BIBLIOGRAPHY. 283 



on August 1 2th, 1890, I took a female specimen of G. rhamnt, having 

 the usual yellowish green of the underside almost entirely replaced by 

 faint purple ; when contrasted with the type, the effect is very striking. 

 I took the insect as it was drying its wings, it is therefore in splendid 

 condition. — W, Mansbridge, Luther Place, Horsforth, near Leeds. 



Two B'ORMS OF Spilonota roborana. — We get two forms of S. 

 roborana at Portland, the ordinary form, and a form with a yellowish 

 tinge, in which the dark markings are much lighter than usual. Both 

 these forms and vS. hicaniatana occur amongst Rosa spinosissima. — N.

Lepidoptera. 



Anthocharis cardainines ab. nov. ci/ierea Newnham. Shropshire. 

 EiiL Rcc. 1890, 242. 



Conchylis {Eiipceci/ia) erigerana n. sp. Walsingham. E.M.M., 3. 

 This is, in part, what was called antheniidana by McLachlan and 

 Barrett. It has been found at Shoreham, in Kent, near London, 

 on the Norfolk-Suffolk border, and near Norwich. The larva 

 feeds in the flowers of Erigeron acre. 



Tinea sitbtilella Fuchs, Richardson, E.M.M., 14. Eight specimens 

 were taken at Portland. The species bears some resemblance 

 to a very small T. biselliella. 



Tachyptilia popiilella var. nov. minor Tutt, Ent. Rec, 1890, 244. Deal. 



Gekihia {Anacampsis) sparsiciliella n. sp., Barrett. E.M.M., 7-8. 

 Near Pembroke. Peculiar for having pale blotches at the base 

 of the costal and dorsal cilia. 



Symmoca signatella H.-S., Griffith. E.M.M., 8. Near the London 

 Docks. A species of Gelechiida^, no doubt imported with some 

 cargo. Seven specimens were found. 



A. G. Butler. " Further notes on the synonymy of the genera of 

 Noctuites." Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond., 1890, 653-691. This paper 

 contains references to a few British species. Nonagria gemini- 

 puncia is said to be congeneric with Oria {Tapinostola) fulva. 

 Ommaiostola, Grote, is made to include our Nonagria camice, 

 spargaiiii, arundinis and lutosa. N. brevilinea has been referred 

 by Mr. Tutt to Leiicatiia, so that only one British species, JY. 

 neurica, is left in Nonagria. Badena sens, str., Guen., is con- 

 sidered a group of Mamestra. G/cca, Hbn. is used for vaccinii 

 and var. ligida (our spadicea, so-called). 

 Coleoptera. 



PityophtJwrus {Jichtensteinii var. ?) scoticus nov., Sharp MS., W. F. H. 

 Blandford. E.M.M., 15. This insect was taken at Braemar, and 

 is provisionally referred to lichtensteinii^ but it is the P. scoticus of 

 Dr. Sharp's MSS., and probably a valid species. In the same 

 valuable paper the so-called F. micrographics of our lists is referred 

 to P. piibescens (Marsham), which is better known by the later 

 name P. ramulorum Perris. It is doubtful whether we have the 

 true P. micrographus Gyll.
