12 NOTES ON LEnnoi'TERA. 



L. Hohniana appears to be local in its distribution in this district: we 

 have only met with it in a single locality about a mile from Glasgow. 



Philedone Oerninglana is a scarce species, generally found in tlie vicinity of 

 firs, in various places on the Frith of Clyde. 



Antithesia hetuletana is a very common species everywhere during the summer. 



Spilonota cynoshatella, with its congeners sticticnna, Sti'cemiana, and triiiia- 

 culana are far from rare, and generally distributed. 



Pseudotomia aiirana is rather local, but not a scarce insect, generally 

 frequenting marshy places. P. Petiverella, and P. atromargana are not unfre- 

 quent in the neighbourhood of Glasgow and elsewhere. P. plumhagana is 

 much more local: we are only aware of its occurrence at Carmichael. 



Steganoptyclia retusana, Ancliijlopcra Lundiana, and A. fractifasciana are 

 generally distributed throughout this district. 



Philalcea hilunana and P. fiinbriana both occur near Glasgow, but not 

 commonly. P. Mitterhacherlana, stdwcellana, and nigromaculana are very 

 generally distributed^ the latter, especially, is a common insect in Lanarkshire. 



Carpocapsa cana is frequently met with near Glasgow and Lanark; G. 

 uUcetana is abundant in many varieties everywhere, especially where furze 

 abounds; G. perlepidana occm's near Glasgow, but appears to be scarce and 

 local. 



Pactra pauperana is a variable species occurring not unfrcqtiently near 

 Glasgow and elsewhere. B. plogana is much scarcer, but is met with in 

 similar localities. 



Ablahia 4:-pi(,nctana occurs sparingly in various places at the beginning 

 of August. 



Gnephasla Lojiana, asinana, ohsoletana, intcrjcctana, and masculana all 

 frequent various localities in Lanarkshire, and along the I'^rith of Clyde, 

 during the summer months. They are all more or less local in their habits, 

 and not abundant. 



Sericoris -i-maculana is common amongst firs everywhere; S. vrticana is also 

 abundant; S. micana occurs rarely in Carmichael, in July; S. subsequana we 

 have only taken on Tinto, a few miles from Lanark, and is seemingly very 

 local. In this locality it abounds in great profusion towards the end of July, 

 amongst the grassy heath, always increasing in numbers towards the summit. 



Pcecilochroma Solandriana occurs not unfrequently near Glasgow; P. trap- 

 ezana and communana are, however, more abundant. 



Lophoderus ministramis occurs in woods near Glasgow and Lanark about 

 midsummer, and is not at all rare. In the latter locality some beautiful 

 varieties of a dark-colour occur. 



Many varieties of the genus Peronea abound in this district; which, with 

 many, are considered as species. We may enumerate as abundant denizens of 

 the hedge-rows, P. asperana, ScJialleriana, and tristana, without attempting 

 further to wade through the prolix synonymy of this variable genus. 



Aderis aspcrsana we have only noticed on the marshy spots of Carmichael
