Dipterygia scairiuscula (pmastri). — Bricket Wood and Biishey 

 Heath. 



Chareas graminis. — Flying in the daytime on the downs at 

 Aldbury in 1897 and 1899. 



Cytharea matura. 



Mamestra sordida {anceps). — Bushey Heath. 



Riisma tenehrosa. — Abundant in Bi'icket Wood every year.

A. corticea. — Bushey Heath. 



A. cinerea. — Three males were taken at Felden, Boxmoor, at 

 light, by Mr. Albert Pifiard in 1897, and he kindly gave them to 

 me. This is a new record for the County, and a particularly 

 interesting one. 



A. striyida i^porphyrea). — On 18th July, 1898, a specimen of 

 this moth flew into my room to the light. Where it can have 

 come from is a mystery, as the nearest heather must be several 

 miles away. It has been recorded as occurring at Haileybury and 

 Sandridge. 



JSfoctua augur. — Bricket Wood.

All these species of this genus occurred at sugar in 1899, 

 triangulum, stigmatica, hrunnea, and haia for the first time in that 

 year. The first and last were exceedingly abundant, and I took 

 a fair series of stigmatica, though it soon gets worn. Mr. Gibbs has 

 recorded that five specimens of it were taken at Haileybury by 

 Mr. Bowyer in 1893 (Vol. VIII, p. 74), and Mr. Griffith has taken 

 it at Sandridge. It is by no means a common insect. 



TryplMna jantliina. — At Watford at light and in Bricket Wood at 

 sugar, in 1899. 



T. fimbria. — This moth very rarely comes to sugar, but in 1899 

 we took about a dozen in Bricket Wood. They mostly came to the 

 sugar on one particular oak-tree.
