* Most of these records are obtained from the Zoologist, Entomologist's 

 Weekly hitelligencer, The Entomologist' s Monthly Magazine, The Entomologist, 

 and The Entomologist's Record. Those made by professional dealers, and those 

 about which, from the time of appearance, &c, doubt occurs, are enclosed in 

 square brackets. It is quite possible that most of the May and June records 

 refer to Phryxus livornica. There may be a few unrecorded British examples in 

 collections, but very large numbers in British collections are doubtlessly not 

 British. 



f These records especially want confirmation.
