on the forehead was a very smooth oval spot. Antenne nine- 
jointed, black, as long as the thorax, and covered with extremely 
fine hairs. Eyes black, rather large and projecting; ocelli 
topaz-coloured. Labrum, and in many cases also the somewhat 
emarginate border of the clypeus, white; mandibles black, the 
remaining parts of the mouth yellow. Thorax without hairs, 
shining black, with the extremities of the collar and the tegule 
pale yellow. Wings very slightly clouded, iridescent (especially 
in the live insect), yellow at the insertion; nervures and stigma 
brown, the latter being of an obscure yellow tint below at the 
insertion, the second submarginal cell without a horny spot. 
Cenchri greyish white. Abdomen broad, shining black with an 
open triangular space at the base on the dorsum; some indistinct 
white spots at the sides of the anus. Legs yellow, with the 
exception of the terminal joints of the tarsi and the claws, 
which are brown. 
I am not as yet acquainted with the male of this species, 
which appeared to us to be single-brooded, and which has 
hitherto been observed only in the province of Gelderland.

On another visit to Arnside the last week in June, larva-hunting 
among the young oaks, I took what I expected to be Ypsolopha 
lucella, but I was disappointed. I worked away and got a few scores, 
and they all came out Hypolepia radiatella. ‘Then, noticing the 
young oaks quite yellow and withered in great bunches, the leaves 
being drawn together so oddly that I thought Tortrix viridana 
could never have done work of this sort, I opened some of these 
bunches, examined the larvee, and was sure they must be a knot- 
horn; so, on the strength of this idea, I filled my large inside 
pockets and took them home, threw them on my room floor, 
having out-reasoned myself again, saying, ‘‘ They are too common 
to be anything else but the green Tortrix viridana ;” but I sent 
larve to my friend Mr. C. G. Barrett. No reply coming from 
him, through some inadvertence or other, made me more sure 
that they were only Viridana; but again I thought, after throwing
