Dianthaecia conspersa JF. V. Very local. 



Scarborough, not uncommon (T.JF.); York (S/an/- 

 ton^s Manual). 



Hecatera serena JV. V. Mr. Dobre'e says it occurs at Bever- 

 ley, but is scarce. We have no other recorded locality. 



Polia chi L. Abundant in the West Riding, and common 

 no doubt everywhere. 



The variety olivacea Stcph. occurs at Bradford 

 (/. W.C.) ; Huddersfield {G.T.F.) ; Richmond {G.P.H.) ; 

 and probably wherever the species occurs in plenty. 



Polia flavocincta L. Widely distributed and common. 



Add (^r:^7:); Askham Bog {W.P) ; Beverley! 

 {N.F.D.); Bradford (/. IV.C); Huddersfield !! {G.T.F.) ; 

 Meanwood near Leeds { W.H.T.) ; Richmond {J. Sang) ; 

 Scarborough 1! {Stainhvis Manual) ; Wakefield ( U\T.). 



The form found at Huddersfield, where the species is 

 abundant, is the dark variety meridionalis Boisd., and 

 the type of the species does not seem to occur at all. No 

 doubt the variety represents the species in the south West 

 Riding generally, but whether it extends to other parts of 

 the county I do not know (See A^atumlist., March, 1881, 

 p. 122). I have a very beautiful variety, almost black, 

 which I took in my garden at sugar, September 17th, 1S79 

 {G.T.F.). 



Dasypolia Tempi! Thunb. Our county has always been 

 considered head-c^uarters for this moth, and by far the 

 majority of cabinets in the country have been supplied with 

 specimens from the south West Riding, in some parts of 

 which it is often very common.
