not have superseded the generic name Glyphipteryx, nor have 

 given to Latreille's true CEcophora the title of Dasycera. 



Latreille established the genus CEcophora in his " Histoire 

 Natiirelle" and expressly says, the types are the Tinea sulphu- 

 rella and Oliviella of Fabricius, and thus characterizes them : 

 " Two very long palpi ; 2nd articulation more clothed with 

 scales than the others ; the last of the same length, almost 

 conical and naked." 



It is true that the same author, to avoid creating Genera in 

 this Order, has in his " Genera Cn/stec^or?<w" enumerated eight 

 Tineae as exam})les; but the character which he there gives, 

 " Palpi recurved beyond the head" will at once exclude our 

 Glyphipteryx, which has drooping Palpi: and in his last work, 

 " Families Naturelles" he says of CEcophora, " Labial palpi 

 much longer than the head, and thrown backward as far as the 

 top of the thorax." 



The following are British species of Pancalia. 



1. P. Woodiella Curt. Brit. Ent. 304. — The only specimen 

 I have seen of this beautiful Moth, which is larger than the 

 others, is a female; it was taken on Kersall-moor the middle 

 of last June by Mr. R. Wood, of Manchester, to whom I 

 have the pleasure of dedicating it; — a most zealous and suc- 

 cessful naturalist, to whose liberality I am indebted for this 

 and many other valuable insects. 



2. P. Latreillella Cwr//s. — Fuscous, superior wings ochreous 

 orange, with 7 embossed silver spots on each. This species is 

 distinguished from the following by its considerably larger size, 

 the antennae are entirely fuscous, the orange of the superior 

 wings is rather of a different tint, and the silver spots towards 

 the apex are not of the same form. — I forget its locality. 



3. P. Leuwenhoekella Linn. — Haw. 574. 47. — Taken by 

 Mr. Dale, the 1st of June, near Bristol; it was abundant 

 amongst grass and fern near Ambleside, and I met with it last 

 May, in a wood near Kimpton. 



4. P. Merianella Linn.— Haw. 531. 17.— Micella Hub., 

 Tin. 31. 210.— Reaum.? 1. p. 11. f. 12.— The Caterpillars 

 feed on the Plum and Bird-Cherry. The Moth is very com- 

 mon amongst Heath, at Ramsdown, Hants, the end of Au- 

 gust, and in other parts of the same county. 



5. P. fusco-aenea Llaw. 537. 21. — " (The Brown-brassy). 

 7 lines broad. Anterior wings fuscous-aeneous, shining, of a 

 coppery tint. Posterior linear-subulate, black, shining." Haw. 



6. P. fusco-cuprea Hax^o. 537. 22. — " (The Brown-copper). 

 5\ lines broad. Anterior wings fuscous-cupreous, imma- 

 culate. Very much like the preceding but smaller, wings 

 broader in proportion to the size ; posterior fuscous shining." 

 Haw. — Mr. Stephens includes these two insects in his genus 

 Pancalia, but I have had no opportunity to examine them. 



The plant is Clinopodium mdgare (Wild Basil).
