Croesia Bergmanniana, Linn. 



Croesia ForsJcalenna, Linn. 



Crcesia SoJmiana, Linn. 



Hemerosin BhedicJla, Clerck (Linn.). — According to M. Jourd- 

 lieuille's calendar, the larva feeds in the green berries of the hawthorn. 

 This differs from Wilkinson's account, but seems likely to be correct. 



ChiiiiatojjJiila mixtana, Hlibn. — This has been bred from dark 

 green larvae feeding on Calluna vulgaris by Mr. T. Wilkinson of Scar- 

 borough (see Weekly Entomologist, p. Ill, and Ent. Annual, 1863, 

 p 152j. M. Jourdheuille says: " between shoots of Calluna vul- 

 " garis joined together." 



OjrggrapJia Uterana, Linn. — M. Jourdheuille says : " larva on oak, 

 "pupa between the leaves^ In this case it can hardly feed at all on 

 lichens. The perfect insect, however, is veiy fond of sitting among 

 lichens on oak trunks, from which it can only be disturbed by the 

 breath or hard blows — to see it is simply out of the question. 



Oxygrapha seotana, Gn., AVilk. — Changed by Mr. Doubleday in 

 his List to Treveriann, Hiibn., Tr., but niveana, Eab., also refers to this 

 species, according to Dr. Wocke and Prof. Zeller, and this name must 

 be adopted. Zeller tells me that our form with yellowish colour and 

 a red dot is extremely rare in Germany, while the white and uniform 

 variety is very common. According to M. Jourdheuille, the larva 

 feeds between leaves of birch. 



Oxygraphn scabrano, Fab. — Dr. AVocke sinks this name in favour 

 of parisiana, Gn., but it does not clearly appear why ; certainly sea 

 hrana is long anterior in date, but probably Wocke is not satisfied 

 as to the identity of the Eabrician species. 



OxyqrapJia Boscana, Fab.- — Bv some this is supposed to be a second 

 brood of the i^revious species. 



Peronea Sehnlleriafia, Linn. 



Peronea co7nparana, Hiibn. — Mr. Doubleday in his List sinks this 

 into a variety of 8cliaUeriana, and, according to my experience, the 

 two species (or forms) ai'e nearly always to be found together. Never- 

 theless, Dr. Wocke separates them, and Prof. Zeller confirms him in 

 this, pointing out the white edging before the costal blotch as a good
