dark rufous; elytra semi-regularly punctate striate on the disc, 
becoming regular at the apex, the punctures stronger on the 
lateral flavous band; legs pale flavous, with rufescent or darker 
tarsi. ‘The markings make this form easily known; looked at 
from above the spots are more noticeable than the band, and 
all the markings, especially the lateral band, appear smaller.

NOTES AND OBSERVATIONS. 
DEPRESSARIA AUTOCNISTA, N. SP.—I propose this name for the 
insect hitherto known as aspersella, Const., from South of France. 
It seems to have been overlooked that Constant’s specific name 
(published in 1888) is preoccupied by adspersella, Koll. (1832), in 
the same genus; the two names are simply variant spellings (both 
admissible) of the same word, and cannot be treated as distinct 
names without probability of confusion.— EH. Meyrick ; Thornhanger, 
Marlborough, January 15th, 1921. 
MARGARODES UNIONALIS IN Sussex.— Early in October last a 
specimen of Margarodes unionalis was taken at ‘sugar’ by 
Mr. Thomas Salvage in his garden at Arlington, a village some 
seven miles inland from this part of the coast, and sent to me for 
identification. This capture appears to be of some interest when 
taken in conjunction with those on the Devon Coast reported at 
p. 20 of this Journal, as showing that the immigration to which 
they are undoubtedly due must have been of wide range although 
possibly not large in numbers.—RoBert ApDkKIn; Eastbourne. 
[This species was first noted as occurring in Britain in 1859. 
Subsequently odd specimens were recorded from Brighton, Deal, 
Forest Hill, Gosport, Gravesend, Isle of Wight, Torquay and Tresco. 
In 1884 a specimen was secured at Gosport on October 23rd. The 
only records we have any note of between 1884 and 1920 are the 
following : A specimen taken at a lamp at Boscombe, September 21st, 
1900 (‘ Entom.,’ vol. xxxiv, p. 182); one at Hythe, October 27th, 1913 
(‘ Entom.,’ vol. xlvi, p. 314); two in South Devon, October 12th and 
13th, 1920 (antea, p. 20).—Ep.| 
LIMENITIS SIBYLLA IN WARWICKSHIRE.—On a Saturday evening 
at the end of the first week in August, 1918, in company with my 
respected entomological friend, Mr. J. W. Saunt, we were proceeding 
at precisely 7 p.m. to meet other entomologists to spend a night 
sugaring, ete., for moths. On approaching our destination, in a 
narrow defile, Mr. Saunt suddenly made an overhead and backhanded 
stroke with the net and captured a fly which weakly flew across 
the path, exclaiming at the same time— Szbylla.” That night, seated 
round the camp fire, after arousing the curiosity of our assembled 
friends, I had the pleasure of announcing this important capture. 
Mr. Saunt proclaimed his intention of liberating the insect at sunrise 
in the woods, to give it a chance of reproducing its race, for it 
appeared to be a female insect. Sad to relate this little faded flower
