 In the Tineina we have six new species added to our list. 



Coleophora leucapennella, Hub., a single specimen of this 

 novelty was captured by the Rev. C. T. Cruttwell in Norfolk ; 

 determined by Mr. C. G. Barrett {E.M.M., vol. xxvii. p. 302). 



Conchylis {EupcBcilia) erigerana, Wlsm. This is rather a 

 correction of nomenclature than a new species. The insect 

 has been for years in our collections as E. anthemidana, and 

 is very common in Kent, feeding in flowerheads of Erigeron 

 acre. To Lord Walsingham is due this addition {E.M.M., 

 vol. xxvii. pp. 1-4). 



GelecJiia (Anacampsis) sparsiciliella,'Qs.rr. Some specimens 

 of this insect were captured by Mr. C. G. Barrett at Pembroke, 

 and remained unnamed till now {E.M.M., vol. xxvii. pp. 7-8). 



Symnioca signatella, H.-S. This novelty is an introduced 

 species, probably on Spanish cork, and hardly naturalized yet. 

 This was added to our fauna on the authority of A. F. 

 Griffith, M.A., who captured some six specimens near the 

 London Docks. 



Micropteryx caledoniella. Griff. Twelve specimens of this 

 new species were captured by A. F. Griffith, M.A., in 

 Sutherland {E.M.M., vol. xxvii. p. 300). 



Micropteryx sangiella, Wood. We are indebted to Dr. 

 Wood for this addition, who has bred it from birch, and 

 differentiated the species {E.M.M., vol. xxvii. pp. loo-i). 



Tinea siibtilella, Fuchs. This little stranger has been 

 found by N. M, Richardson, B.A., at Portland {E.M.M., vol. 

 xxvii. pp. 14-15). 



This completes the list of novelties for 1891 in Lepidoptera. 

 It is hardly to be expected in a country as closely worked 

 as is the United Kingdom to add many new species, still it 

 proves we have not yet exhausted Nature's store of gems. 



In other, and possibly less-worked orders, students have 

 a greater opportunity to discover new species, and so they 

 add, naturally, a larger number in proportion. Coleop- 

 terists, however, only give us five additions.
