rows of white spots on the outer borders of all the wings; 
occasionally the inner row is ferruginous. ‘The fourth nervure of 
the secondaries has a large black spot or tubercle. ‘The under 
side presents the same markings as the upper; but the points of 
the posterior edge are larger, and all white. The ground colour

It may be well to remind those who have been, or may be,

ON A PROBABLE NEW SPECIES IN THE CRAMBIDA. 
By J. W. Turv. 
In August, 1883, when collecting in the neighbourhood of 
Deal, I took one specimen of .a Crambus which I was unable to 
determine. It is not in fine condition, but sufficiently so to make 
out that it has almost the exact markings of C. geniculeus, but 
the fringe is not glossy; it is much larger, and of a dull brown 
colour. During the following winter I took it, with other 
specimens, to compare with the insects in the Doubleday 
collection. As I had taken a great number of C. geniculeus and 
C. inquinatellus I was quite certain it was neither of these 
species; and, on comparing it with the Doubleday insects, I was 
unable to satisfactorily determine its species. 
In size, fringe, and general appearance it comes nearer to 
C. contaminellus than any other British species, but it is a much
