 appendages look like those of a male. As the white speck is 

 specially referred to in fig. 5, it can hardly have been over- 

 looked in fig. 4, so the specimen must be looked on as a male. 

 The description of fig. 5 seems to suit a female C. splendens, but 

 the colour of the wings is brown, pointing to ? C. virgo.]

NOTES AND OBSERVATIONS. 

 The Range in Britain of Epichnopteryx pulla, Sterrhoptekyx 



HIRSUTELLA, AcANTHOPSYCHE OPACELLA, AND PaCHYTHELIA VILLOSELLA. 



I find it quite impossible to obtain satisfactory evidence of the range 

 of these species in Britain, more particularly of E. ptdla. It is 

 recorded from Kent, Somerset and Cambridgeshire, and is exceedingly 

 abundant in some years in Kent and Essex (in one or two localities). 

 Yet there are whole counties — southern, midland and eastern — for 

 which no record exists. It must exist fairly abundantly in Surrey, 

 Sussex, Suffolk, Bucks, Berks, Norfolk, Herts, Middlesex, one would 

 suspect, yet there are either only single records traceable or none at all 

 for these counties. Will those lepidopterists who have captured any 

 of these species, or who possess local lists in which they are mentioned, 

 please be kind enough to send me the records ? I shall be extremely 

 grateful. I need hardly add that I want the localities for insertion in 

 the second volume of ' British Lepidoptera ' now in press. — J. W. 

 Tutt; Westcombe Hill, S.E., Jan. 16th, 1900. 



District Lists of Lepidoptera. — A useful addition to the local lists 

 of British Lepidoptera is ' The Butterflies and Moths of Malvern,' by 

 Messrs. W. Edwards and R. F. Towndrow. The species included in 

 this list are only those that have been actually found within a six- 

 mile radius of Malvern. Rhopalocera show a total of forty-seven 

 species, among which we note Aporia cratagi (1858), Piens daplidice
