lists. They are — like all the other British specimens which have come 

 under my notice — small dark turionella. Moreover, the original 

 description of duplana (as British) in the Ent. Ann., 1856, p. 34, 

 proves that the specimens were not true duplana -. " Like a small dark 

 turionella, but the thorax grey only, the head and palpi ferruginous." 

 But in duplana, as sent from Germany by Professor Zeller, the head 

 and palpi are grey, and the markings and colouring quite different. 

 The Scottish specimens are small, and the thorax is decidedly dark, 

 agreeing vpith the darker wings, but no character seems to exist which 

 is available to distinguish them from turionella. I think duplana 

 should now be expunged from our lists. 



Tortrix dissimilana, Bentley. — The original specimen is in the 

 same collection, and was correctly referred to piceana, L. It is, how- 

 ever, rather a curious variety, having the markings edged here and 

 there with faint black streaks. Prom the name which he gave it, 

 Mr. Bentley would seem to have been acquainted with both sexes. 

 'No British specimen of the male is, however, known to be extant. 



Stigmonota Seegerana, Dup. ?. — The original specimen (and pro- 

 bably the only known British example), labelled "taken at Whittlesea 

 Mere in July," is in the same collection. It is rather faded, but is 

 unmistakeably corollana, Hiib., — thus confirming a correction already 

 made. 



In Mr. Shepherd's collection are also several of the original types, 



on the faith of which species were included in our fauna, which were 



afterwards expunged as aliens. They all appear in Stephens' Brit. 



Museum Catalogue, but only as reputed British species, and with the 



locality, "North America?." These specimens are carefully labelled

Obliquana, Bent. 



These names appear in Stephens' Catalogue, page 90, and obli- 

 quana is figured very accurately by Mr. Humphreys ("W". and H., v. 

 ii, pi. 80, fig. 8). I believe this species to be Pandemis alhariana, 

 Walk., a native of North America. It agrees very well with the 

 figure in Lord Walsingham's work on North American Tortricidce, 

 plate 62, fig. 10. 



",Trileucana."- — This is PtgcJioloma persicana, Fitch (hlandana, 

 G\Qmejis,,fragariann, Packard), agreeing well with North American 

 specimens sent me some years ago by Professor Pernald, of Maine 

 State College. In Stephens' list, p. 90, Croesia trileucana. 



"Biustulana" (two specimens). — This is figured in Westwood
