A HISTORY OF NORTHAMPTONSHIRE DELTOIDES, PYRALIDES, CRAMBITES, TORTRICES, TINE^E AND PTEROPHORI The following list of Deltoides, Pyralides, Crambites, and Micro- Lepidoptera, observed in the neighbourhood of Northampton, has been compiled by Mr. Eustace R. Bankes, from lists by Messrs. W. Hull and H. F. Tomalin, published in the 'Journal of the Northamptonshire Natural History Society and Field Club, vol. iii. pp. 24-26, 47-50 (1884), bringing the long-obsolete classification and nomenclature employed by these authors into accordance with those adopted for the Macro-Lepido- ptera. It is doubtful which of our known species are referred to by Messrs. Hull and Tomalin under the names ' Anacampsis angulifasci- ella (Curt.)' and ' Glyphipteryx quadrisignella (Hiibn.).' — E. R. B.

It includes, in addition to the species of Coleoptera enumerated on pp. 90-94, a few species of Or- thoptera, and several common species of Neuroptera, Hymenoptera, Diptera and Hemiptera. The collection is too small and incomplete to be regarded as representative of the insect fauna of the county, the publication of the names of the species is consequently considered useless. — H.
