LIST OF 

 YOEKSHIEE LEPIDOrTERA. 



PREFACE TO SECOND EDITION. 



As twenty years have elapsed since the publication of 

 the " List of Yorkshire Lepidoptera," it seems desirable 

 that a Supplement to that List should now be published. 

 Such Supplement, it appears to me, should consist of 

 (1) a list with the necessary particulars of the additional 

 species ; (II) a list of the additional localities of the hitherto 

 known but more or less local species ; (III) remarks on that 

 local variation in which so much interest has, from its 

 extraordinary character, been taken by our students of the 

 Lepidoptera during- the past fifteen years or more. 



That our county had been well worked is proved by the 

 fact that the twenty years have only added fifty-three species 

 to the former list, including- one, Scoparia higratalis, which 

 is now, with good reason, only regarded as a variety of the 

 common S. pyralalis ; and another, Erastria fuscula, which 

 I can only as yet regard as a very doubtful Yorkshire species. 



For obvious reasons the same arrangement, nomenclature, 

 and abbreviations are adopted as in the former list. 



The new species then, denoted by a * in the Supplement 

 List, stand as follows : — 



Sphinx pinastri, 

 Ennomos autumnaria, 

 Boletobia fuliginaria, 

 Fidonia pinetaria, 

 Eupithecia isogrammata, 

 Thera juniperata,
