NOTES OK LRPIDOI'TERA. 13 



Hill, near Lanark, in the month of July. A. tnpunctulana occurs in woody- 

 places a few miles from the same locality, where we have taken it secreted 

 amongst the roots of shrubs, in the month of January. 



Clepsis rusticana is common in marshy places near Glasgow, early in June. 



Teras emargana and effradana are generally distributed in woody places, 

 appearing at the end of summer. 



Dictyopteryx ciliana and coniaminana are both common in the month of 

 August. 



Argyrotoza Conway ana occurs near Glasgow, and along the Frith of Clyde 

 not uncommonly. A. Daldorfiana is also common in many places, generally 

 frequenting hedges. A. Bergmanniana is very abundant. 



Orthotcenia Bentleijana frequents heathy places, especially in the vicinity of 

 firs; 0. comitana is common amongst firs; 0. antiquana is generally distributed. 



Eupoecilia augicstana is a comnion insect in many places. 



Lozopera straminea is local in its distribution, but occurs in abundance near 

 Glasgow; also in the Isle of Arran. L. Smeathmanniana is much scarcer. 



Xanthosetia Zoegana is occasionally met with, but is far from common in 

 any locality. X. diversana, though perhaps somewhat local, is very abundant 

 where it occurs; a few miles from Lanark it appears in plenty, hovering 

 amongst broom during the daytime. 



Depressaria codosa, ivrorella, and hadieUa are found in plenty throughout 

 Lanarkshire and elsewhere. 



Anacampsis terrella, Betulea, and rhomhella are all plentifully distributed 

 throughout this district. 



Acompsis cinerella occurs near Glasgow, in July. 



Macrocliila hicostella is abundant on heaths near Lanark and elsewhere, at 

 the beginning of July. 



(Ecnphora flavomaculella and stiJphurella both occur sparingly near Glasgow; 

 the latter, however, is much commoner. 



Diurnea fagella is abundant in many places during February or March, 

 generally found resting on the bark of trees. 



Adda viridella occurs but rarely in this district; we have only noticed it 

 in the vicinity of Glasgow. A. Swammerdamella occurs in woods near Glasgow, 

 flying in great profusion during the afternoon. 



Yponomeuta padella frequents gardens, but we have never seen it in any 

 abundance; indeed we might almost term it a scarce species in Lanarkshire. 



Tdea Gurtisella is by no means a scarce insect, frequenting hedges, etc. 

 The chrysalis of this species is beautifully striped with pale yellow along the 

 wing cases and abdominal segments, and is enclosed in a cocoon of the most 

 delicate white network. T. ccesiella is also common in most parts of this 

 district. T. lutarella is met with much more sparingly. 



Ederesa pruniella abounds everywhere during the summer; E. albistria is 

 however much scarcer. 



Elachista apicipunctella occurs near Glasgow and elsewhere.
