In July 1812 Douglas captured some specimens of a Tortrix at 



St. Osytb (Essex) which he recorded as Carpocapsa {sp. n.) 



allied to pupillana [Ent. I. 381 (1812)], and in 1811 Westvvood 

 (Br. Moths II. 138) described the species as new under the name 

 Carpocapsa maritima (Dale MSS.). On the last page of the first 

 edition of Doubleday's List (published in November 1819) the same 

 species is identified as Catoptria wimmerana, Tr., under which name 

 it is also recorded by Stephens in the British Museum List (1852), 

 and, quoting from this List, Westwood in the Synopsis to the second 

 edition of his British Moths (p. xi) sunk maritima as a synonym of 

 wimmerana, Tr. In this he was followed by Stainton, Wilkinson and 

 others. 



About 1870 some doubt seems to have arisen as to the correct 

 a[)plication of the name wimmerana to our English species, and in the 

 last Supplement to his List (1873), Doubleday revived Dale's MS. 

 name maritimana which he had formerly used as a synonym. Writing 

 of " Orapholita wimmerana, Wilk.," Barrett [Ent, Mo. Mag. XI. 11 — 

 15 (1871)] states that he should have followed Doubleday in sub- 

 stituting for this Dale's MS. name maritimana, but he chooses 

 candidulana, iNlkn., as the earliest name, adding "there being no 

 figure or description published of ma"itimana, Dale." In this he 

 was obviously misled by Doubleday and by Stephens, who had both 

 overlooked Westwood's description of maritima, which name must 

 undoubtedly be accepted in lieu of " wimmerana, Wilk." (nee Tr.). 

 In identifying our British specimens as candidulana, Nlkn., Barrett 

 was influenced by the reception of exponents of that species from 

 Zeller, and found " that the paler specimens of our insect agree
