NEW BRITISH SPECIES SINCE 1835 .

rose leaves I reared Spilonota aquana, S -, n. s.” This 
latter, the new species , is enumerated in Doubleday’s Cata¬ 
logue, at page 23, as roscecolana; and also described in the 
Zoologist for 1850, Appendix cvi. It is not uncommon in 
gardens in some localities. The rounded costa of the ante¬ 
rior wings readily distinguishes it. 
Spilonota amcenana, Dup.; first noticed as British by 
myself, in the Zoologist for 1848, page 1988—The insect 
liad then occurred in many localities, and has since been met 
with plentifully : it frequents the Rosa spinosissima. 
Spilonota neglectana, Dup.; first enumerated as Bri¬ 
tish in Doubleday’s Catalogue, page 23—the species had 
previously been confounded with dealbana , under the name 
sociana. From dealbana it is distinguished by the basal 
portion of the anterior wings being of a darker colour, with 
a blueish tint. From Mr. Doubleday’s and Mr. Douglas’s 
observations this frequents poplars. 
Spilonota Aceriana, Dup.; first recorded as British 
by myself, in the Zoologist for 1847, page 1989, as Philalcea 
Aceriana; it had previously been confounded with dealbana, 
^ is a very common species among poplars in July. 
Drapholitha minutana, Hubner; described and first 
recorded as British by Douglas, in the Zoologist for 1845, 
' lt page 844, under the name of Carpocapsa minutana. It 
Is by no means uncommon on palings under white poplars, 
at Camberwell and Blackheath, in July, and is now in most 
collections. 
Crapholitha geminana, Stephens; first enumerated 
described by Stephens, in his Museum Catalogue, page 
‘ o and 99. Specimens are in the collection of Mr. Shep- 
> according to Stephens it has occurred at Whittlesea- 
* ete, and in Yorkshire. [Mr. Buxton met with this, in great 
^undanee, at the beginning of August, 1854, on Rivington 
1 near Bolton le Moors.]
