104 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



it is similar to Citrago, and refers to Clerck's figure, which 

 certainly does not represent Cerago, bnt resembles Sulphu- 

 rago, S. v., a species closely allied to Citrago. 



Acidalia interjectaria, Boisd. — If Hiibner's figure of Dilu- 

 taria is meant for this species, it is very bad. 



Acidalia promntata, Gn. — Dr. Knaggs has followed the 

 German authors in erroneously calling this species Immutata, 

 although Guenee has clearly pointed out that the Immutata 

 of Linneus is the Caespitaria of Boisduval, and probably the 

 Sylvestraria of Hubner. The description in the * Fauna 

 Suecica' and the figure of Clerck leave no room for doubt. 



Acidalia straminata, Tr., and marginepunctatay Dale and 

 Stephens, are given as distinct species. I hope Dr. Knaggs 

 will publish his reasons for separating them. 1 have sent 

 specimens of our Marginepunctata to my friend M. Guenee 

 and other continental entomologists, and they have always 

 been named Straminata, Tr. 



Acidalia mancuniata, Knaggs. — I wrote a few days since 

 to a friend living at Manchester, and his decided opinion is 

 that Mancuniata and Subsericeata are only slight varieties of 

 one species. 



1 sent some specimens of the ordinary Subsericeata to Pro- 

 fessor Zeller a year or two since, and he said they were 

 his Pinguedinata, and that his Asbestaria and Cloraria of 

 Roessler were probably mere varieties of the same species. 



Acidalia sylvestraria, Hiib., is certainly the Immutata of 

 Linneus, and his name must be adopted. 



Acidalia /umata. — This name was published in Stephens's 

 * Illustrations' in July, 1831. Freyer's name Commutata 

 was not published till 1833. 



Larentia rujicinctata, Gn. = Jlavicinciata, Steph. — Dr. 

 Knaggs calls this pretty moth the Ablutaria of Boisduval, a 

 very different species, which has never been found in Britain : 

 it very much resembles Salicata, but is rather larger. M. 

 Bellier de la Chavignerie sent me a nice series of specimens 

 which he took in Corsica. Ruficinctata is described by 

 Guenee, in his volumes on the Geometrse, from Scotch spe- 

 cimens which I sent to him. 



i-Eupilhecia pimpinellaia and E. denotata of Ilubner are 

 given as one species, but they are quite distinct, and the 

 latter is the Cainpanulata of Herrich-Schajffer.
