specimen : should it eventually prove to be only an extraordinary form 

 of Harpella Stamtoniella, its occurrence so far west as Portugal is of 

 considerable interest. Hungary, and the neighbourhood of Vienna, 

 are the best known localities for Staintoniella ; I know of no authority 

 for its occurrence in Piedmont, and am disposed to refer the " Ped." 

 in Staudinger and Wocke's Catalogue, p. 306, assigned to the distri- 

 bution of this species, to H. Geoffrella, which we know is so very 

 abundant in Italy. Herr Mann records its occurrence (Stett. ent. 

 Zeit., 1S50, p. 145) by thousands in Tuscany, and remarks, that " it was 

 the most abundant moth of any."

 near Monchique, on the slopes of Foia. 



(Egoconia quadripuncta, Haw. — Three, June 13th, at Ponte de 

 Morcellos. 



Butalis productella, Zell. ?. — One, rather worn, is probably re- 

 ferable to this species. It was captured, June 6th, at Cea.

 specimens referable to the genus Coleopliora, I have not been able to : 

 determine to my satisfaction ; they were both captured April 30th by 

 the main stream below Cintra
