THE WEEKLY ENTOMOLOGIST. 
Catachlysta Lemnata. Common. 
Stennopteryx Ilybridalis. Common. 
Having now concluded the Pyrales 
I have finished my task, as I have 
not studied the Tortrices and Tinea, 
and I am afraid that my list of the 
Pyrales is a very imperfect one. I 
have, however, done my best to give 
your readers an idea of the species 
that occur here. 
In the course of publishing my 
notes several errata have occurred. 
In the first place, — in the names of 
localities, — such as Haugh for Shough 
and Bampool for Barnpool etc. 
Seoond, — in the genus Tccniocampa 
you have left out Stabilis, — the com- 
monest of the whole, and put Miniosa 
“ not very rare.” It should be “ very 
rare.” In consequence of this I have 
been inundated with letters for the 
insect. 
Third, — and worst of all, — under 
the heading II. W-latinum, you have 
Potatoe ‘ haulers ’ instead of ‘ haulms’ 
Tour readers will laugh at what, I 
suppose, they will call a bit of West 
Country dialect. 
The End. 
[We can only express our regret 
that the mistakes mentioned have 
occurred. Mr. Dell, however, is not 
a distinct writer, and we were un- 
acquainted with many of the localities 
named ; so that, in those instances the 
errors were easily accounted for. 
Will all contributors please write all 
words of this class very distinctly. —

NOTES FROM LACORDAIRE. 
No. III. 
Last week we considered the first 
tribe of the family Cicindeletes ; — we 
now have to notice the second tribe, 
which M. Lac ordaire terms Megacepli- 
alides. The following are among the 
characteristics of this tribe. 
“ The three first joints of the ante- 
rior tarsi dilated in the males. In- 
ferior wings very rarely obsolete. * 
* * * This tribe is almost invariably 
possessed of bright colors and easy 
flight.” 
Our author then proceeds, after 
some further general remarks to deal 
with the genera comprising the tribe 
in detail. From his remarks we glean 
the following. 
“ This tribe only includes five gen- 
era, of which two only , — Megacephala 
and Tetracha have representatives in 
the ancient continent. 
Genus Oxycbeila. 
* * * * Elytra twice as wide, in 
front, as the base of the prothorax. 
Tho three first joints of the anterior 
tarsi dilated in the males. * * * * 
Tolerably large and beautiful in- 
sects, all peculiar to the tropical dis- 
tricts of South America, of uniform 
color, — ordinarily black, generally 
with a yellowish spot upon each ely“ 
tron. Their movements ore veri- 
rapid, but they do not tly. The ty- 
pical species ( 0 . tristis) alone, is com- 
mon in collections. * * * * It pro- 
duces a considerable noise, by rubbing
