it the third time as Albilineella (Stett. e. Z. 1859, p. 223); 
and Mr. Newman has described it a fourth time as Davisellus. 
The English specimens are a little darker than the southern 
ones. I have also received it from Montpellier. Grapholita 
grandevana, Zeller.—Doubtless this species, but not a reared 
specimen. A friend of mine reared it on the sea-coast, near 
Stettin, in great numbers. The larva feeds on Tussilago, and 
makes very long, curious tubes in the sand.”—Henry 
Doubleday; Epping, January 8, 1875. 
(I confess to a feeling of intense humiliation at receiving 
this intelligence. Where are our Micro-lepidopterists? The 
specimens of this insect were posted from one to another in 
the hope of proving that it had been previously described, 
and thus superseding my name of Davisellus; but, alas, all 
this energy, all this outlay of postage and packing, culminated 
in a ludicrous attempt to show that the species was Alba- 
riellus. My own ignorance was to be expected: I never 
professed any knowledge of the tribe; and so sent it on its 
travels immediately I received it, begging fora name. With 
how little success the result has shown.— Edward Newman.] 
Heliothis Scutosa.—Having received several lists with 
Scutosa crossed out, I may as well say, before everyone dies 
out that can give evidence about the captures of Scutosa, 
that four or five such persons, one of the captors included, still 
live; and the gentleman that took three specimens, at least 
(and it is singular), lives now at Epping. Well, the history 
of Scutosa I will now narrate, and let sceptics read:— 
In 1834 or 1835 (not sure) the gentleman that now lives at 
Epping, Mr. R. R. Rothwell, was at Green Row Academy, on 
the Solway (now the port of Silloth). He was fond of 
collecting ; and at the midsummer holidays he brought home 
his boxes to Carlisle, and in them were three Scutosa 
(certain): one my father sent—through Mr. Cooper, now 
living—to Mr, Heysham to name; he kept it, and thought 
it was sent to Mr. Curtis. Well, at his death, I got this 
specimen back; and the Rev. H. Burney has it now. A 
second specimen my father sent to Mr. Edleston, and it is 
still in his collection; now in Mr. Sidebotham’s hands. 
There was a specimen left in Mr. Rothwell’s collection, 
which got destroyed after he left home to go abroad. Another 
specimen, which Mr. Heysham noted as taken on the banks
