56 LEPIDOPTERA. 



as a distinct species in Stephens's Museum Catalogue, I be- 

 lieve to be only a variety of this. 



Catoptria modestana, H.-S. ; first recorded as British 

 by Mr. Douglas, in the Zoologist for 1851, page 3129, 

 among insects occurring at Charlton Pit — " Catoptria 



; a new species, probably either decolorana or 



•modest ana of Herrich-Sch'affer. I found it here last Au- 

 gust." It is not very uncommon at Charlton, but I am not 

 aware that it has occurred elsewhere. 



Catoptria ccecimaculana, Hiibner ; first enumerated 

 as British in Doubleday's Catalogue, at page 26. The in- 

 sect is not at all uncommon at Mickleham and in other 

 localities on the chalk in July. 



Catoptria citrana, Hiibner; first enumerated as Bri- 

 tish in the preface to the Zoologist for 1847, page 11 ; its 

 capture at Southend, Essex, in July, 1848, is recorded by 

 Mr. Hodgkinson in the Zoologist for that year, at page 

 2330. It is a very conspicuous distinct species, and the 

 wonder is that it was not previously known as a British 

 species. 



Cnephasia conspersana, Douglas ; described by Dou- 

 glas in the Zoologist for 1846, page 1267, and figured on the 

 following page. Mr. Douglas "took three specimens on the 

 salt marshes, near St. Osyth, Essex, in July, 1847." 



Cnephasia cretaceana, Curtis; described and recorded 

 by Curtis in the Annals and Magazine of Natural History, 

 2nd Series, vol. v. p. 112 — " I never met with this insect 

 but once, and then in abundance on the paling round Dover 

 Castle, in July, 1829." 



Eriopsela quadrana, Hiibner ; first described as Bri- 

 tish by Douglas in the Zoologist for 1846, page 1269, as 

 Orthotcenia quadrana. " The locality of Sanderstead Downs 

 there given is erroneous; it should be Darenth Wood, and 

 the date May instead of July."— J. W. D.
