Dr. Wofko omits this species from his list, but Ileinemann 

 regards it as synonymous witli his Heydeniana — a very different 

 species. 



It seems to be widely distributed in this country, having been 

 found couunouly near Shoreham, in Kent, and near London, as well 

 as at Lord Walsingham's original locality near Brandon, on the borders 

 of Norfolk and Suffolk, and last season I found a few specimens close 

 to Norwich. It does not seem to have been observed on the Continent. 



Eupoecilia ruficiliana, Haw. — This has already been corrected by 

 Mr. McLachlan, as well as by Dr. "Wocke, to ciliella, Hiibn., with which 

 Ilaworth's brief description agrees very well. 



It appears to feed on various sjiecics of Primula, for Prof. Zeller 

 found it commonly in the Alps among P./arinosa, and. this will per- 

 haps account for its occurrence on high mountain districts in Scotland. 

 Mr. Eedle, however, assures me that he takes the large, handsome, 

 Scotch form among Bog Asphodel {Narthecium ossifragum) . 



There exists in Norfolk a dwarf form, rather brightly marked, 

 and with the fore-wings regularly irrorated with grey scales, w'hich I 

 have been strongly inclined to consider distinct, but it seems im- 

 possible to find any reliable distinctive character, and I therefore bow 

 to Prof. Zeller' 8 opinion that it is merely a local variety, dwarfed by 

 unusual food (probably Anagallis tenella, among which it is found on 

 the boggy heaths). AVilkinson's description of rxificiliana may have 

 been made from similar specimens. 



EiqyoeciUa Begreijana, McLachlan. — Described by Mr. McLachlan 

 in the Ent. Ann., 1SG9, p. 91, and further noticed in Ent. Mo. Mag. 

 vol. V, p. 215. 



Omitted by Dr. Wocke, who has, by some accident, entirely over- 

 looked Mr. McLachlan's paper. 



I have found it commonly near Norwich frequenting Plantago 

 lanceolata, but haA e failed to find the larva. See Ent. Mo. Mag., vii, 

 p. 158. 



The Rev. II. Burney has, however, sent me a specimen which 

 seems unquestionably to belong to this species, which was reared from 

 a larva found feeding in seeds of Linaria vulgaris by Mr. Bree, a good 

 many years ago. 



I have merely placed this species at the end of the genus for con- 

 venience in following Wilkinson's arrangement ; that of Mr. McLachlan 

 is far more natural, as this species approaches very near to roacana and 

 Huviciliana, as well as to ciliellu.
