26 A JOURNEY TO FINMARK. •

 The remaining 8 species, though some of them are very local, 

 occur throughout northern and central Europe, but no single 

 species in the south of Europe; these are Acronycta Meny- 

 anthidis, Agrotis conjiua, Charceas Graininis, 31amestra 

 dentina, Hyppa Hectilinea, Tceniorampa Gothica, Anarta 

 Cordigera, and Brephos Parthenias. The genus Anarta 

 is very numerously represented, since we found two-thirds of 

 the 12 known European species. Six of these 8 species also 

 occur in Labrador, and of the 17 Noctuce enumerated by 

 Moschler from Labrador, 10 occur also in Finmark. 



Of the Geometrina we found altogether 35 species in Fin- 

 nmark, 5 only of which are specially northern. One of these 

 5 species, Cidaria Polata, Hb., occurs also in Labrador ; 2, 

 Cidaria Abrasaria, H. S., and Frigidaria, Gu., occur like- 

 wise in Swedish Lapland; where indeed it is probable the 

 other 2 species also occur, viz., two new Eupithecice. Of the 

 remaining 30 species, 3 are only found on the Alps, 26 occur 

 more or less locally throughout northern and central Europe, 

 and 1 species only, Cidaria Fluctuata, appears to range all 

 over Europe, since I found it not uncommonly at Malaga and 

 Cadiz. More than half, -fths of all the species, belong to 

 the genus Cidaria j -i^th or 5 species to the genus Eupithecia, 

 the only two genera which were represented in Iceland. Of 

 the 9 known Icelandic Geometrina, 5 occur in Finmark, 

 likewise 5 of the 11 species which Moschler enumerates 

 from Labrador, a number certainly much too small for that 

 country. 



Zetterstedt, in his " Insecta Lapponica," introduces 61 

 species, Mdiich is likewise much too low a number for the 

 extent of territory comprised by him.
