Stigmonota internana, Gn. — 1 have found this pretty species 

 commonly near Xorwich. Probably it occurs throughout the Eastern 

 counties, among furze. 



8tigmonota lyerlepidana. Haw. — This species appears to feed upon 

 Orohns tuherosus as well as O. niger, as it was common among the 

 former plant in the woods near Haslemere, Surrey. M. Jourdhouille 

 states that the larva lives between united leaves, but assumes the 

 pupa state in the ground. 



Stigmonota Leplastriana, Curt. — Dr. Wocte unites capparidana, 

 Zell., with this species, but Prof. Zeller tells me that they are distinct, 

 and this is confirmed by a specimen of capparidana from Sicily, which 

 he has sent me. He and Mr. Stainton tell me that they have received 

 Leplastriana from Herr Mann under the unpublished name of cario- 

 sana. For our insect, Curtis' s name must of course be retained. 



Stigmonota interruptana, "VVilk. — This is not interruptana, H.-S., 

 but Jeguminana, Zell. Mr. Doubleday inserted this name in the 

 supplement to his list, but omitted the reference to the displaced 

 name. The capture of several specimens is recorded in Ent. Mo. 

 Mag., iii, p. 163 ; interruptana^ H.-S. {dupUcana, Zett.), is a very 

 different species, allied to co7iiferana, but lai'ger and handsomer. I 

 have seen no British specimen of it. 



Stigmonota dorsana, Fab. — This is altered in Mr. Doubleday's 

 list to Jumdana, "W. V., but dorsana is retained by Wocke and Zeller 

 as the older name. Prof. Zeller says this species occixrs in pea fields, 

 M. Jourdheiiille that its larva feeds in pods of peas and vetches. 



Stigmonota orohana, Tr. — I cannot find any published notice of 

 the discovery of this species in this country. It is not noticed by 

 Wilkinson, nor in any of the Ent. Annuals. It was first discovered 

 in England by Mr. Thos. Wilkinson, of Scarborough, who bred speci- 

 mens from the seeds of a species of vetch (I think, Orohics niger) , and 

 Mr. Allis sent some of them to Mr. Doubleday under the name of 

 lunulana. Mr. Doubleday seeing that they were distinct, obtained 

 the name from Lederer, and inserted the species in the supplement to 

 his list. A description will therefore be useful. 



Alar. exp. 6 lines. 



Head, antennce, and thorax olive-browu, face and palpi paler. Fore-wings 

 shining olive-hrown, with five pairs of distinct, white, costal streaks, and a creamy- 

 white curved blotch on the middle of the inner margin, dilated at its apex, and
