in the Proceedings of the Entomological Society, for July, 
1849—“Mr. Weir exhibited specimens of Antitliesia Ca- 
■ preeana , reared froms allow leaves.” Mr. Doubleday writes 
me—“ I have bred it from sallows, but it seems rare here, 
and I am not aware that it is common anywhere—it is a very 
distinct species.” 
Antithesia ochroleucana, Hubner; first recorded as 
British by myself, in the Zoologist for 1848, page 1987—It 
is a common species in gardens, the larva feeding on the 
rose. 
Antithesia pr^elongana, Guenee; first recorded as 
British by myself, in the Zoologist for 1848, at page 1988- 
I have several times met with it Scotland. 
Antithesia dimidiana, Treit. ; the capture in this 
country is first recorded by Mr. Weaver, in the Zoologist

Zoologist for 1848, page 1988,1 described it under the name 
of A . leucomelana . It is not at all an uncommon species in 
Scotland and in the north of England. 
Antithesia sauciana, Hubner ; the first notice we find j 
of this as a British insect is in the Proceedings of the Fn* 
tomologicai Society, for April, 1849, when “ Mr. Douglas 
stated that the Tortrix , taken last season at Leith Hift 
Surrey, by Mr. Benjamin Standish, was the true Pentfdna 
sauciana of Hubner. The insect has since occurred i D 
plenty in the north of England, among bilberry, and is notf 
in most collections. 
Antithesia Grevillana, Curtis; figured and described 
by Curtis, in his British Entomology, fol. 567, from speci¬
