NOTES ON NEW AND RARE BRITISH LEPIDOPTERA. 149 



oblique bands and the blue metallic lines between them are a 

 trifle more evident than in that species. 



Mr. Barrett's specimens (a $ and 3 2) were, two or three 

 seasons since, beaten from a hedge near Haslemere ; Mr. 

 Meek's (a $ and a $) were taken on the coast of North 

 Devon last August, amongst Artemisia maritima ; I am 

 unacquainted with the locality from which Mr. Doubleday 

 obtained his example. 



The Plaslemere and North Devon specimens were exhibited 

 (bearing my manuscript name oi Jlavidorsana) by Mr. Meek 

 at the second November meeting of the Entomological So- 

 ciety of London. 



D. Jlavidorsana will be fully described in the January 

 number pf " The Entomologist's Monthly Magazine." 



Kentish Town, 

 Dec. 1866. 



P.S. — Since the foregoing notes were written I find that 

 Euholia 77iceniata has been re-discovered near York by Mr. 

 Prest, of that city.
