190 lEPIDOPTEEA OBSERVED IN AVEST HERTS, 



Cucullia verhasci. — Bushey Heath. 



C. chamomiles — On 24th April, 1898, I found a specimen at rest 

 on the railings of Cassiobury Park. This is the fourth recorded for 

 the County. 



Gonoptera Uhatrix. — Bricket Wood and Bushey Heath. 



Hdbrostola tripartita. — Bushey Heath. 



E. triplasia. — Watford. 



Plusia chrysitis. — Bushey Heath and Watford. 



P. iota. — Watford, at light, 1897, and Bushey Heath. 



P. moneta. — One at light, 1899, Bushey Heath. This is an 

 interesting capture, showing that the species is establishing itself 

 in this neighbourhood. 



Euclidia mi. — Bricket Wood and Tring. 



Catocala nupta. — Watford and Bricket Wood. Less common 

 than usual in 1899. 



There is a curious lapsus calami in Mr. Spencer's paper on the 

 Lepidoptera observed in the neighbourhood of Watford in 1896, 

 which I should like to take this opportunity to correct (Vol. IX, 

 p. 238). Cymatopliora flavicornis { = or) should be AsphaUa 

 flavicornis. C. or we have taken at Bricket Wood, as I have 

 noted above ; the larvse which Mr. Spencer found there were that of 

 AsphaUa flavicornis^ but I have never succeeded in finding the moth 

 at Bricket, though I have often searched for it. I have found it in 

 each of the last four years on Stanmore Common. 



Geometry. 



We have not worked so much at the Geometers, but the 

 following which have occurred may be worth noting. 



Angerona prunaria. — Bricket Wood. 



PericaUia syringaria. — Bushey Heath. 



Eugonia alinaria {tiliaria). — Watford, at light. 



PJ. fuscantaria. — Watford, at light. 



Himera pennaria. — Watford, at light. 



Tephrosia luridata (extersaria). — Bricket Wood. I usually 

 take three or four specimens every year. It is not a generally 

 common insect. 



Geometra papillionaria. — Bricket Wood. Several seen, though 

 we did not capture any.
