are likely to occur here, and looking for them in the haunts 

 and among the plants which they frequent abroad. When 

 this is done systematically, not in one locality only, but in 

 several, we shall expect to have annually to record the 

 addition of some five or six Noctuce to our lists. Leucania 

 Vitellina is added this year, but how much longer are we 

 to wait for Leucania L.- Album ? We are strongly disposed 

 to fancy specimens of it must exist unknown in some of the 

 500 collections of Lepidoptera in the country. 



The new British species I proceed to notice are as 

 follows : — 



Leucania Vitellina. Coleophora Vitisella. 



Nyctegretes Achatinella. Laverna conturbatella. 

 Tortrix latiorana. " Raschkiella. 



Dicrorampha Tanaceti. Elachista tgeniatella. 



Tinea Merdella. Lithocolletis Torminella. 



Depressaria Libanotidella. Nepticula luteella. 

 Coleophora Genistae. " Regiella. 



" Inflatae. " atricollis. 



" Virgaureae. 



Leucania vitellina, Hiibner. 



This belongs to the same section of the genus Leucania 

 as Conigera. The anterior wings are pale yellowish, the 

 hind wings whitish ; and we notice besides a great difference 

 in the markings, as the inner line is hardly angulated, ter- 

 minating on the middle of the inner margin, and the lower 

 end of the reniform stigma is not white. 



Referring to the table of Leucania at page 187 of the 

 Manual of British Butterflies and Moths, this species would 

 be placed in the same class with Conigera, B. ; but would 

 easily be recognized from that species by the characters 

 above given. 



Not having a good specimen before me, I reserve a full
