NEW BRITISH SPECIES SINCE 1835. 49 



rose leaves I reared Spilonota aquana, S , n. s." This 



latter, the new species, is enumerated in Doubleday's Cata- 

 logue, at page 23, as roscecolana ; and also described in the 

 Zoologist for 1850, Appendix cvi. It is not uncommon in 

 gardens in some localities. The rounded costa of the ante- 

 rior wings readily distinguishes it. 



Spilonota amcenana, Dup. ; first noticed as British by 

 myself, in the Zoologist for 1848, page 1988— The insect 

 had then occurred in many localities, and has since been met 

 with plentifully : it frequents the Rosa spinosissima. 



Spilonota neglectana, Dup.; first enumerated as Bri- 

 tish in Doubleday's Catalogue, page 23 — the species had 

 previously been confounded with dealbana, under the name 

 of sod ana. From dealbana it is distinguished by the basal 

 portion of the anterior wings being of a darker colour, with 

 a blueish tint. From Mr. Doubleday's and Mr. Douglas's 

 observations this frequents poplars. 



Spilonota Aceriana, Dup. ; first recorded as British 

 by myself, in the Zoologist for 1847, page 1989, as Philalcea 

 Aceriana; it had previously been confounded with dealbana, 

 It is a very common species among poplars in July. 



Grapholitha minutana, Hubner; described and first 

 recorded as British by Douglas, in the Zoologist for 1845, 

 at page 844, under the name of Carpocapsa minutana. It 

 is by no means uncommon on palings under white poplars, 

 at Camberwell and Blackheath, in July, and is now in most 

 collections. 



Grapholitha geminana, Stephens ; first enumerated 

 and described by Stephens, in his Museum Catalogue, page 

 35 and 99. Specimens are in the collection of Mr. Shep- 

 herd ; according to Stephens it has occurred at Whittlesea- 

 Mere, and in Yorkshire. [Mr. Buxton met with this, in great 

 abundance, at the beginning of August, 1854, on Rivington 

 Pike, near Bolton le Moors.]
