THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 105 



Eupithecia constrictata, Gn. — This is not the Distinctaria 

 of Herri ch-SchaefFer, but I believe it is the Euphrasiata of 

 this author, but Guenee's name is the older of the two. 



Etipithecia suhciliata. — Dr. Knaggs gives this small 

 species as the Laquaearia of Herrich-Schaeffer, to which it 

 bears no resemblance. My late kind friend Lederer informed 

 me that in Austria it was considered to be the Inturbata of 

 Hiibner, but his figure is very coarse, and, if intended for 

 this species, is very bad. 



Ypsipetes ruherata. — Donovan's figure of Literata cer- 

 tainly represents Impluviata. 



Coremia ligustrata, S. V. — This is certainly the Quadri- 

 fasciaria of Linneus, as is proved by Clerck's figure and the 

 specimen which still exists in the Linnean cabinet. 



Phihalapteryx polygrammata, Hiib. — The British species 

 is the Conjunctaria of Lederer, and, after carefully com- 

 paring it with specimens of the true Polygrammata, I believe 

 it to be a distinct species. 



Ennychia ostrinalis, Hiib., is quite distinct from E. pur- 

 puralis : it is double-brooded, and there is only one brood of 

 Purpuralis annually. 



Hydrocampa Nymph (Bat a ^ Linn., is only the male of his 

 Polomogata, as is proved by his description and the speci- 

 men in his museum ; yet Dr. Knaggs repeats the old error of 

 making it synonymous with the Stagnata of Donovan. 



Cramhus selaselluSy Hiib. — Dr. Knaggs makes this species 

 identical with the Pratellus of Linneus: this is certainly an 

 error, as the description in the ' Fauna Suecica ' and the 

 reference to Clerck's figure prove. " Tinea pratella, alis 

 superioribus albidis, linea albissima, postice ramosa, apice 

 striis obliquis :" this description cannot apply to Selasellus, 

 which has the anterior wings buff-coloured, with a straight 

 white line, and there is no trace of any oblique streaks at the 

 apex. Clerck's figure correctly represents our common 

 Pratellus. 



Penthina Similana, S. V., is not a British species. I sup- 

 pose Dr. Knaggs means Similana of Wilkinson. This and 

 other similar errors arose, no doubt, from the objectionable 

 practice of employing the same name more than once in a 

 family. 



Penthina ustulana. Haw. — This is theFuligana of Hiibner,
