Pentland Hills, by Mr. E. F. Logan, and reared. This locality 

 still continues to furnish it in plenty, and it is found in 

 Clydesdale, in Aberdeenshire, Perthshire, and in great abun- 

 dance in Sutherlandshire. Proljably on all Scottish hills upon 

 which juniper grows. It is also found very locally in the 

 North of England, especially at Grange, North Lancashire, 

 but in England the typical forna is usually replaced by the 

 variety arccuthata, which has been taken in the larva state 

 in Surrey, Wilts, and Bucks, though never in any numbers ; 

 moreover, this form has been found, along with the type, in 

 the Edinburgh district of Fifeshire. A record of the typical 

 form, at Killarney, in the south-west of Ireland, by Mr. E. 

 Birchall, has not since been confirmed. 



Abroad it is found in Switzerland, Northern and Western 

 France, Germany, the North of Italy, Lapland, and Finland. 



(E. egenaria, H.-S. — This species was introduced, and 

 shortly described, in the " Manual," by Mr. Staintou in the 

 year 1859, with the remark : " Has occurred in Wales and in 

 the Isle of Wight," and Mr. H. Doubleday told me in 1874 

 that the original specimen was taken in Wales bj^ Mr. 

 Buxton. Mr. Stainton jjlaced it in the section " having the 

 central spot conspicuous, black," the wings brown and cilia 

 unicolorous, comprising species from E. hcl rrticaria to E. 

 exigiuUa. Beyond this the description hardly made the 

 species clear, and for many years the question from those 

 whose series of Eupithccicc were nearly complete was " What 

 is cgcnarm ? " To this the answers were usually not satis- 

 factory. A specimen taken in Essex by Miss Hutchinson, 

 and afterwards in Dr. Battershell Gill's collection, was referred 

 to this species (or name), but to this I have not acces?i. One 

 placed under this name in the fine collection at the Liverpool 

 Museum is E. innotata. One so placed in another large 

 collection was found to be E. silcii'ifn, a species as yet un- 

 known as British ; and the figure by Standfuss seems to 

 indicate the same species. One or two of the late Z\Ir. Bond's
