IN ANDALUSIA MARCH AND APRIL, 1913. 221 



lamps in the hotel I made many additions to my captures. Night 

 work; in this locality would undoubtedly repay the entomologist. The 

 paths are in many places protected by posts and wires, and sugaring 

 would be an easy matter, but I think a sheet and lamp would bring in 

 a richer harvest. Even in the hotel moths swarmed, and, like the 

 vegetation, they gave one strange contrasts for temperate and tropical 

 genera and species. Amongst the commonest were A(/yotis [A.rtjlia) 

 piitris a,nd Cirphis (Leiicanca) e.vtranea ( — iinipinicta), whilst a species 

 C. albicoata near ('. alhijjiincta was equally abundant, and the ever 

 present Sphiu.r arnvnlndi was common. 



Amongst other species the following were taken, for the identifi- 

 cation of which I am greatly indebted to Sir George Hampson and 

 Mr. Prout, but many still remain unnamed.
