NOTES ON NEW AND RARE BRITISH LEPIDOPTERA. 109 



wards the hind xnargin, especially near the apex. Abdomen 

 and antennae long. Sexes very much alike. 



E. catalaunalis is an European species, but has also 

 occurred in India, those from the latter country presenting 

 no points of difference. 



It is scarcely a true EbuleUj but as most of the characters 

 agree with the members of that genus, it has not been con- 

 sidered advisable to erect a new genus for its reception. 



SCOPARIA ULMELLA, Dale. 



Under Mr. Dale's manuscript name of ulmella, I have 

 endeavoured at page 217, vol. iii. of the Entomologist's 

 Monthly Magazine, to characterize a hitherto unacknow- 

 ledged new Scoparia ; three examples of which were taken 

 by Mr. Dale himself many years ago at East Mecn. 



S. ulmella bears some affinity to S. dubitalis, chiefly bv 

 reason of the 8-mark being dumb-bell-shaped, and filled 'in 

 with ochi-eous, but its slender conformation precludes the 

 possibility of its being connected with that species. The 

 characters of the 8-mark separate it from the mercurella 

 group— and it is with equal ease distinguished from the 

 angustea group by the character of the first line. 



The time of appearance of this rather anomalous creature 

 is toward the middle of July. 



ScOPARIA INGRATELLA, Zcllcr. 



At page 61 of the Entomologist's Monthly Magazine, vol. 

 iv. I have brought forward this species as an inhabitant of 

 the Folkestone Warren, on the authority of Dr. Staudinger of 

 Dresden. The insect is certainly the ingratella of the Con- 

 tinent, and closely allied to S. duhitalis, which is an exces- 

 sively variable species, and from which it difiers in size,
