 NOW IN THE OXFOED UNIVERSITY MUSEUM. 



BY JAMES J. WALKER, M.A., R.N., P.L.S. 



{Concluded from vol. xlv, j.i. 181). 



PTBALIDINA (including DELTOIDES). 



Madopa salicalis, W. "V. — Four specimens, including- one ? in excellent 

 condition ; labelled at side " Kent." 



Sophronia emortualis, W. V. — A very fine example, apparently a 9 • Labelled 

 " Taken by the late Charles Healey near the King's Oak, High Beech," and at 

 side "Eloping Forest." {Cf. Barrett, Lep. British Islands, vol. vi, p. 288). 



Herniinia derivalis, Hiibn. — A fine series of twelve specimens, some of them 

 on old pins ; the more recent are labelled " Abbot's Wood " at side. 



P\jralis lienigialis, Zell — A pair in excellent condition ; the ? is labelled 

 "From Rev. H. Burney coll., 1893" (C. W. D.). 



Diasemia ramhurialis, Diip. — One example in good order as t(3 the wings, 

 but lacking the antenna3 and most of the legs. " Folkestone " at side ; probably 

 the specimen referred to by Barrett (I. c, vol. ix, p. 258) as taken in that locality 

 by Mr. W. Purdey in 1878. 



D. literalis. Scop. — Five examples, in good condition and apparently of 

 fairly recent date. " Devon " at side. 



Antigastra catalaunalis, Dup. — A single example in very good condition 

 " from Rev. Burney's coll." (C. W. D.), but with no fvu-ther history. 



Endotricha fiammealis, W. V. — Two fine examples, in which the usual 

 pinkish-fulvous ground colour is almost entirely replaced by a rich dark fuscous- 

 brown tint. " Folkestone " at side. 



Accntropus niveus, Oliv. — Four examples from " Glanvilles Wootton " stand 

 under the label " Garnonsii B. E., pi. 497," and probably include the type 

 specimen figured under the name of A. garnonsii by Curtis, Brit. Ent., plate 

 497 (April 1st, 1834), and therein referred to the Phryganidm {Trichbptera) 

 {Cf. also Stephens, 111. Mand., vol. vi, pp. 148, 151, and " The Natvu-alist," vol. i, 

 p. 14, 1837). One of these is a 9 with rudimentary wings about 1-5 mm. in 

 length, or proportionately of about the same size as those of Chcimatohia 

 hrumata, ? ; this has a printed label " foem :" and a bright red phiin label. A 

 fine 9 with fully developed wings, among others from " G. Wootton " is labelled 

 in a similar manner. 



Margarodes unionalis, Hiib. — Three examples, indifferently set, and in fair 

 to poor order ; the best is labelled " Galley Head, L. H.," and the others, 

 " Taken Kewton Downs, July, 1880," and " Geo. King, Torquay, 1859 " (C. W. D.). 



Botys repandalis, Schiff. — One fine specimen, which bears a printed label 

 apparently cxxt out of a sale catalogue, " bred by Rev. H. Biu-ney from Ver- 

 bascum," and " Torquay" at side. {Cf. Ent. Mo. Mag., vol. xxii, p. 145). 



B. lupulinalis, Clk. — A fine but very badly set specimen on an old gilt pin, 

 with label also cut out of a sale catalogue, " taken from Dr. A. Wallace, 1857, 

 Bembridge, Isle of Wight."
