Orthosia Conradi, Grt. Occasional here at light towards end of July. 



During the same month at Brandon in 1896 this was one of the 



common things on the wing about dusk. 

 Orthosia lutosa, Andr. July 12th (1898), one or two at light ; also from 



Cartwright. 

 Homoglfea hircina, Morr. This early species was met with first this 



season. On April 14th and 15th I took a couple of dozen at light. 



These were easily divided into three forms or varieties. 

 Glfea inulta, Grt. Occasional at light, and one of the most plentiful 



species at sugar, end of August to end of season (October). 

 Xanthia flavago, Fabr. End of August to end of September. Taken at 



sugar, at bloom and at light, also by beating. 

 Cirroedia pampina, Gn. Common at sugar from middle of August until 



well on in September, comes to light. A somewhat variable species. 

 Scoliopteryx libatrix, Linn. Plentiful at sugar in Elm Park on Sept. 15th 



(1896). Taken as early as the TSt. Last season I took a specimen at 



light on May 20th. 

 Scopelosoma tristigmata, Grt. At sugar and light. 

 " Walkeri, Grt. At sugar and light. 



" sidus, Gn. At sugar and light. 



Scopelosoma devia, Grt. Two at sugar and another taken under a log 



on April 22nd (1894), the latter being a beautifully fresh specimen. 



I have taken these Scopelosomas at sugar from September 15th 



into October, also a few individuals in the spring at light ; none 



of them have been taken in any numbers. Walkeri appear to vary 



considerably. 

 Litholomia napasa, Morr. Frequent at light during September. 

 Xylina disposita, Morr. '' At sugar from middle to end of September, 



petulca, Grt. 

 signosa, Walk.

 contenta, Grt. 

 Georgii, Grt. 

 laticinerea, Grt. 

 pexata, Grt. 



also at light (September and May) and by 

 beating. Pexata seems to be rare here, and 

 of the others, the only really common species 

 is laticinerea. Xylinas are often met with 

 sitting on fences. On August loth two 

 pupre were found under the bark of a stump, 

 producing Bethunei at end of month. 



Xylina Thaxteri, Grt. I have not taken this species at sugar, my three 



specimens all being captured off fences.
