194 PORRITT : LIST OF YORKSHIRE LEPIDOPTERA. 



Argynnis euphrosyne Z. Common [at Levisham in 1895 

 (V.N.U.). 



Argynnis selene J^ab. Castle Howard (/. Haivkins); 

 Ingleby Greenhow {F.E.) ; Strensall, York, abundant 

 in 1902 {F. Efusley). 



Melitaea artemis Fab. " Larv^ formerly common on 

 Rawdon Common, Towthorpe, near York " {G.J.). 



Vanessa C-album L. Helmsley {A. A.). 



Vanessa UPticae L. Apparently becoming much more 

 common in the South West Riding {G.T.P. and B.M.). 

 The late Mr. G. C. Dennis bred specimens of a peculiar 

 smoky form from York larvae in 1895, possibly the same 

 form which Mr. S. L. Mosley recorded from Bradford. 

 (See previous List, p. 10). 



Vanessa polychloPOS Z. Helmsley; " two captured and 

 others seen in 1901 " [A. A.). 



Vanessa antiopa Z. Four specimens are recorded since 

 the previous list ; one at Huddersfield on October 31st, 

 1899, by Master Arthur Clive Crosland; one at Mid- 

 dlesbrough {R. G. Clayton) ; one at Beedale, near 

 Scarborough, August 9th, 1897, and one on Oliver's 

 Mount, Scarborough, September loth, 1899 {J.H.R.). 



Arge galathea Z. This species, which, at the time the 

 previous list was written, we believed to be extinct in 

 the county, has evidently occurred at Sledmere for many 

 years. A specimen, which I saw alive, was taken there 

 by Mr. William Hewett, on the Y.N.U.'s Excursion, 

 August 3rd, 1891, and the same day the Rev. E. Maule 

 Cole, M.A., showed me a series taken on the same spot 

 many years previously. At the Annual Meeting of the 

 Y.N.U. at Hull, on December loth, 1902, Mr. Reginald 

 H. Barker exhibited a beautiful series taken in the same 

 district in 1902. Mr. Barker has also recorded a speci- 



Trans. Y.N.U. Series D, Vol. a. Dec. 1903.
