Book Description
Excerpt from The Entomologist's Monthly Magazine, Vol. 9 of 34 Owing to the difficulty of finding individual larvae sparingly scattered among masses of moss, I have been unable to compare to gether those of southern G. Similis and northern var. Confinis, so can only say that they feed at the same time on similar mosses, and that the moths emerge simultaneously. Meyrick, hb. Br. Lep., 589 sinks confinis as a dark northern form of G. Nfinis, Dgl., but this is clearly erroneous, for the former never shows the peculiar characteristics by which all the forms of the latter may be readily recognised, and which include a pale ochreous spot at the extreme base of the fore-wing, an additional (5. E., a fourth) black spot which lies on the fold towards the base, the presence of numerous pale ochreous scales scattered over the ground colour, and of some longitudinal dashes of pale ochreous scales following each of the three anterior black stigmata. Afim's also has all the pale scales and the pale fascia much more ochreous, and the latter' much more constant and more strongly pronounced than similis.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Entomologist's Monthly Magazine, 1878-9, Vol. 15 Miss Eleanor A. Ormerod, Of Spring Grove, Isleworth, was elected a Member. Mr. Grut exhibited, on behalf of the Rev. T. A. Marshall, a collection of insects captured by the latter in the West Indian Islands of Antigua, Martinique, &c. Mr. F. Smith exhibited a series of examples Of a Harvesting Ant, apparently identical with Myrmica barbata, sent to Mr. Darwin from Florida, by Mrs. Mary Treat. These were remarkable for the variation that existed in the teeth of the mandibles, some having acute teeth, others rounded teeth, and in others the teeth were obsolete, but no intermediate conditions were present, and he had no inform ation as to whether the forms inhabited different nests or otherwise.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Entomologist's Monthly Magazine: Vol; 5-6 AT the conclusion of the fifth volume, we beg to express our thanks to our supporters, to whom is due the steadily increasing useful ness of the Magazine hoping also that the termination of a second lustrum will find us enjoying then, as now, the same amicable relations with them, and the same unity of purpose amongst ourselves with the satisfaction of knowing that, in having constantly held in view the advancement of Entomology, we have maintained an independence of party feeling, the entertainment of which, even in the slightest degree, is fatal to scientific progress, and a thing to be eschewed by all true naturalists. We regret exceedingly that for many numbers of this volume we were unable, through extreme pressure, to give prompt attention to many important communications, and this notwithstanding the issue of several enlarged numbers: our correspondents will please bear in mind that our constant aim is to clear ofi' accumulations of materials as soon as possible. In answer to enquiries as to the financial condition of the under taking, we simply say that experience seems to prove that each volume recoups its expenses (and nearly exhausts our present limited impression) in about four years, a result we had scarcely hoped for at our commencement, and which gives an additional guarantee for a long existence.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Entomologist's Monthly Magazine, Vol. 25 Vol. Xxv has extended to a somewhat inconvenient bulk, necessitated by the resolve to commence each Vol. Of the Second Series in January, and to end it in December. This has been repeatedly urged upon us. The two Editors who took part at the inauguration of the Magazine in 1864, and who still remain on the staff, have no reason to regret the result of their endeavours to further, through its pages, the cause of Entomology during the period that has since elapsed. Those of the Editors who have joined 'at subsequent periods share this feeling. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Entomologist's Monthly Magazine, Vol. 17 I ought to call attention to the fact that in some features Temple ton's figure of M polypoda (trans. Ent. Soc., vol. I, plate xi) bears a considerable resemblance to this species, but as his figure is so roughly drawn, and as he gives no details nor colour with it, it is impossible to say whether or not he had this species before him. I should also have mentioned that the insect became of a yellowish white colour in Spirits. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Entomologist's Monthly Magazine, Vol. 6 of 31 The following day the clouds were higher, and, skirting Loch Assynt by the Lochinver road until we reached the ruined castle, we turned towards the mountains, ascending the right hand bank of the Calda burn. A gleam of sunshine brought out a number of Lyccenu Icarus, nearly all the under-sides of which were very pale, and with relatively small spots; a form which, so far as my limited experience goes, is abundant in n.w. Ireland, as well as in n.w. Scotland, and difiers considerably from the usual southern type. A specimen that I collected near the same locality four years previously is beautifully streaked with bluish-black at the base of the hind-wings, and the usual spots very indistinct, almost obsolete. The same year, but a few miles nearer Lochinver, I found anonympka Typhon and Argynnis Aglaia in great abundance the females of the latter being very large and so richly coloured as to bear to this species almost the same relation that the var. Valezinu does to A. Papbiu. Beyond a few L. Caesium, and a solitary specimen of Eupz'thecia nanata that we kicked up in the wet heather, we found no more insects during ourlong climb into the mountains, cloud and occasional showers preventing anything flying.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Entomologist's Monthly Magazine, 1871-72, Vol. 8 It is expedient to have no more synonymy, a word which has now lost all its original meaning. When, out of chaos, synonymy was born, it served a very useful object. Then, six persons called the same insect by as many different names, because they used different books. All the descriptive works on entomology were costly, and few people could possess more than their one author. Then, entomologists of different countries knew nothing of each other s books, and there was real confusion in the names of species and of genera. In short, the error among entomologists was then not communis the majority knew nothing of any other name than that which they themselves used. The case is now so altered, that synonymy does not any longer answer its former function. All entomologists use one name in the vast majority of cases. There is no real confusion, even if different names are used; as, in the very few cases of doubt, entomologists know and use both the names Doom and its synonyms), and no list-writer would be much of a guide in such contested cases as those. The evil in fact now is felt in quite the opposite direction to that in which it once showed itself. Of old, entomologists knew one name only and held to it right or wrong: now they are never satisfied. If a name has been long and generally in use, it is all the more eligible, the writers seem to think, as a victim to the shrine of This restlessness is utterly absurd but the only cure for it is a good broad rule, that entomologists will henceforth ignore all names but those in use now.
