ratv. Ins., I, i, 35, 1848) notices it from Sweden. Mons. G. A. Poujade, 

 of Paris, told me that it occurs in considerable numbers in many 

 maritime towns in Europe. It Britain it has occurred in Belfast 

 (McLachlan, Ent. Mo. Mag., xxiii, p. 235), and will probably gradually 

 establish itself here. It also occurs in Elorida. 



Bepttted Species. 

 l.—Panchlora maderce, Fab. — Stephens (Mandib., vi, p. 43) says 

 this species has been frequently taken in London, and doubtless only 

 wants looking for about the docks, I have not seen any recent notices 

 of its capture. Bolivar (Ortop. de Esp.) records it from the arsenal 

 at Ferrol. 



2. — Blabera gigantea, L. — Another exotic species, probably im- 

 ported into this country amongst West Indian merchandise, and found 

 in the "West India Docks {vide Steph., Mandib., vi, p. 43), but which 

 can only be looked upon as at best a casual visitor.

ON THE GENUS CENOLOBA, WLSM. 

 BY E. METRICK, B.A., F.E.S. 



This genus was formed by Lord Walsingham (Ent. Mo. Mag., 

 xxi, 175) for the reception of obliteralis, Walk., from examination of 

 the single poor type in the British Museum. The species in question 

 is an Australian Pterophorus-Uke insect, with fore- and hind-wings 

 alike deeply cleft into two feathers, and was regarded by Lord Wal- 

 singham as belonging to the Pteroplwridoe. The characters given by 

 Lord Walsingham are very incomplete, but in my paper on the classi- 

 fication of the PterophoridcB (Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond., 1886, 2 & 11) I 

 intimated that they were such as rendered the correctness of that 

 location very doubtful. The species has since been rediscovered in 

 the neighbourhood of Brisbane by Dr. T. P. Lucas, to whom I am 

 indebted for specimens ; and from examination of these I am able to 

 say positively that the genus does not belong to the Pterophoridce at 

 all, but affords an interesting and curious example of cleft wings 

 occurring in another family of Pyralidina. It tends, therefore, in- 

 cidentally to support the arguments by which I have endeavoured to 

 show that the Pterophoridce are justly to be referred to that group. 



The following are the full generic characters : — 



Cenoloba, Wlsm. 

 Forehead rounded, with appressed scales ; ocelli present, very small ; tongue 

 developed. Antennae three-fourths in c? serrate, moderately ciliated (1). Labial
