sennae Poey, sometimes confounded with 0. marcellina.
Erycides sp., a very interesting new species from Indian River, in fine condition.
Pieris cleomes in two forms, at least as regards the female, one dark and the other pale. P. cleomes seems to be distinct from P. monuste.
Eumenia alala, very common in Cuba and very common at the Keys.
Melitaea frisea Poey, from Lake Okeechobee, never taken in the U. S. before.
Thecia favonius Abb.
Thecla eurytulus, which is figured in Hubner's Exotic But- terflies as coming from the U. s., but is not included in Edwards' Synopsis.
Lycaena Pseudoptiliies, which is not in Edwards' Synopsis. Kirby calls it a synonym of L. hanno and also a synonym of It. filenus, but these are certainly three distinct species. Lycaena Pseudofea Morrison, from the Keys and from St. Johns. It was previously called L. isophthaJma by Herrich- Schaeffer,
A Hesperian, which Mr. Scudder does not know. Acolastus savignyi.
Anartia jatrophae.
Mr. H. K. MORRISON said that the dark variety of Pieris monuste L. is frequently found in the Southern States, and that often both wings are entirely suffused with black. Now. 13, 1874.

33. INSECTS IMPORTED FROM EUROPE. Dr. H. A. HAGEN read some notes on insects which purport to have been imported into this country from Europe. At the previous meeting he had said that three-fourths of the species of insects which were introduced into America were not indigenous to Europe, but if they had come to this country from Europe they had equally come to Europe previously from the east. Their line of migration was indicated in some cases by the names they bore. All these migrating insects had spread from the east toward the west. Dr. Hagen now took up the subject of clothes-moths and their allies. In recent years, lists of in- sects imported into America had been made by B. D. Walsh, by C. V. Riley, and by J. A. Lintner.
In these lists Tinea ves-
tianella, T. tapetzella, T. pelliondla and T. flavifrontella are said to have been imported from Europe.
Dr. Hagen says that
Linnaeus' description of T. vestianella is not sufficient for the recognition of the species. The only specimens of T. tapetzella known to have been collected in this country are the type of V. T. Chambers' description and two specimens in the Harris collection. Dr. Hagen has not seen T. pellionella in this coun- try, and it is doubtful whether the common species known in this country as T. flavifrontella is identical with the European species that bear that name.
