Butalis stccella, Zell., which so far as its occurrence in this country 

 is concerned, appears previously to have been confused with B. 

 variella, St., is identified by Mr, E. R. Bankes, who took specimens 

 in June^ 1886, near Weymouth, Dorset. Oa the Continent the larvse 

 have been found in sand-tubes several inches long, under both thyme

Gelechia semidecandrella, Sp. n. Under this name Mr. J. H. 

 Threlfall describes a species closely resembling Lita maculiferella,

Elachista scirpi, Sp. n., is named and described by Mr. H. T. 

 Stainton from specimens bred by Mr. W. H. B. Fletcher from 

 larvse mining ''the leaves of the sea club-rush {Scirpus inaritimus\ 

 growing in a ditch near Worthing, Sussex. The species was first

 but was then not distinguished from the closely-allied E. rhynchos- 

 porella, Sta. ("Ent. Mo. Mag." xxiii. 253-4). 



Doryphora qucBstwnella, H-S., which appears to have been occa- 

 sionally taken at Wicken Fen for some years past, and to have 

 universally passed as Z>. morosa, Muhlig., is identified by Mr. W. 

 Warren (" Ent. Mo. Mag." xxiv. 104). 



Nepticula woolhopiella, Sp. n., was bred by Dr. J. H. Wood, of

 by Mr. G. H. Verrall ; while Mr. R. H. Mead describes ^several
