Freyor remarks " Ifc may at once be seen, by comparison, that Euryale is very 

 distinct from Ligea both in size and coloration, and Euryale can scarcely be a 

 modification of Ligea. Particularly since the female examples differ considerably 

 on the under-side of the hind-wings, whilst the female of Ligea never has so 

 conspicuous a band as that of Euryale." The female of Euryale has a broad 

 yellowish band, such as exi&ts in some females of Blandina, — Arthur G. Butler, 

 Zool. Dept., Brit. Mus., 23rd October, 1867. 



%* No person has, as yet, been able to confirm the assertion that Ligea, or a 

 species allied thereto, occurs in the Isle of Arran ; and the above note by Mr. Butler 

 renders it doubly probable that some error occasioned the introduction of Ligea 

 into our lists. — Eds. 



Phycis adelphella hred. — I took a larva, which turns out to be of this species, 

 about five miles from Worcester, July 18th, 1859, feeding between leaves of aspen, 

 of which I find the following descrijition in my journal : — " Olive, with darker 

 stripes, those above spiracular line broadest ; spiracular lino paler ; head and 

 shield dark olive, clouded with black; pale hairs." The pupa is entered as 

 " formed between leaf and box, in a strong white web ; long, light brown, a shining, 

 dark obtuse swelling at the tip." The perfect insect emerged June 24th of the 

 following year." I am indebted to Mr. Tompkins for detecting this species in my 

 collection, as well as a new species of Tineina which I had overlooked. — E. Horton, 

 Powick, Worcester, November 1st, 1867. 



Occurrence of Yi:>solophus ustulellus, Fab., a Lepidopteron new to Britain. — I 

 have sent to Mr. Stainton two examples of the new species of Tineina mentioned 

 in the above notice, which he informs me are Tpsolophus ustulelhis, Fab., a species 

 new to Britain ; and I now send a few words about their capture. The finest 

 was taken, with another as fine, about eight miles from here. May 29th, 1864, 

 sunning itself on lime leaves. I took Roeslerstammia Erxlebella at the same time. 

 The worn specimen was taken close at home in 1865 — I forget the time of year, but 

 I know that I beat it out of hazel. There axe no Ume trees near the place that 

 I know of. — Id. 



Capture of Tysolophus ustulellus. — An example of this new species, of which 

 I believe Mr. Horton has sent an account for publication in the Ent. Mo. Magazine, 

 was captured by myself six years ago ; it is, so far as I know, the first that has been 

 taken in this country : it is in fine and perfect condition. Neither Mr. Horton nor 

 I could determine the species at the time. 



A year or two afterwards Mr. Horton captured two or three, and very lately 

 Mr. Tompkins, who was paying me a visit, called upon Mr. Horton, and pointed 

 out that the insect was new to our lists. — Abraham Edmunds, Cemetery House, 

 Astwood Road, Worcester, Novemher 13th, 1867. 



Occif,rrence of Ebulea catalaunalis, Dup., a species of Lepidoptera new to Britain. — 

 The captor, Mr. W. C. Boyd, writes to me as follows : — 



" I took it in our garden at Cheshunt, September 18th, flying over a flower
