NEW BRITISH SPECIES SINCE 1835. 57 



Clepsis rusticana, Treit. ; first enumerated as British 

 in Doubleday's Catalogue, at page 24 ; the species has oc- 

 curred on boggy moors in Scotland, and in plenty in the 

 fens of Cambridgeshire. It is now in most collections. 



Euchromia Arbutella, Linn.; first enumerated as Bri- 

 tish in Doubleday's Catalogue, at page 23; the insect has 

 been taken rather freely by the collectors who have visited 

 Scotland, and is now in most collections. 



ORTHOTiENiA Ericetana, Bentley ; (trifoliana, Zeller, 

 in Doubleday's Catalogue). First recorded, described and 

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

 vol. ii. p. 150, pi. xci. figs. 3, 4. A subsequent capture in 

 the Isle of Wight by Mr. Bentley is recorded in the Zoolo- 

 gist for 1847, page 1803. The insect has also occurred in 

 Scotland, and has been taken near Bristol, by Mr. Allen 

 Hill. 



Sericoris Herbana, Guenee ; enumerated as British in 

 Doubleday's Catalogue, at page 23. I have never seen any 

 specimens that appeared distinct from the common lacunana. 



Sericoris Euphorbiana, Dup. ; enumerated as British 

 in Stephens's Museum Catalogue, at page 74; an old speci- 

 men is in the collection of Mr. Shepherd. It is a common 

 continental species ; the larva feeding on Euphorbia aquatica. 



Sericoris littoralis, Curt. ; first recorded, described 

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

 vol. ii. p. 143, pi. lxxxviii. fig. 13, having been " taken on 

 the southern coast of England, by Messrs. Dale and Curtis." 

 It was described by Douglas, in the Zoologist for 1846, at 

 page 1269, under the name of Orthotcenia venustana. I 

 have received the species from Belfast, and Mr. Stevens has 

 bred it from larvoe feeding on Statice armeria, below Graves- 

 end. 



Mixodia palustrana, Lienig ; first recorded as British 

 by Mr. Curtis, in his British Entomology, fol. 364, as Or-
