 This species is recorded by Barrett frDin South D(>von and Exmoor; also from 

 Giamorgansliire. It is, however, not unlikely that it has been confounded with 

 E. dotata, Linn, (pyraliata, Fabr.), which Barrett sajs is gencralij distributed in 

 Devon, and occurs also in Glamorganshire and Pembrokeshire, and which I liave 

 several times taken at Mortelioe].

\_Endromis versicolora, Linn. H. G. H. In the Victoria History of Devon 

 Mr. Barrett says, on the authority of Ed. Parfitt, that a single specimen has been 

 taken at Barnstaple. It is not easy to see how Mr. Heaven could have failed to 

 identify this correctly, supposing that he actually caught the insect and compared 

 it with a figure. But it seems a strange locality for the moth].
