NOTES ON LEPIDOPTERA. 183 



Oporahia dilutata is common in hedge-rows during the same month. 



Chora cindaria occurs in the vicinity of Dalmally, Argyleshire, during the 

 spring: taken by Mr. Buxton, of Manchester, to whom we are also indebted 

 for a notice of some Noduoe, which we hope to insert in an appendix. 



Aplocera ccEsiata, though by no means a common species, seems to be very 

 generally distributed in this district, not far from the coast in Fifeshire, and 

 near the Frith of Clyde; mostly affecting heathy places. 



Larapropteryx hadiata is somewhat scarce, but widely diffused in woods, etc. 

 through this district. 



Mlnoa chverophyllata is common near woods and pastures in July. 



Eupithecia elongata, vulgata, and angustata are common in gardens and 

 hedge-rows. E. centaureata is occasionally met with at Glasgow, but is by 

 no means common. 



Camptogramma hilineata and Emmelesia turharia are very abundant everywhere. 

 E. decolorata is not common, but is found in various localities. E. albulata 

 is far from scarce in the vicinity of heaths, etc. E ericetata also occurs in 

 similar localities. 



Ptycliopoda dilutata and lividata frequent hedge-rows and gardens, and are 

 common and widely distributed. 



Acidalia remutata is abundant in woody places everywhere. A. aversata 

 is equally common. A.fumata is much scarcer; we have only noticed it on 

 the heathy hills of the Isle of Arran, towards the end of June. 



Poecilophasia marginata occurs rarely in woody places near the Frith of Clyde. 



Veiiilia maculcda is also rare; found in similar districts to the preceding. 



Macaria liturata frequents fir plantations, but is not often met with; we 

 have generally noticed it on the wing during the afternoon. 



Pyrausta pimicealis appears to be a scarce insect, as we have only observed 

 it flitting about heath on Carmichael hill, near Lanark. 



Margaritia institialis and M. fuscalis; Mesographe forficalis and Simaethis 

 Fahriciana, are abundant everywhere. 



Ennychia cingulata is rather local, frequenting gi'assy slopes in Dumbartonshire. 



Hypena prohoscidalis is common in many places during June and July. 



In marshy places near Glasgow Hydrocampa lemnata is common; hovering 

 over the duckweed. H. potamoyata und Nymphoeata frequent also moist places, 

 and are widely dispersed through the district. 



Pyralis farinalis is not uncommon in outhouses, etc. in Glasgow. 



Aglossa pinguhialis also occurs in similar localities in many places.
