in the Proceedings of the Entomological Society, for July, 

 1849 — " Mr. Weir exhibited specimens of Antithesia Ca- 

 prceana, reared froms allow leaves." Mr. Doubleday writes 

 me> — " I have bred it from sallows, but it seems rare here, 

 and I am not aware that it is common anywhere — it is a very 

 distinct species." 



Antithesia ochroleucana, Hiibner; first recorded as 

 British by myself, in the Zoologist for 1848, page 1987— It 

 is a common species in gardens, the larva feeding on the 

 rose. 



Antithesia pr^elongana, Guenee; first recorded as 

 British by myself, in the Zoologist for 1848, at page 1988 — 

 I have several times met with it Scotland. 



Antithesia dimidiana, Treit. ; the capture in this 

 country is first recorded by Mr. Weaver, in the Zoologist 

 for 1845, at page 847, as Antithesia Weaver ana. In the 

 Zoologist for 1848, page 1988, 1 described it under the name 

 of A. leucomelana. It is not at all an uncommon species in 

 Scotland and in the north of England. 



Antithesia sauciana, Hiibner ; the first notice we find 

 of this as a British insect is in the Proceedings of the En- 

 tomological Society, for April, 1849, when u Mr. Douglas 

 stated that the Tortrix, taken last season at Leith Hill, 

 Surrey, by Mr. Benjamin Standish, was the true Penthina 

 sauciana of Hiibner." The insect has since occurred in 

 plenty in the north of England, among bilberry, and is now 

 in most collections. 



Antithesia Grevillana, Curtis ; figured and described 

 by Curtis, in his British Entomology, fol. 567, from speci- 

 mens captured by Dr. Greville, and Mr. James Wilson in 

 Sutherlandshire, in July. Two or three specimens have 

 since been taken by Mr. Weaver. 



Spilonota ros^colana, Doubleday ; thus noticed by 

 Mr. Douglas, in the Zoologist for 1849, page 2364— " From
