LEPIDOPTERA. 
Phljeodes crenana, Hiibner; first enumerated as Bri- 1 
tish in Stephens’s Museum Catalogue, at page 36. It has 
been taken in Scotland by Mr. Weaver. 
Anchylopera U pupan a, Treit.; first noticed as a British 
species in the Proceedings of the Entomological Society for 
April, 1849, when “Mr. Douglas stated that Mr. H. Double- 
day had informed him, that last year he had bred the Phox - 
opteris Upupana of Hiibner, a very rare species of Tortri • • 
cidce and new to this country.” The insect has since oc¬ 
curred at Darenth Wood, Black Park, near Hastings, 
Epping, &c., but still continues rare. 
Anchylopera comptana, Frolich; first recorded as 
British by Mr. Douglas, in the Entomologist, at page 385, 
under the name of A. cuspidana . “This pretty little moth 
is, I believe, new to Britain ; it is a very different thing 
from the insect figured under this name in Wood’s Index; , 
taken at Riddlesdown.” It is figured and described as A> 
cuspidana in Humphrey’s and Westwood’s British Moths, I 
vol. ii. page 132, pi. Ixxxv. fig. 15. On the chalk downs 
at Sanderstead and Mickleham this insect occurs in the 
greatest profusion. Last spring it was on the wing as early 
as the 14th of April. It is double-brooded, the second brood ; 
appearing in August. 
Bactra nigrovittana, Stephens ; first enumerated and 
described in Stephens’s Museum Catalogue, at page 40 and 1 
99. It is uniformly smaller than 13. lanceolana, and does 
not appear to vary at all; I have seen several specimens 
from different localities in Scotland. 
Pcecilochroma oppressana, Treit.; first enumerated as 
British in Stephens’s Museum Catalogue, at page 43 ; 
Doubleday writes me—“ I have a pair taken in our forest. 
I have never seen any other British specimens.” 
P cecilochroma occultana, Douglas ; first recorded 
and described by Douglas in the Zoologist for 1846, at pag e
