FURTHER NOTES ON LEPIDOPTERA OBSERVED AT MORTEHOE, 



NORTH DEVON. 



BY G. B. LONGSTAFF, M.D., F.E.C.P. 

 [_See Ent. Mo. Mag., 2nd Series, Vol. xiii, p. 19.] 



The year 1902 has added many species to my list since I got a 

 few days' collecting with Dr. Dixey at the end of March and begin- 

 ning of x\pril, and spent practically the whole of July there. 

 During the latter month I bad the advantage of the co-operation of 

 the Kev. C. Chichester and (for one day) of Mr. E. F. Studd. The 

 strong east winds made visits to the sallows very depressing, and 

 almost fruitless. 1 did not sugar. 



Species previously recorded are only alluded to where the pre- 

 vious account requires modification or amplitication ; those recorded 

 for the first time are marked with an asterisk. 



CARADRININA. 



TyriajacobcecE, single specimens seen on the wing both by Mr. Chichester and 

 myself. 



Arctia villica, larvae in the spring. Mrs. LongstafF saw a moth on the wing 

 in my liay field in July. 



*Polia lithorhiza, two on tree trunks. 



Leucania UttoraJis, Mr. Chichester took several at privet bloom. *L. comma, 



one at flowers of Centranthus ruber. I am under the impression that a specimen 

 occurred also some years ago at the same flowers, but was in very bad condition. 



Fanolis piniperda, a second specimen turned up in the same plantation. 



Melanchra serena, Mr. Chicliester took one at rest. M. dentina, two at 



flowers of Centranthus. 



*Agrotis corticea, at Centranthus flowers. *A. putris,a.t Centranthus flowers. 



*TriphcBna rubricosa, one at sallows. 

 [*Caradrit>a umbra (marginata), Mr. Chichester took two at privet bloom.] 



Hadena lucipara, one at Centranthus. H. literosa, a specimen seen in the 



afternoon on ragwort flowers. 



Metachrostis perla, Mr. Chichester found this commonly on rocks. M. 



muralis (glandiferaj, Mr. Chichester found this with the preceding, but not so 

 commonly. I found one on a wall. 



riusia gamma was more than usually abundant. 



NOTODONTINA. 



*Trichopteryx carpinata {lobulata), two on tree trunks. 



Gymuoscelis pumilala, one imago beaten out of a hedge. 



Tephraclyslis subfulvata, one imago beaten out of a hedge. *T. jasioneata, 



stimulated by Mr. Barrett, I secured a good number of larvce by collecting the 

 heads of Jasione montana, and turning them over daily. They are fairly common 

 at Eiford in Somerset, but a few were found at Mortehoe. The larva is abundantly
