Hub., than they differ from each other. Prof. Zeller 

 described his Bactra stagnicolana from a single specimen 

 in bad condition, as being "lanceolanae valde affine sed 

 distinction 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 CramUdce, 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 Yale, 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.
