mention, that Dr. Van Vollcnhoven has given mc a type of his Sdati- 

 dria cercipes, which is, without doubt, identical with the analls of 

 Thomson. The latter name having priority, must be adopted. Mr. 

 C. W. Dale has sent me a Selandria from Glanville's "VVootton, which 

 seems to be analis ; but the yellow mai-k on the last segment is smaller 

 than in the specimen I had from Holland. 



Eriocampa iETKiops (E. M. M., xiii, 192). 

 I sent a specimen of this insect to Prof. Zaddach of Konigsberg, 

 who tells me that it is a new species, and that to name it cethiops, after 

 a totally different insect had long been known under that name (to 

 say nothing as to the uncertainty about the true Eabrician insect), 

 would only lead to fresh confusion. "With these remarks I am inclined 

 to agree, and I would propose the name of caninas for it, being a rose 

 feeding species. 



Nematus compeessicor>'is, Eab. 

 = vallator, Voll. 

 This is probably a common species in England. It has been sent 

 me by Mr. C. W. Dale and by Mr. J. E. Fletcher. The larva has been 

 described by A^an Vollcnhoven (Tijd. Ent., i, 191, pi. 12 ; Zool. S. 8., 

 7855).

 I found the easily-recognisable larva; of this species at Lairg, Suther- 

 landshire, last June. 



Xematus erytiieogasteb. 



Thoms., llym. Scand., i, 103, 27 (1872), nee Norton, Proc. Ent. 

 Soc. Phil, iii, 8 (18G4). A single specimen of this insect has been 

 taken at AVorcester by Mr. Eletcher. Its nearest ally is N. conjugatus, 

 Dbm., from which it may be known by having the whole of the oral 

 region and the back of the abdomen luteous, the 3rd eubmarginal 

 cellule is shorter (in conjugatus it is longer than broad), the 2nd re- 

 current ncrvure is not received at such a great distance from the 

 Bubmargiual, while the wings themselves are clearer and the nervures 

 and stigma blacker. As Thomson's name is inadmissible, I would pro- 

 pose for it the name of crassivetitris.
