bOtJBLE-BROODEt) LfiflDOPTKRA. 130 



say how many broods of this there may have been, but I took it fresh 

 in April, May, Jmie, July, August, September, without any break, 

 and full-fed larvfe on August 11th. K. coronata. — May 13th and July 

 19th. Lohophora viretata was very numerous in May and early June, 

 and a second brood appeared in August (1st, 13th, 1-ith, 18th). New- 

 man and Stainton only give May and June. Tlwra rariata. — In May 

 (5th) and early June, and again in September and October (September 

 i7th, October 4th). This is the normal thing here. Newman says, 

 " during the summer months," and Stainton gives June to September, 

 as if there was only a single brood. I do not appear, however, ever 

 to have taken it in July or August, and I should suppose it is regu- 

 larly double-brooded, in spring and autumn. Stainton seems to 

 imply this when giving the time of appearance of larva as March to 

 May and July. Hi/psipctes trifaseiata. — Newman says : " May, and, 

 according to Guenee, also in July and August." Stainton gives May 

 only. I can confirm Guenee, having taken it last year on July 11th, 

 fresh as bred. Mdanthia ocellata. — Newman gives June ; Stainton, 

 June and July. I got it here in May (6th) and early June, and again 

 in August and September (August 18th, September 6th). I find, on 

 referring, that I ordinarily get it here twice a year, in these months- 

 very rarely in July (July 21st, 1891). M. nuciata. — Earlier than 

 usual — April and May (April 17th, May 5th, and again towards end 

 of June. M. (/aliata. — Newman gives June ; Stainton, June and 

 July. It appeared here in May (11th), and again in August and Sep- 

 tember (August 16th, September 6th). Coremia desii/nata. -In May 

 and August last. 0. feriKi/ata and C. unidentaria. — I am unable 

 to distinguish red C. unideiitaria from G. ferriujata, so call all red 

 specimens "fcrnu/ata,'' and all dark ones " unidentaria." The red 

 occurred in April (20th) and July (14th), the dark in May (2nd) 

 and June (10th), and again in August (8th). Cidaria tnincata. — In 

 May (6th) and June, and again in August (6th) to October (9th). C. 

 silaccata. — In May (6th) and July (9th), and August (6th). Euholia 

 plumharia. — From May (6th) till August (2nd). Mesotype vivfiata. — 

 Newman gives May and June ; Stainton, May to July. On Dawlish 

 Warren, near here, it is always to be got in August, I should suppose 

 a second brood, as they are quite fresh. I got it last year on May 7th, 

 and August 7th and 25th. Anaith plcujiata. — Newman gives the 

 times of appearance correctly as May, and August and September ; but 

 Stainton gives June to August, as if there was only one brood appear- 

 ing in June, July and August, which is very misleading. The latest 

 date I can find in my notes for first brood is June 7th (1890), and 

 the earliest for the second is July 27th (1893). These are the 

 only records I have for June or July. Scoparia iiwrcnrella. — June 

 (12th), and August (6th), and September (8th). Dictyopteryx loeflin- 

 ijiana. — On and off, from June 3rd to September 17th. Tinea sevii/ul- 

 vella. — Stainton only gives June. Here this insect is normally 

 double-brooded, occurring in May and June (the latest entry I have, 

 June 19th, 1895), and in August and September (earliest entry August 

 8th, 1894). It occurred freely from May 5th to 29th, and again in 

 September (7th and 15th). Liracilaria alc/niiiiella. — In May (7th) and 

 August (10th). 



In the above notes I have ventured to correct what appear to me 

 to be inaccuracies in Newman and Stainton. Possibly many of these
