30 LEPIDOPTERA. 



logist for 1850, Appendix c. Newman describes it as 

 Pysche Fenella, but the specimens then known were not as 

 fine as some Mr. Weaver subsequently bred, when Mr. 

 Stephens was enabled to recognize it as the opacella of 

 Herrich-Schaffer. It is still in few collections. 



Psyche marCxINEnigrella, Bruand ; in the collection 

 of Mr. Bond. The following notice of it appears in the 

 Proceedings of the Entomological Society for May, 1853. 

 " Mr. Bond exhibited a specimen of a Psyche new to this 

 country, pronounced by Mr. Bruand, who was engaged on 

 a Monograph of the Psychiclce to be his P. marginenigrella. 

 Mr. Bond reared it from a case which he found attached to 

 a tree, either in Lancashire or Yorkshire." M. Bruand 

 returned the specimen as probably new, and suggested the 

 name in case it should prove so ; but he wished to see more 

 specimens, and know more of its history, before describing it, 

 hence it is not mentioned in his Monograph of the Psychiclce. 



Fumea reticella, Newman ; first recorded by Mr. New- 

 man in the Zoologist for 1847, p. 1863— " Mr. Ingall has 

 captured a small Psyche, with beautifully mottled wings; it 

 is very different from the known British species, but in some 

 degree resembles Psyche undulella of the Continent ; it is 

 proposed to call the new species Psyche retiella." Mr. 

 Stevens met with it near Sheerness in June, 1850, among 

 Plantago maritima (see Zoologist, 1850, page 2857). New- 

 man describes it in the Zoologist for 1850, Appendix xciv., 

 under the name of Psyche reticella. It is not at present in 

 many collections. 



Lithosia PYGMiEOLA, Doubleday ; first recorded in the 

 Zoologist for 1847, page 1914, where Doubleday describes 

 it, and then adds — " This small species, which appears to be 

 new, has been taken on the coast of Kent among rushes." 

 A more detailed notice of the capture of this species, from 

 the pen of Mr. Harding, appears in the Zoologist for 1849,
