LEPIDOPTERA OF THE BRISTOL DISTRICT. IJl 



Somerset. Clevedon. g.h. Weston-super- 

 Mare. G.R.c. Scarce and local, 



LiTHOSiA GRiSEOLA. Hlib. Glos. Staplcton, Sea Mills, 

 Westbury, Almondsbury, &c. Not common. 

 J, Somerset. Banks of the Avon below Leigh 



Woods, and Portishead. Not scarce in damp 

 meadows. 

 „ „ Var. Stramineola. Dbl. This variety 



occurs, less commonly, with the type, and I 

 have also met with an intermediate form. 

 ,, quadra. Glos. A single specimen was taken some 



years ago by Mr. John Bolt, on a gas lamp in 

 Bristol. The only record in the district- 

 „ RUBRicoLLis. Throughout the district^ but local, 



and nowhere common. 



Deiopeia pulchella. Glos. "^ A fine male specimen was 

 taken by my mother (an old entomologist) in a 

 garden at Bishopston, Bristol, on September 

 loth, 1871." — J. B. J:\T\is, in '' Untomolopst,^' 

 Vol. v., p. 414. 



Somerset. One recorded by Mr. Stevens in 

 1847, ill the '' Transactions of the Entomological 

 Society J Neio Series,'" Vol. t. 



Euchelia Jacobje. L. Abundant everywhere. In the 

 Leigh Woods I have frequently found larvae of 

 this species feeding on coltsfoot {Tussilago 

 farfara), even when there was plenty of the 

 usual food plant (ragwort) within reach. The 

 curious change of diet does not appear in this 

 case to have produced any variation in the 

 coloration of the moths, so far as I have 

 observed, 



Callimorfha dominula. L. Glos. Henbury, scarce, g.h. 

 Blaise Castle Woods. p.h.v. Bussage and 

 Selsley Hill, near Stroud. m.g.m. Clifton
