224 THE entomologist's record. 



The following changes in nomenclature have been proposed by 

 M. Sven Lampa, and are now used extensively by Scandinavian and 

 Continental lepidopterists ; although, I believe, not yet brought to the 

 notice of scientific British lepidopterists : — 



Lyccetia cegon, Auct., replaced iDy argus, L. ; argus by argyrognomon, 

 Bergstr. ; Sesia asiliformis, Rott., by vespiformis, L. ; Hepialus velleda, 

 Hb., by fiisco-nebulosa, De Geer (1778) ; Cymatophora or, F., hy ypsiloii- 

 grczcum, Goze (1781); Moma orion, Esp., by alpium, Osbeck (1778); 

 Rusma lenebrosa, by umbratica, Goze (1781); T(znioca7npa populeti^ Tr., 

 hy poptili, Strdm (1783); Panolis piniperda, Panz., by griseo-variegata, 

 Goze (1781); Xafithia flavago. Fab. {togaia, Esp.), by lutea, Strom 

 (1783); Epione parallelaria, Schiff., by resperfaria, Thnbg. (1784); 

 Boarntia glabraria, Hb., by Jubata, Thnbg. ; Tephrosia punchilaria, 

 Hb., by scopularia, Thnbg. (1784); Gnophos obfuscaria, Hb., by 

 myrtillata, Thnbg. (1792); Scodiona bdgiaria \zx. favillacearia, Hb., 

 hy fagarur, Thnbg. (1784); Cidaria {Thera) simulata, Hb., by cognata, 

 Thnbg. (1792) ; Cidaria [Coremia) spadicearia, Bkh., hy ferrugata, CI. ; 

 C.ferrugata, L., by oh.corculata, Huen. ; C.{Oporabia) diluiata (Bkh.), 

 by nebii/ata, Thnbg. (1784); C. {Emmelesia) albiilaia var. griseata, 

 Stdgr., by } siibfasciaria, Bohem (1852); C. {E.) decolorata hy flavo- 

 fasciata, Thnbg. (1792) ; Cidaria {Asi/ie?ia) /uteaia, Schiff., hy fiavicata, 

 Thnbg. (1784) ; C. {Hypsipetes) irifasciata, Thnbg., Bkh., by autumnalis, 

 Strom. (1783). 



The following varieties have also been 'described by M. Lampa: — 

 Aroynnis aglaia ab. aberrans ; Sphinx piiiastri o.h. fasciatu ; Sarrotliripa 

 undulana ab. glaucana ; Bisulcia ligustri ab. sandevalli (this would 

 appear to be the var. coronula, of Haworth) ; Agrotis {JVodua) brtmnea 

 ab. nigricans; A. {Noctua) pleda ab. anderssoni ; Tceniocampa ificerta 

 ab. pallida ; Scopelosoma saiellitia ab. brunnea ; Anarta vielanopa ab. 

 wisiromi; Angerona prunaria ab. spanbergi ; Bibernia defoliaria ab. 

 holnigreni; Psodos coracina ab. vahlbergi ; Lythria purpiiraria ab. 

 mevesi; Loboplwra halterata Sih. riidolp/tii ; Cidaria dotata 2\y. johansoni 

 (a beautiful specimen of this var " much shaded with grey-brown " was 

 taken at hght in Wicken last July); C. {Coremia) quadrifasciaria v. 

 thedenii. 



The following have also been described : — Asphalia flavicornis var. 

 Jinnmarchia, Schoy., 1881, Ent. I'id. p. 121 (this will probably replace 

 scotica, Stdgr.). Arsilonche albovetiosa, Goze, v. mtirina, Auriv., 1880, p. 

 37, V. albida, Auriv., 1880, p. 38 (this latter will probably replace var. 

 argentea, Tutt, British Nocluce, i., p. 28). — Eniomologisk Tidskrift, 

 1885, pp. 212-213. 



DiPTERA. 



Sciomyza dubia. Fin., captured at Oxshott, August i6th, 1890, and 

 Lynton, June 17th, 1883 (G. H. Vcrrall, Enfoiii., xxiv., p. 235). 



Oxycera terminata, Mg., possibly British, but the record, I.e. — Pachy- 

 gaster Itachii, Curt. Pipunculus }:eniculatus, Mg. {} ^x\i\s\\). Pepizella 

 annulata., Mcq., the record I.e. = P. fiavitarsis ? • Clidogastra punctipes, 

 Mg., the specimen recorded I.e. as this species does not belong to the 

 genus. Oxyphora arnieee, Fin. = O. ?niliaria, Schrk. Sapromyza 

 plaiycephala, Lw., the record I.e. is erroneous, it does not belong to 

 Sapromyzides. Chlorops hypostigma, the record I.e. is erroneous, the 

 specimen does not belong to Chloropida. Pterope?cilia lamed, not yet
