The Coleophora case is that which Pro- 
fessor Zeller reputes to belong to Or- 
bitella. The larvae in leaves of Thymus 
seem to he Coleopterous. 
NOVELTIES IN 1859. 
We have a rather formidable list of 
new British species to record this year, 
as the following list of names will 
show’ : — 
Clostera Anachoreta 
Bryophila Algae 
Leucania putrescens 
... extranea 
Noctua flammatra 
Acontia albicollis 
Sophronia emortualis 
Margarodes Unionalis 
Tinea Dubiella 
Depressaria Iihodochrella 
Opostega Spatulella 
Nepticula Castanella. 
Our object in now publishing the 
list is to call the attention of our 
readers to it, with the view of their 
supplying any omissions which we may 
have accidentally made. 
CAPTURES. 
Lepidoptera. 
Colias Edusa in Cheshire. — A friend 
of mine, this afternoon, captured a line 
specimen of this species. This is almost 
the hist time I have heard of its being 
caught in Cheshire. — W. E. Heap, 
Sandbach ; October 4. 
A neu> British Pyralis. — Mr. George 
King, of 85, Lower Union Street, Tor- 
quay, has sent to me to determine a spe- 
cimen of Margarodes Unionalis, taken 
within two miles of Torquay; the insect 
is in splendid condition. It is paler than 
Palealis, whiter and more iridescent, but 
has a brownish streak along the costa, 
edged below with yellowish, and there is 
a row of minute black dots along this 
yellowish border and on the hind margin, 
also a black dot at the termination of 
the discoidal cell of the anterior wings. 
Size 1 inch 2 lines. — H. T. Stainton, 
Mounlsjield , Lewisham ; Oct. 4. 
Hydrcecia Petasitis at Taunton. — A 
friend residing here, who has but recently 
taken up the study of Entomology, has 
been fortunate in meeting with a speci- 
men of this insect, at light. I have 
frequently been struck with the abund- 
ance of the food-plant of the larva, and 
thought it likely that the insect would 
turn up here at some time or other. — 
W. G. Rawlinson, Taunton ; Sept. 30. 
Heliothis Scutosa a Mistake. — I regret 
to say that the insect I recorded (Intel, 
vi. 147) as H. Scutosa , having been sub- 
jected to examination, turns out to be 
a very pale and curiously marked speci- 
men of TI. Dipsacea. — Rev. G. C. Green, 
Parsonage, Hamworthy , Poole, Dorset ; 
October 6.
