46 LEPIDOPTERA. 



the Entomological Society in October, 1853. This specimen 

 was taken amongst Inula dysenterica, and in all probability 

 the larva feeds upon that plant. Should this prove to be 

 the case, it will show that this is the Tinea Bjerkayidrella 

 of Thunberg, which was bred from larvae on Inula salicina. 

 It is very distinct from our other British species of Sima'e- 

 this. Mr. S. Stevens has also a specimen taken near 

 Arundel. 



Eudorea alpina, Dale ; first recorded and described by 

 Curtis, in the Annals and Magazine of Natural History, 

 2nd series, vol. v. page 116; the species has occurred on 

 several of the Scotch mountains, but fine specimens seem 

 very scarce. 



Chilo cicatricellus, Hiibner ; a specimen in Mr. Shep- 

 herd's collection was exhibited at the meeting of the Ento- 

 mological Society in September, 1852; it was " taken flying, 

 near Dover." The larva feeds in the stems of the bull-rush 

 (Scirpus lacustris), in June, and changes to pupa within the 

 stem, the perfect insect appearing in July. 



Lozot^inia dumetana, Treit. ; first enumerated as 

 British in Doubleday's Catalogue, page 21. It has only 

 been taken by Mr. Weir in the neighbourhood of Lewes; 

 it is readily distinguished from other British species of the 

 genus by the whitish under wings. 



Leptogramma Scotana, Guenee; first enumerated as 

 British in Doubleday's Catalogue, at page 21 ; it is de- 

 scribed in the Appendix to Stephens's Museum Catalogue. 

 It has been taken in Perthshire by Mr. Weaver. 



Peronea maccana, Treit. ; described and figured as 

 Peronea marmorana in Humphrey's and Westwood's 

 British Moths, vol. ii. p. 159, pi. xciv. fig. 9, from a speci- 

 men taken by Mr. Bentley in Epping Forest in October, 

 1824 ; several specimens have since been bred by Mr. 

 Weaver, from larvae found in Scotland on the Vaccinium 

 myrtillus.
