NOTES ON LEUCANIA FAVICOLOR, Barrett. 

 By Richard South. 



In the autumn of last year the Rev. A. P. Waller, of 

 "Waldringfield, Woodbridge, Suffolk, very kindly sent for exami- 

 nation a number of Leucanid moths, among which was a series 

 of twenty-five specimens that he had reared from ova deposited 

 by a female favicolor taken in a marsh in the Woodbridge 

 district. The eggs were laid in early July, 1910, and the moths 

 emerged from pupae, April to June, 1911. The majority of these 

 specimens were referable to L. pallens, about nine to favicolor, 

 and the remainder were intermediate in form, but api^roached 

 more closely to pattens than io favicolor. 



From ova obtained from a " palleiis-like female," taken June, 



1907, in the marsh previously referred to, Mr. Waller, in June, 



1908, reared twenty-three specimens of favicolor of the typical 

 form, and seven examples of the yellow form oi favicolor — ab. 

 lutea, Tutt. I must admit that I could not distinguish the 

 female parent from pallens. 



To illustrate the range of variation of L. pallens in his district, 

 Mr. Waller included a series of captured specimens. Among 

 these were a few of the red form, including one good example 

 of ab. ectypa, Hiibn. Another specimen seemed to be much 

 nearer to typical /arico/or than to pallens : indeed, if that speci-
