\corodonia by Mr. Greening, of Warrington. On examining this with genuine 
pecimens of Ptcrophorus hieracii, sent by Professor Zeller to Mr. Doubleday, and by 
ilerr Miihlig to Mr. Stainton, it is evidently a quite different species ; and next month, 
y hope to describe it under the name of Pterophorus teucrii (Greening), taking 
Advantage of the opportunity to give a short monograph on the nearly alUed European 
species. I should feel very much indebted to any one who would in the mean time 
boUect evidence as to the existence of the true MeracU in England, as also to those 
Uo have an opportunity of examining exotic collections, if they would kindly compare 
the Pterophorus teucrii with the P. marginellus of Zeller; this species I have never 
Iseen, and'the description in Linneea Entomologica, it must be confessed, agrees in many 
•respects very closely with the propo.-ed P. teucrii, especially in the ground colour of 
W wings " hrunneo fuscusr and in its having the " linea. in aXiis costal ante apicem 
'tenuis nivea." Any Entomologist clearing up these two points would confer an 
obhgation on me. — Id.
