find that Argyrosetia has nothing more than the metallic co- 

 lour of the superior wings to distinguish it from Ederesa. I 

 expect the larvae have 16 feet, but whether they are subcuta- 

 neous or live in leaves, rolled up by themselves, I am not able 

 to say; if Stewart be correct, the caterpillar of E. Pruniella 

 " harbours in the flowers of the cherry, and having destroyed 

 the part of fructification, it connects them with a thread; it is 

 of a whitish-green colour ; the head and first segment of the 

 body brown and shining." The following are our species. 



1. Clematella Fab.— Wood, pi. 42./ 1303. — repandella Hiib, 



pi. 37./ 256. 

 The caterpillar feeds on the Clematis, the moth occurs at 

 Darent the beginning of July.

These insects I described in the Ent. Mag. several years 

 since; they were taken in the New Forest by Mr. C. Lyell. 

 Wood's fig. 1301 is a totally different species, which appears 

 to belong to another group: his fig. 1300 does not represent 

 my variety, which has the upper wings castaneous and grey, 

 instead of fulvous. 



Melittis Melissophyllum, var. grandijlora. Purple and white 

 Bastard Balm, from W^estwood, near Netley Abbey, was 

 communicated by Dr. Bromfield.
