Acidalia strammata, Tr., var. circellata, Gn. 



3.7.13. This is a most interesting record. Until 

 recently this local Northern variety was 

 thought to be a separate species, but it has 

 been shown to be a variety oi A. strmninata. 

 With the exception of one Yorkshire locality 

 (Skipwith), this variety is practically un- 

 known now ; it has long been extinct in its 

 old Lancashire locality at Chat Moss, but 

 one was taken in Delamere in 1903. Mr. 

 R. S. Edleston recorded it from Bowdon 

 many years ago ; it seems possible that this 

 old record actually refers to Rostherne, 

 which is only 2\ miles from Bowdon. The 

 typical insect is really unknown in this 

 district — only one specimen ever having 

 been taken in Lancashire and Cheshire.
