Ephkmekella (sp. 11.). — Ltcvdiilsoreii, July Kith, 1 subiniago ; the largest 

 species of tlie goiiiis (wings 12 inm. long) found hitherto in Europe, but which it is 

 not advisable to name in the absence of the imago. 



Baetis rhodani, Pict. — One ^ imago, Fagernaes, July 11th. 



Baetis pumilus. Burin. — Opheim, July 18th, common. 



Centroptii.0m LtTTEOLUM, Miill. — Grindelieim, July 14th, common. Tlie 

 specimens liad the notum black, fading to dark brown. 



Ameletus lyopiNATUS, Etn.— Nystuen (3250 ft.), July 15tli, 1 9 subiniago. 

 Slightly open to doubt in the absence of tlie imago, but practically certain. 



SiPHLUBUS ^STivALis, Etn. (sp. n.), cf. ante, p. 30.— Soruni, abundant. 



EIeptagenia sulphubea, Miill. — One ^ imago, Opheim, July 18th.

 Fjeldheim, same day, 2 ? and 2 c? imagos by beating trees conspicuous from tlie

Glottula {Sesamia ?) fiisca, Hpsn. — [This is an obseure looking and by no 

 means handsome Nocttta, an incli and a quarter, lo an inch and half, in expanse of 

 wings ; the fore-wings somewhat rounded behind, of a lurid reddish-brown ; the 

 orbicular and reniform stigmata paler, but edged with black ; the first and second 

 lines slender and rippled throughout, black ; beyond the second a straight cloudy 

 black shade ; and the hind marginal space rippled with black. The hind-wings 

 pale smoky-brown. It has only recently been known to science, but has this year 

 become so abundant in the colony as to very seriously affect an important crop — 

 the maize — locally known as mealies. My sister has been for some considerable 

 time investigating its life-history, in the hope of devising some means of checking 

 its devastations, and I now think that her observations may be useful, taken with 

 those of other observers, towards this important object. My brother writes : " The 

 maize crop will be largely a failure, from the ravages of this grub ; all the fields 

 of early mealies are damaged, perhaps two plants out of three becoming unfruitful, 

 but the later mealies may still do something. It is the staple product in these 

 parts (Transkei),and the people are looking anxious." With this exordium I venture 

 to give my sister's notes, as they have reached me from time to time.] 



November 20th, 1901. — " I found these moths in the window, at dusk, inside, 

 over my reai'ing-boxes, but could not find that they had escaped from any box. 

 They are like, but not identical with, my moths reared from Natal lily (Glottula 

 pancratii), but their hind-wings are not so white. Could they have come from the
