Vol. iv., p. 355. — Xylophasia lateritia, Hufn. A single 

 specimen of this species, not previously known as i3ritish, 

 was taken on the coast of Glamorganshire, South Wales, by 

 Mr. W. E. K. Allen, Llandaff, about the year 1 887 ; but being- 

 mistaken for a variety oi AphH" iidrriui, which it somewhat 

 resembles, was then overlooked. It has now been brought 

 under notice by Mr. H. W. X'ivian. It is of the size of 

 X. lithoxjih^(( ; of coarse, dull texture of fore wings, which are 

 red-brown or liver-coloured, very uniform, the only markings 

 being a distinct yellow cloudy spot edged behind with black, 

 in the ])lace of the reniform stigma ; a series of obscure black 

 dots representing the second line ; and some pale yellow dots 

 on the costa. Hind wings smoky whitish-brown. It is 

 a species well known in Central l]urope and many parts 

 of Northern Europe, and apparently not an unlikely insect to 

 occur with us. Should it establish its claim to rank as 

 a British species its natural place would seem to be between 

 A', pohiodoit and X. ni/rc 



Vol. vi. Plate 25 1. I am informed by Mr. lO. AVheeler, 

 from whose exquisite drawini^s the figures of moth's ryy.s in 

 this work were derived, that the two figures on this plate 

 have been transposed ; that the figure Ic therein is that 

 of the eo-g of Cntora//' J'rd.rini, and figure 2 that of

Vol. vi., p. 72. — Cucullia lychnitis. The pupa of this 

 species has been most kindly sent me for description by 

 Mr. Percy C. Peid. It is rather short and thick, the tongue- 

 case very stout, rounded, and so much elongated as to reach 

 ([uite to the anal segment; wing-covers also thick, semi- 

 transparent ; the limb-cases so closely compacted that this
