In this list of Bombyces the unrecorded insects are : 
N ola, one or two species ; I am inclined to think all are centonalis 
ut there is so much difference in shade, that, perhaps, there may be 
two kinds.. J 
Setma, probably another species amongst the varieties of aurita. 
LitJiosia complana P, the yellow is so much duller than in the type 
that it may be different. 
Gnophna quadra, taken at Sierre (not in either Visp or Saas 
Ocnogyna parasita, eggs of this moth were found (in the Valais) 
m our walk from Chamounix to Martigny. They were brought home, 
and Mr. Baker was successful in rearing the species. The female is 
especially curious, looking like a Spilosoma, with the wings of a female 
Dturnea. Four species of Ptychid* complete the list. 
1 shall not attempt at present to give the names of Noctum or 
(j-eometrce . 
The few walnut-trees in the Visp Valley were as much disfigured 
by Gracdaria juglandella as my lilac bushes are by Q. syringella at 
home The box containing my Micro-Lepidoptera was by accident 
crushed quite flat , and none escaped. 
. The p ,umes not recorded in my former list (Eut. Mo. Mag vol 
xvi p. 21) were Leioptilus oarpUdaclylus, taken low down in the Visp 
V alley and 'Oxyptilus otscurus, caught m the hilly field half way up 
the Kiirel. J 1 
I hope time and opportunity will allow me to increase this list at 
some future day.

A NEW SPECIES OF DJEQEERIA. 
BY H. K. RIDLEY. 
In March, 1879, I took, under the dead bark of an elm tree in a 
field near Curnnor, in Oxfordshire, several specimens of a Degeeria 
which I at first referred to I). nivalis, but, on recently examining 
them, I find them to be very distinct. 6 
Degeeria pulchella, sp. n. 
Head yellow ; eyes black, connected by a black V- S liaped band. First thoracic 
segment yellow, ante,-, or margin black; second segment black; third yellow; the
