since seen a similar larva. There was, however, something that reminded one of 

 Hadena dentina, and this, if I remember right, consisted of black dashes just along 

 the upper edge of the paler, but obscure, subdorsal line, though in other respects it 

 was different, in addition to its greater size. Probably the larva feeds on grasses." 

 — W. BUCKLEE : October 1th, 1882. 



[Borkhausen's description (nordida) is as follows : — " Pale brown, with a faint 

 dark dorsal line, and two similar lateral lines ; on both sides of the dorsal line, on 

 each segment, are four black points ; below the lateral lines, on each segment, a 

 backwardly-directed black streak. Head, thoracic plate and anal shield black- 

 brown. Lives in March and April on grasses, concealed during the day time ; pupates 

 in the earth. Moth in July and August." — C. Gr. Bareett]. 



Aporia cratcBgi introduced at Windsor. — Mr. Edmunds of Windsor writes to 

 me on the l7th inst., " I have taken three more broods of larvae of A. cratagi ; this 

 looks as if it had established itself here, or at any rate it is endeavouring to stay." — 

 P. Meeeifield, 24, Vernon Terrace, Brighton : April \9th, 1894. 



Accidental transposition of figures of ttvo Qracilar ice. —It may be useful to 

 point out that on Plate xv of the Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond., N. S., i (1850 — 1, the figure 

 standing in the seventh place and numbered " 7 " represents the fore-wing of Gra- 

 cilaria KoUariella, while the following one, numbered " 8," shows that of Q. 

 ononidis. This was not so intended by Mr. Stainton, for he heads the accompanying 

 descriptions — " Sp. 22, ojiowic^w, Zeller (Plate xv, fig. 7) " (p. 191), and " Sp. 24, 

 KoUariella (F. v. K), Zeller (Plate xv, fig. 8) " (p. 193). These references, which 

 are therefore incorrect, according to the published Plate, were separately repeated 

 by Mr. Stainton in I. B. Xep. Tin., p. 200 {ononidis), (1854), and Nat. Hist. Tin., 

 viii, p. 136 {KoUariella), p. 182 {ononidis), (1864), although in Ent. Ann., 1862, p. 

 113, he had correctly referred figure 7 to KoUariella. Unfortunately both errors 

 re-appear in Staudinger's Catalogue (1871). — Eustace R. BAifKES, The Eectory, 

 Corfe Castle : February 2Mh, 1894. 



Coleophora potentillce, Stn., under an alias. — This Coleophora, to which as 

 " potentillce, Boyd in lit.," Mr. G. Elisha had previously drawn attention in Ent. 

 Mo. Mag., xxi, pp. 254 — 5, was first described by Mr. Stainton under that name in 

 Ent. Mo. Mag., xxiv, p. 231. In both volumes it appears in the list of "Additions 

 to the British Insect Fauna brought forward in this Volume," but in each case as 

 " Coleophora tormentillce, Boyd," which strange alias it also assumes in the " List 

 of New Q-enera and Species, &c., described " in Vol. xxiv! In the other Indices it 

 is correctly entered, in Vol. xxi as " potentillcB, Boyd in lit.," and in Vol. xxiv under 

 its present name, " potentillcB, Stainton." — Id. : March 2nd, 1894. 



Note on a Butalis hitherto undetermined. — Recently Mr. E. Meyrick very kindly 

 lent me the single example of a Butalis, taken near Newbury, which is the subject 

 of his note in Ent. Mo. Mag., xiv, p. Ill, and is referred to in mine in Ent. Mo. 

 ;., N. S., iv, pp. 88 — 9, and, after a careful examination, I have no hesitation in
