44 LEPIDOPTERA. 



" extremely local, being confined to one open spot in Beech 

 Wood, but very common there." In the Zoologist for July 

 last, page 4370, Mr. Harpur Crewe records having bred 

 this species from larvae found on Gentiana campestris in 

 August and September, in company with the larvae of E. 

 piperata. This species is figured by Hiibner, H.-S., and 

 Freyer; it is rather a large species, and might be well placed 

 between E. Callunaria and E. subnotata. 



Eupithecia Pimpinellata, Hiibner, (distinct from 

 Austerata), was bred in 1851 by the Rev. J. S. Henslow, 

 from larvae found in August, 1850, feeding on the flowers 

 of Pimpinella Saxifraga, at Hitcham, Suffolk. (A notice 

 of this appeared in the Zoologist for 1852, page 3358, but 

 the name of the insect was not then ascertained.) 



Acidalia obsoletaria, Rambur ; first enumerated as 

 British in Doubleday's Catalogue, at page 19 ; this species 

 has been taken near Manchester. Mr. Doubleday has a 

 pair he received from Mr. Edleston. 



Acidalia perocharia, Tischer ; first enumerated as 

 British in Doubleday's Catalogue, at page 19. It has oc- 

 curred in considerable plenty on the Essex coast, at South- 

 end and St. Osyth, and is now in most collections. 



Acidalia holosericearia, Parreyss ; first enumerated 

 as British in Doubleday's Catalogue, at page 19. It occurs 

 commonly in the neighbourhood of Bristol; its capture 

 there is recorded by Mr. Sircom in the Zoologist for 1851, 

 at page 3*288 ; it is now in most collections. 



Schrankia turfosalis, Wocke (Ili/penodes humidalis, 

 Doubleday); first recorded as British, and described by 

 Doubleday, in the Zoologist for 1850, App. cv. — " It was 

 captured in the bogs of Ireland, in 1848, by Mr. Weaver, 

 and has been discovered in abundance this season by Messrs. 

 N. Cooke and Greening, of Warrington." In the Zoologist 

 for 1851, Mr. Harrison, of Keswick, writes, at page 3244,
