40 LEPIDOPTERA. 



bred by Mr. T. Wilkinson, Mr. Allis, and Mr. Sang from 

 larvae in the leaves of clover — it is incidentally noticed in 

 the E. A. 1862, p. 139, " I believe Mr. Allis has British 

 specimens of this insect." 



TiscHERiA DoDON^A, Sfaiuton, incidentally mentioned 

 E. A. 1S59, p. 160, as answer to Enigma, No. o6, which is 

 given in the E. A. 1858, p. 116, and mentions the mine of 

 the larva having been collected freely at Abbey Wood and 

 West Wickham Wood. The name Dodomea also occurs 

 in the " Entomologist's Weekly Intelligencer," vol. iv. p. 

 176, vol. V. p. 171, and in the " Natural History of the 

 Tineina," vol. iii. pp. 230, 236, and 240. 



A retrospective glance at our additions in the last eleven 

 years will afford some werj interesting results. 



In the first place additions to our lists arise from two very 

 different causes — 



1". The capture of specimens which are at once recog- 

 nized as something strange — such as Phlogophora Emjjyrea, 

 Sterrha sacraria, &c. 



2". The discovery of species already in our collections, 

 but which had been confounded with some closely allied 

 species — such as Procris Geryon^ LitJiosia sericea, &c. 



And it must also further be borne in mind that we 

 may meet with a new species by pure chance, or as in the 

 case of Eujnthecia campamilata, Lithocolletis Bremiella, 

 &c., we may look for it and at once find it, having pre- 

 viously ascertained the habits of the species from the obser- 

 vations of Continental Entomologists. 



But, further, of the conspicuous novelties detected in the 

 last few years some, though extremely local, occur pretty
