256 LIST OP LEPIDOPTERA. 



occurs in May and June. It is a pale reddish brown, and hairy. It feeds 

 indiscriminately upon various grasses, and crawls up to the top of the 

 blade as soon as it is dark. It effectually conceals itself during the day. 

 The pupa, which is pale brown, is enclosed in a slight web among the 

 roots of the grass. It is not easy to breed. Out of some fifty pupae I 

 reared only four or five perfect insects, two years since. I think it arose 

 from my having kept the pupae too dry, and not allowing them any sun. 

 (C.) 



16. S. pampliilus. — Very common. 



17. Limenitis sibilla. — Common in woods near Ipswich and Stowmarket. 

 (B.) 



18. Apatura iris. — Common in oak woods in various parts of the 

 county. (B.) 



19. Cynthia cardui. — Not common. Taken in my garden, September 6th., 

 1857. (B.) 



Mr. Stainton, in the Manual, does not mention the Common Nettle, 

 ( TTrtica dioica, Linn.,) as one of the food-plants of G. cardui, but I have 

 taken it quite as frequently upon that plant as upon Cnicus arvensis, Hoffm.j 

 which, bye the bye, is also omitted by Mr. Stainton in his list of food- 

 plants. The larva unites the edges of the leaf together by a web in which 

 it lives, only coming out to feed. (C.)

21. V. Io. — Common. 



22. V. antiopa. — Taken during the last ten years in various parts of the

 the only pair he had left; he described minutely the time and place where 

 he captured them, and stated to whom his duplicates had been given. (B.)
