186 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



recorded as conopiformisy that it was not that species, though 

 its identity was not definitely ascertained. 



Caradrina superstes, Tr. Most of Mr. Tutt's determinations 

 in Brit. Noct. Vars. i. 148-9, having been cancelled, it is advisable 

 to substitute the reference "Ent. Eec. vi. 203-4," where superstes 

 is established as British. 



*Thalpochares PAULA, Hb., — with the references "E. M. M. 

 X. 19 ; Ent. Ann., 1874, p. 156," — should be inserted after Pltisia 

 moneta. Mr. South altogether omits this species from the Ent. 

 Syn. List,t and also from the ''Additions," though I sent up its 

 name for insertion. 



Hercyna phrygialis, Hb., should not be admitted to the 

 British list on the evidence offered in E.M. M. xxviii. 264. 



Melissoblaptes gularis, Zell. I failed to persuade Mr. South 

 to omit this insect, though he acknowledged my protest by 

 inserting a "?" before it. He entered it on the strength of 

 Mr. J. H. A. Jenner's note in Entom. xxv. 286, but it is there 

 clearly stated that the moths emerged at Lewes from larvae or 

 pupae imported direct from Japan to London, and they were 

 therefore not of British origin. No evidence of the species 

 having established itself in this country has yet been produced. 



*Antithesia carbonana, Brt., with the reference ''E. M. M. 

 xxiii. 4," should be inserted after Tortrix decretana. The name 

 carbonana was used by Doubleday in his List, but he sunk it in 

 his Sppl. List as a synonym of faligana, and it is uncertain to 

 what insect he applied it; in any case Doubleday' s name cannot 

 stand, because it is unsupported by any figure or description. 

 Mr. Barrett, however (E. M. M., I. c), uses the name for the fen 

 insect, attached to Stachys palustris, which he there separates 

 from fuligana and describes as n. sp, 



Eetinia retiferana, "Hein." For "Hein" read "Wk." 

 Mr. Barrett inaccurately attributes the name to Heinemann in 

 E. M. M. xxix. 113. Wocke pointed out that margarotana, Hein., 

 was not identical with margarotanay H.-S., and gave the name 

 retiferana to the former species. 



Gelechia semidecandrella, " Threlfall." For '' Threlfall " 

 read " Stn. & Thrfl." In E.M.M. xxiii. 233, Threlfall names 

 the species, but, instead of describing it himself, quotes with due 

 acknowledgment a MS. description drawn up by Stainton. It is, 

 therefore, a case of joint authorship. 



LiTA ocellatella, " Sta." For ''Sta. ; Ent. Ann. 1859" 

 read "Boyd, Ent. Week. Intell. iv. 143 (1858)." Since the 

 Entom. "Additions" were published, coloured figures of imago, 

 larva, and tenanted portion of food-plant of this species, as well 

 as of its allies L. sucedella and L. plantaginella, have appeared in 

 Proc. Dors. N. H. & A. F. C. xv. pi. adv. p. 59.
