128 LEPIDOPTERA. ] 



Eup. suhciliata. — This insect has again been taken flying; 

 over old maples. I have, however, been unable to procure i 

 eggs. May I again earnestly beg any Entomologist who' 

 meets with it to try and procure me some ? 



Eup. sohrinata. — My friend Mr. Pickard Cambridge meti 

 with two specimens of an insect allied to this species on a! 

 heath at Rannoch, in June, which I have little doubt will| 

 turn out to be a species new to the British lists. i 



Eup. coronaia. — I have taken the larva of this insect 

 during the past season on the flowers of Clematis vitalba,\ 

 Eupatorium cannahinum, Achillea millefolium and Arte-^ 

 misia vulgaris. The three last-named plants are new to me| 

 as pabulum for this larva. The specimens taken upon Arte^^ 

 misia vulgaris were a singular dark-coloured variety. 



Eup. dehiliaia. — This insect was taken in some plenty \m 



July, at Burnt Wood, Staffordshire, but unfortunately noi 



eggs were procured. Dr. Breyer, of Brussels, has bred iti 



from larvae taken on Vaccinium myrtillus. This plant, I be-' 



lieve, abounds in Burnt Wood, and the moths were takeni 



sitting upon it. It is, I am told, a very sluggish insect in itSI 



habits, and easily captured.
