By Treitschke's 9th Vol. I leavn that the type of Schrank's 

 genus PluteUa is Tinea Xylostella Linn. I have therefore 

 adopted Hiibner's name of Harpipterix (Scythe-winged). 



Harpipterix approaches so near to Chilo that it is difficult 

 to determine to which, one of the species belongs ; in the Guide 

 I included it in the latter group, but on comparing the palpi 

 I think it may be admitted into the former genus, which con- 

 tains the following British species. 



6. H. cxAireWo. Hub. Tin. 16. 109. ? .— Acinacidellus Hiih.S'^. 

 237. 



End of June marshy places ; in a field at Kimpton, Rev. 

 G. T. Rudd, and Mr. Dale took one at Blandford that came 

 to a lighted candle the 8th of November. The Caterpillar 

 feeds on Euojii/mns europceus (pi. 194). 



1. H. nemorella JLinn. — hamella Huh, 41. 282. 



June and July marshy places ; August woods. — The Ca- 

 terpillar feeds on Lonicera Caprifolium (pi. ]24). 



2. H. scabrella Linn. — Curt. Brit. Ent. pi. 535 $ . 



The Caterpillar feeds on the common Plum-tree, and the 

 Moth appears in July. 



3. H. as])erella LiJin. — Hub. 15. JOl.— falcatella Don. 10. 



pi. 355. 5. 

 This beautiful little Moth has been taken by Mr. Dale and 

 myself amongst the lichen on Apple-trees in his Orchard at 

 Glanville's Wootton, the 8th of September and the 1st and 

 17th of October. 



4. H. harpella TV. V.—Hiib. 16. 110.— dentella Fab. 

 Middle of July, hedges and gardens on the Honeysuckle, 



on which the Caterpillar feeds. 



5. H. subfalcatella Blunt's MSS. ? 



Length 3, breadth 10 lines: purplish-brown: superior 



wings with an ochreous or coppery tinge, mottled with a 



darker colour, 5 or 6 black dots on the costa beyond the 



middle, interior margin obscurely coloured with purplish 



grey, bounded by an indented line, on which are 2 or 3 



dark tufts of scales : abdomen and inferior wings satiny 



white, the apex of the former and margin of the latter 



fuscous. 



This species has been taken in the New Forest, and as it is 



not the T.falcella of Hiibner, which it was at first stated to be, 



I have added the above characters to identify it. 



The Plant is Pyrus torminalis (Wild Service tree), commu- 

 nicated by E. T. Bennett, Esq.
