is not quite so deeply oclireous as in the caught examples. —

A New Eupithecia. — At the meeting of the Lancashire and 

 Cheshire Entomological Society on December 20th last, Mr. 

 Nicholas Cooke, of Discard, Cheshire, announced that a moth 

 which he had exhibited at the previous meeting was a Eupithecia 

 undoubtedly new to Britain. The insect had been bred by Miss 

 Greening, of Warrington, during July this year. This Eiqnthecia 

 is easily distinguished from any other species of this genus in 

 the list of British Lepidoptera by possessing a dorsal chain of 

 nearly white spots on the abdomen ; otherwise it appears closely 

 allied to E. lariccata. In compliment to Miss Greening, Mr. Cooke 

 proposed to give it the provisional name of Eupithecia Bland leata.

Cedestis Gysselinella in England. — I have to record the 

 capture of this rare Scotch Tineina as having occurred on this 

 side of the border. I regret I cannot give the precise locality of its 

 capture, for I am again suffering all the annoyance of finding 

 some collector has either wantonly or carelessly well-nigh exter- 

 minated another local species, this last sufferer being the lovely 

 little Cidaria reticulata. When I went to look for the larvae of 

 this species as usual this season, I was disgusted to find the very 

 local food-plant, Impatiens, had been destroyed and pulled up, 

 and this quite a month before seeding time.— J. B. Hodgkinson; 

 15, Spring Bank, Preston, December C, 1880. 



Crambus verellus at Cambridge. — In August, 1877, I 

 caught a specimen of this Cravihus at light amongst C. falsellus, 

 which was common. The following year I caught three more in 

 July, also at light. They have remained unnamed till this year, 

 when a comparison with the figure given some years ago in the 

 'Annual' decided the question. — A. F. Griffith; Cambridge, 

 December, 1880. 



Occurrence of a New British Trichopteron.— At the last 

 meeting of the Glasgow Natural-History Society I exhibited 

 specimens of Molanna palpata, M'Lach., a species of caddis-fly 

 new to Britain. It has hitherto been known only from Finland 

 and Siberia ; and a specimen from St. Petersburg was found 

 among Kolenati's types of M. anyustata in the Vienna Museum.
