The following species have been detected in Britain, but 

 not one of them has been figured in the works of tliis country 

 that 1 am aware of. 



1. A. flammealis Hub. Pyr. pi. 15. f. 99.— Go(Ia. v. 8. 



pi. 223. 7. 



This insect has more pointed wings than the following, and 

 tlie anterior coxae are very slender and remarkably long ; the 

 scales also on each side of the thorax are very much elongated. 



M. Duponchel says it flies in society about flowers after 

 sunset. It is not uncommon the end of June in the broom 

 fields at Coombe and Darent Woods : 12 and 28 July, Tor- 

 quay and Valley of Rocks, Mr. Dale : Teignmouth, Captain 

 Blomer : beginning of August, amongst grass and heath, near 

 Blackgang-chine, J. C. 



2. A. glaucinalis Li/in. — Goda. 223. 2.— nitidalis Hiib. 1 5. 98. 



In houses, gardens and hedges, July and beginning of 

 August, in the neighbourhood of London.

 Dale. August 22, Hampton Wick, Middlesex, and on

bands margined with white, the first at the base, the posterior 



one marginal." — Hax'o. In the cabinets of Mr. Swainson and 



Mr. Raddon, who, I believe, took it near Barnstaple, Devon. 



6. A. pictalis Curt. Brit. Ent. pi. 503. 



For the loan of this unique insect I am indebted to G. 

 Robertson, Esq., who found it on the side of a house in Poplar 

 near London in July. It considerably resembles the following 

 species, but it is much smaller, the upper wings are narrower 

 as well as the band, and the base of all the wings is lead 

 colour. 



5. farinalis Lirin. — Hilb. 15- 95. — Goda.pl. 223. 1. 

 Found in houses in July and August ; frequent also in sta- 

 bles, on walls and the trunks of trees in gardens, and on paling
