LEPIDOPTERA. 
EUBOLIA MiENIATA, Scopoli; (see frontispiece, 
fig. 3*). A specimen of this is in the collection of Mr. C. 
S. Gregson, who " obtained it from Mr. Reeves of Carlisle, 
many years ago, along with a poor depuncta ; Mr. Reeves 
told Mr. Gregson he took it himself on one of the high hills 
near Baron Wood.” The larva feeds on broom at the end 
of May, the moth appearing in July. Readily distinguished 
from our other British species; it comes nearest to inensu- 
raria , but the blueish-slaty colour of the anterior wings, the 
straightness of the anterior margin of the central fascia, the 
large projection from the middle of its posterior margin, and 
the yellow outlines of these margins, would readily enable 
any one to recognize it. 
SIMAETHIS PARIETARLE, Stainton, n. sp. At 
the end of July, Mr. Harding found a small larva feeding 
on the Parietaria officinalis at Deal, and forwarded some of 
them to me for examination ; I had no conception, however, 
that they would have produced a Simaetkis , but anticipated 
a species of Butalis . In the month of August, the perfect 
insects made their appearance, and are so excessively like 
S. Fabriciana , that I have not yet been able to detect anV 
essential character in the markings; it is, however, a de¬ 
cidedly smaller and darker insect, and the costa of the 
anterior wings is a little more bowed. From this circum¬ 
stance, and the unusual food-plant, I think it better to an¬ 
nounce the species as distinct, thereby calling attention more 
prominently to it, and leaving it to future observers to decide 
on its specific distinctness. 
EUDOREA ATOMAL1S, Doubleday, n. sp.; taken 
by Mr. Weaver, in Scotland; expands 8^ lines; it is allied 
to E. ambigualis , but rather smaller and darker. The 
anterior wings are fuscous, with darker markings, and with 
some scattered whitish scales towards the base, on the disc? 
Expands 1^ inch : the figure is a little magnified.
