Corrigenda ; 



The publication of the paper on this genus in the February number 

 of this magazine, in its present form, was unfortunate, and resulted from 

 a misunderstanding by the Editor of a letter addressed by me to him. 

 The paper was prepared from specimens c&ntained in Mr. Belfrage's first 

 collection, and was sent by me to the Editor some months ago. Further 

 study of that collection and of additional material, induced me to suppress 

 some of the descriptions and to amend others, and with a view thereto I 

 requested a return of that portion of the mss. Unfortunately my letter 

 was misunderstood, and the wrong mss was returned to me, while the 

 paper on Laverna was published. The following corrections will, I hope, 

 prevent any confusion which might otherwise arise. 



For L. lyoncticUa, wherever it occurs in that paper, read Z. (enotheraeila. 

 Z. lyonetiella was the original mss name, given from its resemblance in 

 ornamentation to some species of Lyonetia. Afterwards, on discovering 

 the food plant, the name was changed to L. cenotheraella at p. 30 anfe t but 

 the correction was not made throughout the paper. 



For Z. ignotilisdla, p. 33, read Z. ignobilisella. The description of 

 this species is imperfect, and was intended to be suppressed. It is not in 

 my power now to improve it. 



For Z. fuscocristaicHa, p. 34. I am satisfied from further study that 

 this description was made from damaged specimens of the species 

 described by me in the January number as Ncera fuscocristatdla. Naera 

 is preoccupied among Mollusca, and I substitute for it Leuce. It is more 

 nearly allied to Gelechia than to Laverna. 



For Z. miscccahmella, p. 34, read miscecolorella. The following 

 description is at least an improvement on the former one : 



Vertex and antennae brown ; face and inner surface of the palpi 

 ochreous yellow ; outer surface of the palpi brown, except at the base and 

 extreme tip, which are ochreous yellow ; thorax on top and basal third of
