5(> LOCAL LIST OF LEPIDOPTEBA, 



NOCTURNL 



Obaerocampa Celerio. — Two specimens of this rare and beautiful 

 species, taken by Mr. Mason and another, seen over flowers at 

 Clevedon Court Garden*. 



Sesia Bembiciformis.— Clevedon, J. M. No previous record from 

 Somerset. 



Zyg-aena Lonicerae.— Clevedon, J. M. ; Dursley, by myself, 1893. 

 This insect is not easy to distinguish from Z. Trifolii, and speci- 

 mens of the two specries are often found mixed in cabinets. It 

 will, I think, be foxmd that Lonicerse always occur on dry hills ; 

 while Trifolii seems essentially a marsh-loving species — so much 

 so that in the bog and marsh land of South Wales Trifolii is much 

 commoner th«,n the six-spot b-urnett Z, Filipendula. 



Setina IrrorelFa. — This species is inclosed in brackets in Mr. Hudd's 

 list ; but there is no doubt that it occurs in several places in the 

 district. Mr. Phillips took a number of specimens at Dursley 

 some years ago. I took it there in June, 1895, and now I have 

 to record its capture at Bi-ockley on the Somerset side. 



Nudaria Sen ex. — Walton Moor, by Mr. Mason. A species altogether 

 new to the district. 



Tricbiura Crata&gi.— Clevedon, J. M. 



Lasiacampa Quercifolia. — Clevedon, J, M., 1888. First record from 

 Somerset, 



GEOMETRY. 



Ersnomos Fuscarrtarfa. — Clevedon, J. M. The only previous record 

 in Somerset being from Bath. 



MyssJa Hispidaria, — Several specimens bred in 1890 from larva, taken 

 by myself at Brockley, the previous nearest record to Bristol 

 being Taunton. The species is practically new to the district. 



Eupestera Heparata» — Clevedon, J. M. 



Acidalia Ornata. — Clevedon, J. M. 



Corycia Temerata.— Clevedon, J. M. ; Leigh and Brockley, by my- 

 self. No previous record from Somerset. 



Eupithecia Albipunctata^ — Clevedon, J. M. 



Eupithecia Subcilliata. — Clevedon, J. M. Both Mr. Hudd and my- 

 self thought perhaps Mr. Crotch had made a mistake in including 

 this species among those taken at Weston-super-Mare ; but Mr. 

 Mason's captures sets the matter at rest, and serves to sho-w that 

 Mr, Crotch's observations were not at fault. 



LO'bophora SexaJisata. — Walton Moor, J. M. Quite new to the dis- 

 trict,, and a most interesting capture.
