1901.] 137 



(*Acidalia =) Fyctis fiavcolarin, Hb. — Three examples, normal. 



{*AcidaUa =.) Capnoclathria (Warren, MS.) immoraia, L. — Two ; they are in 

 fine condition, and rather dark specimene, approaching var. tcsselaria, H.-S. 



{*Acidalia =^) Leptomeris fumatay Stph. — Three. 



{Gnophos -=^) Sciadion sordaria, Thnb., var. meiidicaria, H.-S. — Two S , one 9 • 

 This is, I believe, quite a usual variety in Switzerland. 



(G. =) S. ijlaucinaria, Hb. — One S only of this interesting and variable 

 species. 



Psodos coracina, Esp. — One ^ , two ? , tiie latter rather sharply marked, even 

 for this sex, in which of course one expects to find a great difference from the com- 

 paratively unicolorous males. 



Ps. trepidaria, Hb. — Four ^ , one $ , agree with Fusio and Macugnaga forms, 

 which I have also had from Dr. Chapman. 



Ps. alpinata, Sc. (horridaria, Scliiff.). — Twelve only, two being females. 



Ps. qioadrifaria, Sulz. — Seven J , one $ . 



Pygmccna fusca, Thnb. — Seven (J. 



Ematurga atomaria, L. — One ^ , normal form, fairly large. 



(Cleogene =) Crocota lutearia, Fb. — One (S ■ 



Minoa murinata, Sc, var. cineraria, Stgr. — Large, rather dark specimen ; the 

 only other murinata which Dr. Chapman has brought me, namely two examples 

 from Fusio, belong to the same var., but are a great deal smaller (hardly quite as 

 large as our average English form), and not quite so dark. 



{Cidaria =^) Tliera variata, Schiff. — Three <J , interesting dark form, with not 

 much brown tinge, outer margin suffused, subterminal line nearly obliterated ; one 

 of the three particulai'ly dark, yet not at all resembling our Scotch oheliscata, var. 

 obLiterata, White. I am rather inclined to believe that Doubleday was right in 

 holding our British obeliscata to be a species distinct from variata, although my 

 friend iMr. F. N. Pierce, to whom I submitted specimens some time ago, finds no 

 appreciable difference in the (J genitalia. 



{C. =) T. cognata, Thnb. {simulata, Hb.). — Larva on juniper, Heuthal, a valley 

 1200 or 1500 feet above Pontresina. The two specimens bred are larger, and of a 

 rather greyer-brown than the British form, but indistinguishable from that from 

 Gratz. 



(Cidarla =;) ? Aincebe turbata, Hb. — c? and $ , showing considerable diJferences 

 in the fore- wings. 



(Cidaria =^) ? Malenydris salicata, Hb. — Three, about the same form as from 

 Fusio, &c. 



(C. =) ? M. incursata, Hb. — Two ^ , one ? , large, the $ sharply marked, with 

 narrow central fascia having a sharp prong posteriorly. 



(Cidaria =) Xanthorhoe tnontanata, Schiff. — Five, one being the interesting ab. 

 fuscomarginata, Stgr., the others pretty normal. 



[Cidaria =) Olaucopteryx ccesiata, Schiff. — Throe, varying, but not abnormally. 

 I also bred a series from larvae which Dr. Chapman found feeding on rhododendron 

 earlier in the season. 



{Cidaria ==) 0. inculfaria, H.-S. — Two, worn. 



Pre-occupied name.
