found it among its food-plant, bramble, and is of opinion

(The same difficulty attaches to the pretty Gcomdra moth, 

 Thalcra finilrialis, Scop., of which a specimen was taken 

 by Mr. Charles Capper, sitting upon grass upon Beachy 

 Head, Sussex, on the 7th August, 1903. This beautiful 

 species, which closely resembles Hcmitlica thymiaria, but 

 has pectinated antennae in the male, is widely distributed 

 in the southern half of Europe, and may prove to have a 

 home with us. There is no indication of its having been 

 introduced in any accidental manner, yet it seems also in 

 this case advisable to pause for more information before 

 including the species in the British list.)
