234 [Octo>)er, 



those taken in England, the hind-Avings arc brighter yellow, and some 

 of the creani-colonred spots on tlie fore-wings are nearly always con- 

 fluent. 



4220. — A. latrcillei, Godt. A pair of this scarce little " Tiger-moth " was taken 

 on a grassy bank by the side of the railway through the Cork Woods, 

 by Mr. Littledale of Gibraltar, in May, 1911. The female duly 

 deposited her eggs and the resulting larvae were reared until half 

 grown, when they were unfortunately lost through an accident with 

 the box in which they were confined. The pair, which are in good 

 condition, were afterwards handed over to me. This species has been 

 recorded in former lists as A. casta, Esp. 



4238. — Euprepia piulica, Esp. This somewhat " Caja "-like species was fairly 

 common at light in Gibraltar during the month of September, 1911. 



4251. — Coscinia crihnim, L., var. Candida, Cyr. One of the commonest insects 

 at light in Gibraltar in April and May, and again from August to 

 October. Also taken in daytime on the Sierra Carbonera on April 21st, 

 1910. It varies considerably in size. 



4255. — Hipocrita jacohsew, L. Common in some open localities in the Cork 

 Woods in Juno and July. Larger and finer than English specimens. 



4257. — Deiopeia pulchella, L. I have heard of this insect l)eing abundant near 

 the Cork Woods, and at Algeciras, but have not been fortunate enough 

 to find it in anything like profusion. It was not uncommon at light in 

 Gibraltar during September and October, 1910-11, and among herbage 

 at Algeciras in May, 1912. I secixred .some very fine specimens. 



4:273.— Apaidia mesogona, Godt. One specimen taken at Tangier on September 



22nd, 1910. 

 4301. — Lithosia caniola, Hb. Apparently double-brooded, but scarce. Occurs 



at Gibraltar in May and October. 



ExoT. — Ilema apicalis, Wlk. I took a female example of this bright little 

 exotic " Footman " at Tangier on September 22nd, 1910. Appai-ently 

 the nearest locality from which it has previously been recorded is 

 Sierra Leone. 



4328. — Zijg.vna sarpedon, Hb. Taken by Mr. G. O. Sloper at Granada in June, 

 1910. 



4351. -Z. stcechadis, Bkh. I came \ipon this local species at a marshy place in 

 the Cork Woods on July 1st, 1911, when it was jjast its best condition, 

 but I managed to secure two or three good specimens. 



4359. — Z. lavandulx, Esp. Taken at Granada by G. O. Sloper in June, 1910-11. 



4383. — Z. hilaris, O. One specimen taken at Gibraltar in June, 1910. 



4386. — Z. bxtica, Rbr. This " Burnet " is very abundant in Gibraltar, es- 

 pecially in and near the Alameda Gardens. The first brood was well 

 out on May 10th (1910). The second brood, which emerges in August, 

 is smaller and paler. I have taken specimens in good condition as 

 late as November.
