258 LIST OF LEPIDOPTERA. 



38. G. phlceas.— Common. 



N.B. — I have in my collection a straw-coloured variety of this species 

 taken near|Ipswich. (B.) 



A straw-coloured variety of this species was taken this summer (1857) 

 at Erwarton, near Ipswich, by Mr. A. Berners. (C.) 



39. P. argiolus. — Taken by Mr. Levett, in Finborough Park, but not 

 the last year or two. (B.) 



40. P. Corydon. — Taken by me on Creeting Hills, August 14, 1856. (B) 



41. P. alexis. — Common. 



Mr. Bree and myself took the larvae of this insect plentifully in July, 

 1857, on the Thorny Best-harrow, {Ononis campestris, Bab.,) when sweeping 

 for the larvae of Heliotliis marginata. It is dark green and onisciform. 

 The pupa is a very pale brown. In colour and slightness of texture it 

 very much resembles that of M. stellatarum. It is enclosed in a slight web 

 amongst the roots of the grass. (C.) 



42. P. ageslis. — Scarce and local. It is stated in the "Manual" to 

 "occur only in the South;" but this is an error. 



43. S. alveolus. — Common, but local. 



44. P. linea. — Common. (B.) 



45. T. Tages. — Common, but local. 



46. P. sylvanus. — Abundant. 



Arge Galathea is reported to have been taken on the chalk hills about 

 Coddenham a few years ago. Any insects omitted in the list, if supported 

 by competent authority, will be inserted in an appendix at the end of the 

 series of papers. — Ed. 



In the above list of the British Butterflies observed in Suffolk there 

 will be noticed one or two discrepancies when compared with insects said 

 to have occurred near Stowmarket in "Stainton's Manual," which information 

 was supplied by the editor. "When that information was asked for we did 

 not know that it was intended to be inserted in a standard work, and 

 consequently one or two mistakes have occurred either from inadvertence, 

 of in consequence of relying too much upon doubtful authorities. We look 

 upon the "Manual" as a most valuable work, and one which reflects the 

 highest credit upon its zealous aud indefatigable author. It is the first 

 really sound work on Entomology which is placed by its extraordinary 

 cheapness within the reach of everybody. As such it is the duty of all 

 sincere Entomologists to make it as perfect as possible, and in this spirit 

 we shall feel obliged if those who possess the work will pass their pen 

 through the "St." at the end of the following insects: — A. aglaia, M. 

 cinxia, and S. paniscus, (they may occur in the county, but we have no 

 certain information;) and add an "St." to the following: — L. sibilla, T. 

 betuloe, T. W-album, P. corydon, and P. agestis. — Ed.
