distinct both in shape and habits from that of T. castigata, which latter abounds at 



Mortehoe. T. isogrammaria (HaioorthiataJ, one imago. 



*Eucgmaloge subnotata, two moths. Dr. Riding had found larvro in the neigh- 

 bouring parish of Braunton. 

 Plemyria galiata, several. 



* llydriomena fulvuta, two or three. H. unangulata, rather common. 



*//. alchemillata. H. affinitata, several. //. decolorata, rather common 



among Lychnis diunia. 

 Hois aversata, one. 

 [* Leptomeris imitaria. Mr. Chichester took one.] 

 *Nemoria sirigata (thymiariaj, one. 

 * Pseudopterpna pruinata fcytisaria), two. 

 *Selidosema yemmaria (rhomboidariaj. 

 * Abraxas adu.staf.a, one. 



Deilinia pusaria, two. 

 [^Ourapteryx sambucaria, Mr. Chichester.] 

 Metrocampa margaritaria, Mr. Chichester took one " mothing " close to my 

 house. 



[^Sphinx convolvuli, this was not seen, although looked for.] 



PAPILIONINA. 



Argynnis Aglaia and Vanessa lo, were both decidedly common, but the same 

 could not be said of either /'. urticce, V. Atalanta, or 7'. cardui ; as regards the 

 last, hibernated specimens were commoner than fresli. 



Epinephele Hyperanthus, in one spot quite abundant, far commoner than I 

 had ever seen anywhere before. 



*Lyccena J£gon, a single specimen netted on a bank near the sea ; I have found 

 Ornithopus perpusillus growing not far off, but as this plant is small — as its name 

 implies — and very hard to see, it may well be much commoner than one thinks. 

 I presume the butterfly had hitherto been overlooked among the many L. Icarus 

 and C. Astrarche. 



PYRALIDINA. 



* Homaeosoma sinuella, this obscure and local species was obtained in profusion 

 by sweeping, but it appeared to be confined to a very limited area. 



* Eurhodope advenella, one. 



*Crambus pascuellus, not common. *C. pratellus, not common. * C. 



hortuellus, abundant. C. pinellus (pinetellus), one, *0. perlellus, one. 



*C. inquinateilus, one. 



*Stenia puHctalis, *Ev,rrliypara urticata,* Phlyctoznia crocealis and *Loxostege 

 verticalis (cinctalisj, of each of these Pyrales a single specimen was met with. 



* Pyrausta cingtdata, sweeping produced two specimens of this beautiful insect 

 which would otherwise have probably escaped observation. *P. olivalis, abundant. 



* Scoparia frequentella (phceoleuca, ? mercurella) , until last summer I had only 

 come across worn specimens of this species which I had erroneously attributed to 



iS. murana (noted by Dr. Riding, but which I have not yet turned up). 



*S. dubilalis, pyralella, ingratella, one. S. cembrce, this occurred again but is 



not common.
