232 Lord Walsingham on the Tortricide, 
Hiib., than they differ from each other. Prof. Zeller 
described his Bactra stagnicolana from a single specimen 
in bad condition, as being ‘‘lanceolane valde affine sed 
distinctum alis latioribus, margine postico minus obliquo ; 
linea disci postici recta, non arcuata fractave.” The 
remainder of his description could be fitly applied to one 
of the more distinctly marked varities which occur in 
this country. 
The characters relied upon by Zeller are not sufficiently 
maintained in the three examples now before me to justify 
me in regarding the African species as specifically distinct 
from the common European form, which has also been 
recorded from North America. 
Mr. Walker has inadvertently placed this species 
among the Crambide, describing it under the name of 
Ancylolomia siccella. His specimen agrees entirely with 
English examples of A. lanceolana, which tends to 
confirm the opinion that the African form is merely a 
variety of this well-known species. 
Mr. Gooch’s specimens were taken at Spring Vale, in 
bush; December, March, and April.

The specimen in the British Museum, from which 
Mr. Walker’s description was taken, has much the 
general appearance and structure of the genus Penthina, 
but its condition is too bad to warrant a re-description, 
although a good specimen of the species might easily be 
recognised by comparison with it.
