io6 porritt: list of Yorkshire lepidoptera. 



Scopula luteal is Haw. Abundant, probably everywhere. 

 I have found the larvae freely at Huddersfield, feeding on 

 the leaves on the lower branches of bramble {Riibus), also 

 on Plantago lanceolata, Ranimcidus, Rumex, and other 

 low plants. 



Scopula olivalis IV. V. Occurs everywhere and is abundant 

 in most places. Least common in some parts of the south 

 West Riding. The larva feeds on stinging nettle and 

 other low plants. 



Scopula prunalis W.V. Also occurs everywhere, and usually 

 in abundance. The larva feeds on Scorodonia, Stachys 

 sylvatica, Latniiun galeobdolon, &c. 



Scopula ferrugalis Hiib. Harrogate (/. Sang) ; Scarborough 

 {T.IF.}. 



Stenopteryx hybridal is H/'/b. I have reared the larvae on 



Polygoniwi avicidare, but the proper food plant is uncertain. 



Askham Bog ( W.P.) ; Flamborough Head {-E.H.) ; 



Richmond (/ &;/^) ; Sheffield {A.D.) ; Thorne Waste 



{W.P); Wakefield {W.T.). 



Scoparia ambigualis Tr. Abundant everywhere. 



Scoparia conspicualis Hodgk. This species was only sepa- 

 rated and named as distinct in 1881 by Mr. Hodgkinson, 

 although that gentleman had been familiar with it at 

 Windermere for some years. Mr. W. Prest had also been 

 taking it for years, and this year (1882) collected it in 

 plenty at Sandburn, York ; and on seeing some of Mr. 

 Prest's specimens I at once recognized it as a species I 

 had taken several years previously at Edlington Wood, 

 near Doncaster, from which locality I had still a few good 

 specimens in my duplicate boxes. 



Scoparia basistrigalis Knaggs. On Bank holiday, August 

 4th, 1879, 1 ^"<^ others found this fine and local species in 

 the greatest i^rofusion in Edlington Wood, near Doncaster.
