LEPIDOPTERA. 
logist for 1850, Appendix c. Newman describes it as 
Pysche Fenella , but the specimens then known were not as 
fine as some Mr. Weaver subsequently bred, when Mr. 
Stephens was enabled to recognize it as the opacetta of 
Herrich-Schaffer. It is still in few collections. 
Psyche marginenigrella, Bruand; in the collection 
of Mr. Bond. The following notice of it appears in the 
Proceedings of the Entomological Society for May, 1853. 
“ Mr. Bond exhibited a specimen of a Psyche new to this 
country, pronounced by Mr. Bruand, who was engaged on 
a Monograph of the Psychidce to be his P. marginenigrella. 
Mr. Bond reared it from a case which he found attached to 
a tree, either in Lancashire or Yorkshire.” M. Bruand 
returned the specimen as probably new, and suggested the 
name in case it should prove so; but he wished to see more 
specimens, and know more of its history, before describing it, 
hence it is not mentioned in his Monograph of the Psychidce. 
Fumea reticella, Newman; first recorded by Mr. New¬ 
man in the Zoologist for 1847, p. 1863—“ Mr. Ingall has 
captured a small Psyche , with beautifully mottled wings; it 
is very different from the known British species, but in some 
degree resembles Psyche undulella of the Continent; it is 
proposed to call the new species Psyche retiellaP Mr. 
Stevens met with it near Sheerness in June, 1850, among 
Plant ago maritima (see Zoologist, 1850, page 2857). New¬ 
man describes it in the Zoologist for 1850, Appendix xciv., 
under the name of Psyche reticella. It is not at present in 
many collections. 
Lithosia pygmasola, Doubleday; first recorded in the 
Zoologist for 1847, page 1914, where Doubleday describes 
it, and then adds “ This small species, which appears to be 
new, has been taken on the coast of Kent among rushes.” 
. rnore ^ etai l e d notice of the capture of this species, from 
the pen of Mr. Harding, appears in the Zoologist for 1849,
