Corrections and Additions to the List of Lepidoptera of Keswick. 



By H. A. BEADLE. 



In the 6th volume of the Entnni. Record (pp. 276 ct seq.), I published a 

 list of the lepidoptera of this district. I now give a supplementary 

 list with some corrections : — 



Papilionides. — Euchloe cardaminea. — Common, no aberrations met 

 with, Colias edusa. — One September 5th, 1900, CoenunywpJia ti/phon. 

 — I found this species in a bog rather high up amongst the hills, it is 

 much yellower than Lancashire and Westmorland specimens and not 

 so strongly marked on the underside. 



Arctiides. — Neiiieophila plantai/inu. — For several seasons I have 

 taken ab. hospita. Larvae are found on the mountains feeding on 

 Potentilla. Spilosoma fulifiinotta. — Common amongst ling on the hills, 

 occasionally in the valley ; all are var. burealis or intermediates, none 

 quite so large or brown as type. I noted an interesting case of 

 assembling last season as I was collecting on the fells. I netted a nice ^ 

 and, while bottling it, another came to exactly the same place, which I 

 also netted ; this aroused my curiosity and, on searching closely, I found 

 a cocoon containing a $ , which, having been unable to force her exit, 

 was stuck fast with her head and part of thorax out; in this position she 

 had apparently given up the attempt to free herself and wished to 

 mate; this was impossible, but, nevertheless, she was "calling," and, 

 for a time, uuiks were attracted and netted as they came. In a short 

 time the males ceased to come, so 1 took up the cocoon, freed the J 

 and moved her to another ling patch, when almost at once males began 

 to come up again in ones and twos ; the experiment of moving was 

 repeated several times with the same result till about 4 p.m., when 

 no more were attracted the ? having ceased "calling." 



Notodontides. — Drymonia cliaonia. — One from dug pupa. D. trima- 

 cnla. — Two netted. 



Moctuides. — TapiitdntoUt fuLca. — Common in boggy places, both
