{Cidaria) verhevata, Sc. — One bred specimen, with rather interesting historj. 

 Dr. Cliapiuau foiaul tlireo larviE together on Canqiauula rutiuuJAfoUa, on which thej 

 fed well. The sjjccies is reputed to feed on Cnniferw, but Dr. Chapman thinks, 

 from the very great frequency of the moth in various localities, that it is a general 

 feeder. 



(Cidaria) alpicolaria, H.-S. — One, in good condition. Tins is by no means a 

 oouanon species, and the present is the first specimen which Dr. Chapman has 

 brought me; it was first described fi'om the Austrian Alps, but i'ontresina is 

 apparently not a new locality for it ; I had two jirevious examples from the same 

 place, among some Geometrids received from lleyne. 



(Cidaria =^) Ochyria s^padicearia, Schifl'. — One <? , rather dark and glossy, re- 

 minding one somewhat, by artificial light, of Epirrhw alternata, Mull. (Mclunippc 

 sociata, Bkh.). 



(Cidaria, ^^) ? Rheumaptera luctuata, Schiff. (lugubrata, 8tgr.). — One fine large 

 example ; it is in perfectly fresh condition, though Frey gives May and June as its 

 period. 



(Cidaria =^) Epirrhuv tristata, L. — One, pretty normal. 



(Cidaria =) Perizoiiut alclicmillatct, L. — Two, differing much in size. 



(C. ;=) P. blandiata, Schiff. (adMeqaatu, likh.). — Five, not variable. 



(C. =) v. viinorata, Tr. — Five, not variable. Smaller and darker than speci- 

 mens I have from Tyrol, Engadine (? at lower altitude), &e., therefore nearer the 

 Scotch form. 



Eupitliecia satyratu, Hb. ? — One peculiar whitish-grey si)ccinien, witii rather 

 pointed wings ; unless it be an aberration of this species I am unable to locate it. 



E. tamarisciata, Fit. — One only. 



E. scriptaria, H.-S. — Three, variable, but agree vorj well with the three which 

 I have from Fusio. I believe this prominent little Ewi>tliccio. is largely alpine in 

 its habitats. 



From Guard a, July 22nil to 31st, there were 24 speciey, embraced 

 in 10 tStaudingeriau geuera. 



Seven of the species, viz., P. flaveolaria, S. sordaria, Vsodos, four species, and 

 C verherata, duplicate species met with at Pontresina, and only one of these calls 

 for special remark : (Gnoplius =) Sciadion sordaria, Thnb. — One specimen only, so 

 utterly different from the var. mendicaria from Pontresina that I did not at first 

 recognise it as the same species. It is a fine, bright, sharply-marked ? , surpassing 

 in colour Zeller's best example, which is from Raibl. 



The rest of the species were : — (*Acidalia ^^) Pijctis trilineaia, Scop, (aureu- 

 iiiria, SchifP.). — One specimen. This pretty little relative of P.Jlaveolaria, Hb., 

 comes so near it in build, &c., that Dr. Chapman took it to be a striking var. thereof, 

 with strongly expressed ti-ansvei'se lines. 1 know nothing of the early stages of 

 cither species, but I am not aware of any grounds for challenging their specific right. 



(*AcidaMa -=) ? Emmilti^ pwrochraria, F. R. — Two specimens. 



(*Acidalia -^) Ptychopoda uwrnata, Haw. — One specimen. 



(*Acidalia ■^) Leptorneris incanata, L. — One example. 



(Qnophos =) Sciadion ohfuscaria, Hb. — Five <?, three $ , large and somewhat 

 variable, about the same range of variation as in a Perth series, but on the average 

 larger in size. On the whole nearer the dark var. canaria than the type.
