LEPIDOPTERA. 
described by Douglas in the Zoologist for 1846, at page 
1269, a figure being given on the preceding page. Mr. 
Douglas says—“This moth I found on the salt marshes 
near St. Osyth, Essex, on the 8th of July, 1845. It is nearly 
related to C. griseana , Haworth ; and to C. Vectisana, 
Westwood, whence the name I have given it.” 
Eupcecilia Yectisana, Westwood; first recorded, de¬ 
scribed and figured in Humphrey's and Westwood's British 
Moths, vol. ii. p. 176, pi. c. fig. 15, from specimens “taken 
in a salt marsh, near Ryde, in the Isle of Wight, flying over 
the grass, in the evening of the 5th of August, 1843, by S. 
Stevens, Esq.” Doubleday gives this as a doubtful synonym 
for the preceding; Stephens gives them as doubtfully dis¬ 
tinct. The similarity of locality favours the idea of their 
being identical; future observation must decide the point. 
Eupcecilia notulana, Zeller; the first record of its 
capture in this country is from the pen of Mr. Allen Hill, 
in the Zoologist for 1850, page 2883—“ Eupcecilia notu - 
lana; beginning of July, flying at sunset by the side of 
ditches, in marshes and old fish ponds, over Carex palu- 
dosa; numerously.” At page 2956 of the same volume, 
Mr. Allen Hill gives the further observation—“ It flies for 
a very brief space of time at sunset (say ten minutes), and as 
it is rather numerous with me in its habitat, I should fancy 
it must have escaped the notice of collectors so long chiefly 
from that circumstance.” 
Eupcecilia Anthemidana, Curtis; bred by Mr. Curtis 
from the flower head of Anthemis Cotula , but I believe not 
hitherto anywhere recorded. It is readily distinguished by 
its size, being much less than E. nana. I have a specimen 
I took at Charlton Sand Pit, August 20th, 1849. 
Eupcecili v, flaviciliana, Doubleday; first enumerated 
in Doubleday Catalogue, page 27. I believe it is still un*
