E. constrictata, Guen. " This is my E. dislinclaria." (Dr. Herrich- 

 Schaeffer's name being the older of the two must be adopted.—//. D.) 



No. 22, ? (The species which I sent under this number was 



taken on the cliffs near Dover, by Mr. Grant and Mr. S. Stevens, some 

 years since. Guenee thought it might be a variety of E. sobrinata, 

 but Dr. Herrich-Schaeffer thinks it will prove a distinct species : till 

 more is known of its history nothing can be affirmed with any certainty 

 about h.~H. D.) 



No. 27, ? " This is my E. trisignaria. The larvae are found 



with us upon Heracleum spondylium, in July and August." (The Rev. 

 Joseph Greene discovered the larva of this species upon an allied plant, 

 Angelica sylvestris, in a damp wood. The perfect insect is very dull- 

 coloured, but quite distinct from any other species. It is new to this 

 country. — H. D.) 



E. Haworthiata. " This is a good species, and the E. isogrammata 

 of Treitschke, and is rare with us." (Of course my name must sink — 

 —H. D.) 



E. pulchellata. "A good species, not found in Germany." 

 Of the other species sent there is nothing to remark. 

 I sent a few Tortrices with the Eupithecige ; among them two spe- 

 cies of Catoptria. One of these, which has been called C. modestana 

 in this country, is C. aemulana, Schlg. ; the other C. conterminana,
