LEPIDOPTERA OF THE BRISTOL DISTRICT. 4OI 



Phibalapteryx [polygrammata. B. Glos. This very local 

 species has been given as a native of our district 

 in all recent works on British Lepidoptera 

 [Stainton's ''Manual,'^ Newman's "British 

 Moths,''' &c.,] but has not, I think, ever been 

 taken in England out of Cambridgeshire. 

 Many years ago Mr. G. Harding captured in a 

 meadow {where he has since found C.fluviata) a 

 worn specimen which he forwarded to Mr. 

 Doubleday, who returned it to him as *"' probably 

 2)olygramm.ata.'' As C.fluviataw^si\ien\iT\knovjn 

 as British, I have little doubt Mr. Harding's 

 capture should have been referred to this 

 species, which opinion is shared by Mr. 

 Harding.]

amongst Clematis, and common.
