50 LEPIDOPTERA. 



PHLiEODES crenana, Hiibner ; first enumerated as Bri- 

 tish in Stephens's Museum Catalogue, at page 36. It has 

 been taken in Scotland by Mr. Weaver. 



Anchylopera Upupana, Treit. ; first noticed as a British 

 species in the Proceedings of the Entomological Society for 

 April, 1849, when "Mr. Douglas stated that Mr. H. Double- 

 day had informed him, that last year he had bred the Phox- 

 opteris Upupana of Hiibner, a very rare species of Tortri- 

 cid<B and new to this country." The insect has since oc- 

 curred at Darenth Wood, Black Park, near Hastings, 

 Epping, &c, but still continues rare. 



Anchylopera comptana, Frolich ; first recorded as 

 British by Mr. Douglas, in the Entomologist, at page 385, 

 under the name of A. cuspidana. "This pretty little moth 

 is, I believe, new to Britain ; it is a very different thing 

 from the insect figured under this name in Wood's Index ; 

 taken at Riddlesdown." It is figured and described as A. 

 cuspidana in Humphrey's and Westwood's British Moths, 

 vol. ii. page 132, pi. lxxxv. fig. 15. On the chalk downs 

 at Sanderstead and Mickleham this insect occurs in the 

 greatest profusion. Last spring it was on the wing as early 

 as the 14th of April. It is double-brooded, the second brood 

 appearing in August. 



Bactra nigrovittana, Stephens ; first enumerated and 

 described in Stephens's Museum Catalogue, at page 40 and 

 99. It is uniformly smaller than 13. lanceolana, and does 

 not appear to vary at all ; I have seen several specimens 

 from different localities in Scotland. 



Pcecilochroma oppressana, Treit. ; first enumerated as 

 British in Stephens's Museum Catalogue, at page 43 ; Mr. 

 Doubleday writes me — " I have a pair taken in our forest. 

 I have never seen any other British specimens. " 



Pcecilochroma occultana, Douglas ; first recorded 

 and described by Douglas in the Zoologist for 1846, at page
