Since the first part o£ this paper was published I have had oppor- 

 tunities of enlarging my acquaintance with B. pulverisquamis, Wlsm., 

 and have become fully convinced that it has already been at least 

 once described. M. Constant founded his CEcophora fuscifrontella on 

 a single specimen, and although he omits to notice a third dark spot 

 on the disc, these spots are all so vague that one might easily escape 

 attention ; in all other respects, including the figure of the palpi 

 (which are not mentioned in the description), it agrees sufficiently well 

 with my supposed new species. Mann's description of CEcophora 

 lavandul(B is so similar and so convincing as regards the roughened 

 appearance caused by the sprinkling of grey scales, that I have more 

 than a suspicion of having erred in good company, and unless a com- 

 parison of the actual types should afford convincing evidence to the 

 contrary, the synonymy should be as above.

ARISTOTELIA SEEVELLA, Z., AN ADDITION TO THE BEITISH 

 FAUNA {LEP. TINEINA). 



BY THE RT. HON. LORD WALSINGHAM, M.A., LL.D., F.R.S. 



In the Entomologist's Monthly Magazine, XXX, 51 (1894), two 

 specimens of a GelecJiia taken near King's Lynn by Mr. Atmore were 

 mentioned as probably belonging to the species XystopTiora servella, Z., 

 but I thought it desirable to await the capture of further examples 

 before expressing a positive opinion. Mr. Atmore has again met with 

 the species, and has since submitted further material for examination, 

 enabling me to confirm the identification and to justify the insertion 

 of the name in our lists. Following Mr, Meyrick's definition (HB, 

 Br. Lp., 572), this species should now stand in the genus Aristotelian 

 Hb., which has rightly supplanted the preoccupied name Dorypliora, 

 Hein., as well as the n. n. Xystophora, Hein. and "Wk., by which it was 

 subsequently replaced [Schm. Deutsch. Tin., Tabelle der Gattungenj, 

 6 (1876)].
