PYRALIDES. 107 



A dozen or more were frequently seen on the trunk of a 

 single tree. Since then it has been much scarcer, and 

 this year (1882) I failed to find a single specimen. Mr. 

 W. Prest has also taken it at Bishop's Wood near Selby, 

 and at York. 

 Scoparia cembree Haw. Widely distributed and common. 



The form occurring at Huddersfield is the variety 

 Zelleri Wocke, which still stands in some of our lists 

 as a distinct species. The species used to fly in thousands 

 in two rough fields adjoining my house at Highroyd, 

 Huddersfield, but I believe they were all of this form 

 except an occasional sjiecimen of Dr. F. B. White's dark 

 variety scotica. Whether the specimens taken in the other 

 parts of the county are the typical cemhro' I do not know, 

 but it would be interesting to ascertain how far the varietv 

 extends.
