142 LEPIDOPTERA. 



Acidalia strigilata ; Mr. Mitford captured some 

 specimens of this insect at Folkestone ; they were exhibited 

 at the August meeting of the Entomological Society of 

 London. 



Aspilates sacraria; this insect has again occurred in 

 different localities, and seems determined to maintain its po- 

 sition as a British insect; one specimen occurred near Barn- 

 staple (Int. vi. p. 179), another at Clapham Common (Int. 

 vi. p. 179), a third was taken near Peckham, and shown 

 whilst alive to a gentleman who was deemed excessively 

 incredulous on the occurrence of the insect on British soil. 



Camptogramma gemmaria; public attention having 

 been much devoted to this insect, it seems likely to become 

 quite common. Many Entomologists have successfully 

 reared it from the egg (Int. vii. pp. 27, 43, 52 and 59). 



Phibalapteryx lapidata ; three specimens were taken 

 in Sutherlandshire, by the Messrs. Crotch (Int. vii. p. 36). 



Madopa Salicalis ; a specimen of this insect was taken 

 on the 11th June, in Shooters' Hill Wood (Int. vi. p. 155). 



Schraxkia Turfosalis; this insect has occurred freely 

 near Bagshot in July. 



Exxychia octomaculata ; the occurrence of this insect 

 in the Isle of Skye is recorded by Mr. Chapman (Int. vi. 

 p. 75). 



Acentropus niveus; the occurrence of a specimen near 

 York is recorded by Mr. Birks (Int. vi. p. 171). 



Spilodes sticticalis; has turned up in various lo- 

 calities. 



Spilodes palealis; has also been taken at Heme Bay, 

 by Mr. Butler (Int. vi. p. 180), who obligingly presented 

 me with three specimens, at Folkestone by Mr. Mitford, and 

 near Brighton.
