Crambus verellus, Zincken (Ent. Mo. Mag., 

 vol. ix., p. 88). Frontispiece, fig. 1. 



On the 21st of July last Mr. C. A. Briggs captured an 

 example of this interesting Crambus at Folkestone. The 

 species was determined by Mr. Howard Vaughan, who in- 

 troduced it to public notice in the September number of the 

 " Entomologist's Monthly Magazine." Through the liberality 

 of Mr. Briggs, this example is now in Mr. Vaughan's col- 

 lection. 



Two other specimens have since been detected by Mr. 

 Vaughan; the one in Mr. S. Stevens' collection (separated 

 and ticketed " n. sp."), the other captured by Mr. Ramsay 

 Cox, at Beechboro' Wood, a few miles from Folkestone. 



Crambus verellus is allied to falsellus, but is smaller, 

 darker, and has rounder wings. It is an inhabitant of 

 France, Germany, Sweden and Gallicia. 



ScOPARiA SCOTICA, Buchanan White (Ent. Mo. Mag., 

 vol. viii., p. 169). 



Under the above name Dr. F. Buchanan White describes 

 a Scoj^aria new to science in the January number of the 

 " Entomologist's Monthly Magazine." 



S. scotica is closely allied to cembrce, but differs from 

 that species chiefly in having the fore-wings more triangular 

 and dilated before the apex ; the breadth across the hind 

 margin, too, is proportionately greater, the apex is more 

 acute, the hind margin more oblique, the colour grey, not 

 brownish, and the lines and stigmata more distinctly marked. 



Several specimens of this novelty have been captured in
