when the wings are expanded ; it is therefore fortunate that 

 their oeconomy is widely different to the Tinese, (pi. 511.)» to 

 which they are closely allied and bear so strong a resem- 

 blance that it will be necessary to point out the differences. 

 The male Euplocami are distinguished by fasciculated an- 

 tennae, having a pectinated appearance ; the labial palpi are 

 recurved in both sexes, there seems to be one joint more in the 

 maxillary palpi than I discovered in the Tineae, but they are 

 so minute and difficult to examine that I may be mistaken. 



The only species discovered in this country is the 

 E. mediellus Hilb. — Curt. Brit. Ent. j^l. 591.9. — Noctua Bo- 

 leti Fab. 



The outline of a Caterpillar from Hiibner is given in the 

 corner of our Plate; it feeds upon theBoletus versicolor [pi. 39.), 

 is of a yellowish white colour, with the head and a horny plate 

 behind it of a red colour, as well as a spot on the apical 

 segment. Specimens of the Moth were captured during last 

 July on Wanstead Flats by G. Robertson, Esq.; the females 

 were found resting on the trunks of Aspen-trees, and the males 

 were taken flying round the same trees in the dusk of the 

 evening, and close to the roots the empty pupae were observed 

 protruding through the turf. Mr. D. Bydder first discovered 

 this species in the New Forest; and Mr. Ingpen records its 

 having been taken at Birch Wood in September. 



Mr. Robertson showed me a variety of the female, in which 

 the base of the antennae, the face, apex of the palpi, and a por- 

 tion of the anterior legs, are coloured black with a chalybeous 

 tint ; this specimen was taken the end of June on Wanstead 

 Flats. 



The Plant is Lychnis Flos-Cuculi (Meadow Pinks, or Rag- 

 ged Robin).
