198 [September, 



common at light in Gibraltar diiring the month of November, appear- 

 ing early in the month, and lasting, in good condition, until nearly 

 the end. I have, however, one specimen taken on June 9th (1911), 

 and one dark specimen taken on Decenibpr ]5th (1911). It is recorded 

 in former lists as Orrhodia erythrocephala, W.V., which it greatly 

 resembles. 



1435. — Glottula pancratii, Cyr. One specimen taken at light in Gibraltar on 

 October 2nd, 1910. I had not the good fortune to meet with the 

 larva, although I imdcrstand it is very common on the coast sand- 

 hills. 



1477. — Mamestra trifolii, Roth. One fine specimen taken in Gibraltar on 

 August 15th, 1911. 



1513. — M. chrysozona {dysodea, W.V.), Bkh. Taken on tree-trunks in Gibraltar 

 in April and May, also in Avxgust. Not common. 



1514. — M. Serena, F. Gibraltar, on tree-trunks in May. Darker than British 

 specimens. Rather scarce. 



1553. — Dianthcecia carpophaga, Bkh., vax-. capsophila, Dup. One fine specimen 

 taken in Gibraltar on April 25th, 1912. 



1587. — Bryophila receptricula, Hb. Taken at light in Gibraltar. Middle of 

 September (1911). Apparently rare. 



1588. — B. ravida, Hb. Gibraltar. August and September. Not uncommon at 

 light. 



1592. — B. algx, F.S.— Apparently rare. One taken at Gibraltar, September 

 24th, 1910. 



1599. — B. ymiralis, Forst. Brightly marked examples of this type form taken at 

 rest on tree-trunks and walls in Gibraltar during the months of 

 Aiigust and September. The var. par, Hiibn., and intermediate forms 

 between this and the type were found in the same positions during 

 July and Augvist. Also taken at sugar and light. A not uncommon 

 species. 



1782. — Antitype (Polia) duhia, Dup. Taken at light in Gibraltar from Septem- 

 ber to November. Not uncommon. 



1823. — Dryohota saportse, Diip. Common at Gibraltar in October and Novem- 

 ber. Hibernated specimens met with in April. 



1867. — Brotolomia meticulosa, L. I have met with only two examples of this 

 connnon British species. One t.aken on cvirtains in house, October 

 11th, 1910 ; the other bred from a solitary larva picked up in my 

 "patio," which emerged on March 5th, 1911. 



1870. — Mania maura, L. One fine fresh example of this species netted in the 

 day time as it flew from the edge of a shallow stream just behind 

 Almoraima Station, in the Cork Woods. June 16th, 1912. 



1925. - Sesamia nonagrioides, Lef. This Leuca7iia-like species I found very scarce 

 in Gibraltar at light in October (1910). I undei-stand it is a common 

 species in Algeria.
