states, — than H. obscuriiSf which is generally received in 

 preference to JT. trifolii, Miill. 



It seems somewhat strange that the Kirbyan Steni, &c., 

 are to be deposed, if Marsham's description (which, amongst 

 other difficulties, gives to the insect the same size as piniperda) 

 be considered sufficient to authenticate this species.

 abietis, Ratz., Wat. and Crotch Cat. 

 Mr. Crotch (loc. cit.) states that the identity of these two 

 species has been recently shown, and that Gyllenhal's name 

 must stand. 



Zeugophora Turneri, Power. 

 Mr. Crotch (loc. cit. p. 136) cannot see that this insect 

 differs structurally from Z. scufellarls, Suffr., of which he 

 considers it a very curious and constant variety ; and says 

 that the type foi-m, with the head red or black (Z. ft^ontalis, 

 Suffr.), has not yet been detected in this country. 



Lema Erichsoni, Suffr. 

 Mr. Crotch (loc. cit.) states that all the examples he has 

 seen of this species, except some in Mr. Wollaston's collection, 

 belong to L. m.elanopa, of which they appear to be a con- 

 colorous and hitherto unrecorded form. The true L. 

 Erichsoni seems more closely to resemble L. ci/anella, but 

 to be more elongate and differently punctured.

 Mr. Crotch (loc. cit. p. 137) records the above correction,
