  The 
  recurrent 
  nervure 
  is 
  interstitial 
  in 
  the 
  left 
  wing 
  of 
  

   one 
  3" 
  , 
  in 
  the 
  right 
  wing 
  it 
  is 
  plainly 
  rejected, 
  and 
  in 
  

   both 
  wings 
  of 
  my 
  other 
  specimens. 
  Among 
  the 
  larger 
  

   Ojni 
  this 
  species 
  may 
  be 
  known 
  by 
  the 
  radius 
  originating 
  

   from 
  the 
  middle 
  of 
  the 
  stigma. 
  It 
  is 
  stated 
  by 
  Haliday 
  

   to 
  be 
  very 
  rare 
  in 
  North 
  Ireland 
  ; 
  it 
  is 
  not 
  common 
  in 
  

   England, 
  but 
  has 
  been 
  found 
  by 
  Walker 
  in 
  the 
  London 
  

   district, 
  by 
  Capron 
  at 
  Shiere, 
  and 
  by 
  me 
  at 
  Cornworthy, 
  

   in 
  Devonshire. 
  According 
  to 
  Eatzeburg 
  (Ichn. 
  d. 
  Forst., 
  

   ii., 
  62), 
  it 
  was 
  bred 
  by 
  Bouche 
  from 
  the 
  lepidopterous 
  

   Coleophora 
  nigricella, 
  Ste. 
  Wesmael 
  described 
  an 
  0. 
  

   caudatus 
  {lib. 
  cit., 
  p. 
  142), 
  which 
  he 
  was 
  inclined 
  to 
  

   regard 
  as 
  the 
  5 
  of 
  this 
  species; 
  the 
  terebra 
  of 
  caudatus 
  

   was 
  half 
  as 
  long 
  as 
  the 
  abdomen, 
  the 
  facial 
  carma 
  more 
  

   acute, 
  and 
  the 
  mesothoracic 
  sutures 
  more 
  rudimentary. 
  

   This 
  was 
  probably 
  not 
  the 
  true 
  ? 
  of 
  rufipes, 
  and 
  I 
  feel 
  

   certain 
  that 
  the 
  sexes 
  above 
  described 
  belong 
  to 
  each 
  

   other 
  ; 
  they 
  correspond 
  in 
  all 
  respects, 
  and 
  were 
  captured 
  

   under 
  the 
  same 
  circumstances.
