Lepidoptera. 
Camptngramma jluviata , a new British 
Geametra. — During the past month two 
specimens of this insect, mentioned by 
Mr. Doubleday in the March number of 
the ‘ Zoologist,’ have been sent to me 
from Devonshire for determination. It 
is allied to Gemmata, which, in Guenee’s 
new volume, it immediately precedes, but 
the ground-colour is yellower, the central 
band narrower, and the white ring round 
the central spot is wanting. It is a South 
European insect, and as unlikely to be 
expected here as Sacraria. — H. T. 
Stainton ; March 1. 
A new British Tinea. — Mr. Backhouse 
lately sent to me to be named a very 
pretty little Tinea , Dasycera Bracteella ; 
“ it was taken near Gateshead, along 
with two or three more, by a young col- 
lector, iu a garden, flying about some 
old tree-slumps, last summer.” The in- 
sect was figured in Wood’s ‘Index’ 
among the doubtful British species, 
figure 72. The larva has been col- 
O 
lected by Herr Grabow, of Berlin, in 
the decaying bark of mulberry trees. — 
Ibid. 
Camptogramma Jluviata. — I should like 
to exchange a specimen of this insect, 
taken at Sidmouth last August, for a pair 
(a male and female) of N. Carmelita , in 
line condition. Please write first, as I 
have only one to part with. — E. S. Nor- 
combe, 5, Salutary Mount, Heavitree, 
Exeter ; Feb. 27. 
Rivaria and Alchernillaria. — 1 will 
rear from the egg both the species (or 
varieties) and settle the point. At pre- 
sent I consider them species. Alche- 
millaria appears in the beginning or 
middle of May in perfect condition. 
Rivaria appears in the middle of J une 
in perfect condition, at which time Alche- 
millaria is much worn. In July Rivaria 
is much worn. Alchernillaria again ap- 
pears in August in perfect condition. Of 
Rivaria I have only taken one or two in 
August, miserable specimens, only fit for 
dissection. — Ibid.

bered them as far as the ‘ Manual’ goes :
