THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER.

I have only seen five specimens bred by 
Dr. Wocke. This must therefore retain 
the name Artemisiella, because Wocke 
so named it, and I have unmistakably 
figured and described it under that name. 
I have not found the true Gnaphaliella 
near Ratisbon ; I have compared all my 
specimens taken here, and all belong to 
that species we breed from Artemisia 
campestris. This must therefore receive 
a new name. — Ibid. 
[I have carefully examined the type 
specimens so kindly forwarded by Dr. 
Herrick-Scksffer, and I am prepared 
to admit that the Breslau species, the 
grey insect, may prove distinct, and if so 
the name Artemisiella will naturally be 
retained for it. I should be very glad if 
Dr. Wocke could forward me some larvae 
of this species. For the Ratisbon species, 
which occurs on the Artemisia campestris , 
I would suggest the name of Ratis- 
bonensis. 
The synonymy of the three insects 
will then be — 
Bucculatrix Gnaphaliella , Fischer, Zeller 
(non B.-S.). 
B. Artemisiella, W ocke, H errich-Schaeffer 
(not of other writers). 
B. Ratisbonensis (B. Gnaphaliella, Herr.- 
Schaeffer, but not of other authors ; 
B. Artemisiella, Stainton olim). 
And I trust we have thus completely 
escaped from the “ strange predicament.”

Professorship of Entomology at 
Oxford. — On Thursday, the 7th inst., 
Mr. Westwood took the oaths as “ Dope 
Professor of Zoology,” that Professorship 
having received the University seal on 
the 29th of January. We understand 
that the University authorities objected 
to the title of Professor of Entomology, 
or even of Invertebrate Zoology, fearing 
they might be asked where were the 
Professors of the other branches of 
Zoology. 
YORK ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY. 
The annual meeting was held on 
Tuesday, the 8th inst., at Mr. Prest’s, 
7, Castlegate : H. Moore, Esq., in the

The following is' a copy of the Annual

“ The Committee, in presenting the

creasing usefulness in affording mutual 
instruction, in the study of Entomology, 
to its members.

the past season, the industry of the mem- 
bers has been rewarded by the following
