 campa ovata. I have beaten these two insects at the same 

 time into my umbrella, and have placed them together in my 

 cabinet, but I have no proof of their identity. 



Dr. Knaggs, in the paper intituled " Notes on New and 

 Rare Lepidoptera," records the occurrence of five species of 

 Lepidoptera new to Britain, and two of them new to Science, 

 besides the restoration of Lycaena Dorylas to its former place 

 in our catalogues ; these are : — 



1. Procris Geryon of Hiibner. See Zool. 8407, 8696, 8732. 



2. Leucania Loreyi of Duponchel. See Zool. 8407. 



3. Luperina Gueneei of H. Doubleday, described at length, 

 and the description copied into the ' Zoologist.' See Zool. 

 8916. 



4. Dianthoecia Barrettii of H. Doubleday, described at 

 length, and the description copied into the ' Zoologist.' See 

 Zool. 8915. 



5. Catoptria conterminana of Herri ch-Schaffer, taken some 

 years back both at Folkstone in Kent, and Stratford in 

 Essex, but not previously recorded. 



6. Euchromia rufana of Scopoli, a questionable species, 

 taken by Mr. Hodgkinson in the Lake District. 



A very interesting table of larvae has been compiled with 

 great care, and descriptions of the larvae of Oporabia fili- 

 grammaria and Cidaria sagittata complete the paper ; both 

 these descriptions have been copied into the ' Zoologist.' 

 See Zool. 8913. 



Mr. M'Lachlan's "Notes on British Trichoptera," like 

 everything that emanates from that gentleman's pen, is well 

 considered and carefully expressed. The additio'ns to the 

 English list of species are three in number, viz., 

 Limnephilus nobilis of Kolenati. 

 Anaboha caenosa of Curtis. 

 Hydropsyche opthalmica of Rambur. 



Limnephilus nobilis. " In the colourless ground of the 

 anterior wings it resembles L. flavicornis, but it possesses a 

 very distinct obliquely-placed fuscous pterostigma, internally 

 gradually narrowing to a point; the fenestrated spot is rather 

 broad but very indistinct ; the apex is clouded with dark 

 gray, with transparent irrorated spots ; the anterior wings are 

 narrower than in either L. flavicornis or L. Stigma. In the form
