2()0 [September, 



2380. — A. luctnosa, Esp. Taken at Algeciras in May (1911), and at Tangier in 

 September (1911). 



2394. — Thalpocharcs (Eublemma) velox, HI). Tliree specimens taken at light in 

 Gibraltar from September to November (1910). Apparently rare. 



2396.— r. lacernMria, Hb. Taken at Granada on August 8tli, J 910. This 

 species is common, I understand, in some parts of Spain. 



2428. — T. ostrina, Hb. I foimd this insect at Granada, Algeciras, Gibraltar, 

 and Cork Woods, from May to October, but not commonly. Besides 

 the type form, the abs. carthcimi, U.S., and mstivalis, Gn., also occur. 



2429. — T. parva, Hb. Beaten out of old thistles in July and August at 

 Gibraltar. Fairly common. 



2431. — T. paula, Hb. Taken at the waterfalls near Algeciras on July 16th, 

 1910. Not common. 



2437.— T. pura, Hb. Taken at Gibraltar in June and August (1911). Not 

 common. 



2557. — Plusia chalcites, Esp. Stray larva' of this species were found in the 

 summer of 1911, on plants growing in pots placed on the verandah of 

 my house at Gibraltar. These duly pupated and produced imagines 

 from Augu.st 11th (1911) to April 3rd (1912). 



2562. — P. gamma, L. Specimens met with throughout the year in the greater 

 part of the district, but not generally abundant. On one occasion 

 (May 20th, 1911), however, I saw it in great profusion in an open 

 locality to the west of Algeciras. 



2571. — P. ni, Hb. One specimen taken at Gibraltar on April 13th, 1912. 



2583. — Metoptria monogramma, Hb. I foimd this species very common at the 

 back (East) of the Rock of Gibraltar, on a path high vnp, where its 

 food-plant, Psoralea bituminosa, L., is plentiful. April and May. 

 Although it flies by day it is not always easy to capture, owing to its 

 habit of darting over the cliff, on the edge of which the path is 

 situated. It occasionally comes to light, and I have taken it in the 

 Cork Woods. 



2644. — Grammodes algira, L. This strikingly marked and conspicuous moth, 

 although scarce in the region, is widely distributed. It is easily dis- 

 turbed from undergrowth by day and will come to sugar and light. In 

 the year 1911 I took it in the Cork Woods by day on May 23rd, and at 

 sugar on August 16th ; on August 19th I also took it at sugar in Gib- 

 raltar. On September 12th two examples were kicked up at Cape 

 Spartel (Marocco) but lost under boulders, after a long chase. The 

 next day I took a fine specimen in the ante-i'oom of my hotel at 

 Tangier, and on September 23rd my last specimen was taken at light 

 in my liouse at Gibraltar. 



2670. — Catocala elocata, Esp. One specimen at sugar on September 29th, 1910. 

 Gibraltar.
