 Entomologists by the name of duplana." 



Opadia funebrana, Treit. ; first recorded as a British 

 species by myself, in the Zoologist for 1848, page 1989. 

 I have two specimens, and I believe a few others have been 

 since met with. The larva feeds in the interior of plums, 

 and is very common, as those who are in the habit of pre-

Ephippiphora floricolana, Hubner ; first recorded as 

 British, also described and figured, in Humphrey's and 

 Westwood's British Moths, vol. ii. page 126, pi. Ixxxiii. 

 fig. 20, as Pseudotomia notata, having been "taken by 

 Mr. Bentley, near Woolwich." The species has since been 

 taken freely at Plumstead, among maples, and is now in 

 most collections. 



Ephippiphora Weirana, Douglas ; in the Proceedings 

 of the Entomological Society for February, 1850, we read — 

 " Mr. Douglas exhibited a new species of Tortrix, allied to 

 Stiymonota redimitana, Guenee; which he proposed to call 

 Weirana." The species is described in the Proceedings of 

 the Entomological Society for April, 1850, where we are 

 informed that it was " taken at the end of May, flying in 

 sunshine round beech-trees at Mickleham." 



Ephipfiphora coniferana, Ratzb. ; first recorded and 

 described as British by myself in the Zoologist for 1848, 

 page 1988. The species in not uncommon in the north of 

 England and Scotland, and has occurred occasionally in 

 the south. 



Dicrorampha senectana, Guenee ; first distinguished 

 as a British species by Mr. Doubleday, and enumerated in 

 his Catalogue at page 26. Its capture is first recorded by 

 Mr. Sircom in the Zoologist for 1851, page 3287 ; this and 

 the four following species form a very puzzling little group,
