§ Treitschke has altogether omitted Hiibner's Pyralis lucemalis, which 

 he says is certainly not an European species. Haworth gives it as a 

 Pyralis of his section albidalcs, but with great doubt if it be " an inhabitant 

 of Britain." — The specimen he describes, he purchased as an English one, 

 of a London dealer ; " but it is possible he might have been mistaken." — 

 Haworth, Lep. Brit. p. 384. No. 27. As Stephens has not only admitted 

 the species, but even formed a new genus, Diaphania, on it, we suppose 

 he has positive proof that it is British, and consequently that Treitschke's 

 assertion is erroneous. By the asterisk immediately after the specific 

 name lucemalis, it seems that Stephens believes the insect to have been 

 captured within 25 miles of St. Paul's, though the mark is accompanied 

 by a note of doubt. — Tr.
