292 THE entomologist's REcoao. 



Bodo and Harstad), a particularly li(ica facics on the underside. 

 (4). Six male specimens from Harstad, captured on July 31st. These 

 arc just a trifle smaller than the Bodo specimens, but still of the 

 average size of typical Alpine eunjole. The ground colour is duller than 

 the preceding ; the fulvous bands broad, and the spots in that of the 

 fore-wing, althougli not reduced in number, perfectly blind. On the 

 hind-wing one (in four specimens! or two (in two specimens) of the 

 spots only are ocellated. The underside of the fore-Avings with a broad 

 fulvous band. The underside of the liind-wings with distinct costal 

 and central traces of the white band, and the ocellatod spots are (as in 

 the Bodo, Horre and Odde specimens) ringed with fulvous. On the 

 uppersides these are much nearer eunjale than typical luiea. [N.B. — 

 Staudinger gives E. lii/ea ab. adytc, Hb., as a Lapland form. I find 

 on reference to Hiibner's figures (759-760), that ailjitr is a form of 

 enri/alc, with no trace of the white band on the underside of the hind- 

 wing. None of Dr. Chapman's captures belong to this form. 

 Staudinger diagnoses Tengstrom's cunjale var. euryaloides, from 

 " Finland," as " occllis subnullis," and this might be stretched to 

 include the Harstad specimens, which have unocellated spots on the 

 fore-wings. The Harstad specimens, however, are identical with some 

 Bodi) specimens, and some of the latter are inseparable from the Odde 

 and Horre (Naes) specimens, which are undoubted lii/ea.] . 



NocTuiDES. — Pharetra rumicis.— Three pupje from larvfe found at 

 Yossevangen. Asphalia Jiavicornis. — One pupa from larva found at 

 Elvenaes. Characas (jrcuninis. — One red-brown male, with yelloAV 

 stigmata and pale blotch beneath the reniform = ab. tricuapix, Esp. ; 

 another male specimen is of an unicolorous dirty-grey, with indistinct 

 stigmata, and a paler blotch below the reniform = ab. obsoleta, Tutt. 



Geometrides. - Larvntin caesiata. — One poor specimen of a pale 

 form, with a tendency to have a darker central band to fore-wings 

 (= ? ab. amiulosata, Zett.). Two other specimens, from Elvenaes 

 (August 4th), are pale grey, very feebly marked, but have the central 

 and outer marginal bands of the fore-wings of a darker hue than the 

 ground colour. /.. car^iata was seen, sometimes freely, at each 

 locality, but Avas difficult to catch, and always worn, usually too 

 much so to be of any use. Lan'jttia didi/mata. — An exceptionally pale 

 female sf)ecimen, from Bergen. L. didi/viata males were flying in 

 many localities, but accidents happened to the few specimens cap- 

 tured. Larcntia veapertaria, Schifl". — Two males and two females, 

 in fine condition, captured at Bergen. This species must not be 

 confounded wnth Epionc parallelaria, which British entomologists 

 used to call E. rcspertaria. This species was veiy frequent on the 

 tree trunks, etc., near Bergen. Cidaria popxdata. — One male speci- 

 men, of a very bright yellow form, from Bodo. Two male specimens, 

 from Vadso (August 14th), are very slightly suffused. Another 

 bright specimen was captured on the Horre Pass, and a very fine, 

 dark ab. ??nf.srH<rtM"rt was taken at sea south of Trondhjem. Cidaria 

 imwanata. — Two specimens (one 3 and one 5 ). of dark ground- 

 colour, with the blackish-grey basal area and the blackish-grey 

 central band separated by a narrow, transverse, reddish fascia ; 

 a whitish apical patch, and white antemarginal line ; captured 

 at Naes. ('arsia paludafa. — Two male specimens of the bright 

 form, with well-marked transverse fasciae, and with red patches
