12 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Miana strigilis. One ordinary and one with a decided pinkish hue 

 31. hicoloria (Juruncula), fairly common. 



Caradrina quadripunctata (cubicularis), 



Agrotis puta. A stiff ma, scavce. A. segetuw. A. saiicia, fonr only 

 A. lunigera. A. exclamationis, not common. A. tritici, not common. 



Noctua trianguhwi (1). X. xcuithograplia ; all the specimens taker 

 were of a reddish shade. 



TriphcEua pronuba, and its var. innuba, equally common. T. conws 

 not particularly common ; all those taken were of the ordinary clay- 

 coloured type, several of them having the transverse lines dark browr 

 and well defined. The legend that specimens closely approaching var. 

 curtisii were taken here therefore still remains unconfirmed. 



Amphipyra tragopogonis, very common. 



Mania maura (1). 



Xanthia fulvago {cerago) (1). 



Diunthoicia nana {conspersa), from seed-heads of Silene collected in 

 1891 an interesting series was bred, the prevailing characteristic being 

 the extension of the white markings of the central area of the foi'c 

 wings towards the inner margin, the extreme examples being distinctly 

 of the " compta " type. 1). capsincula, one bred with the above. 



Fldogophura nieticulosa, very common. 



Uadena trifolii (chenopodii), very common. H. oleracca, all the 

 specimens were of a mottled reddish form. 



I'lusia gamma, generally common, but not met with in 1893 until 

 the middle of July, when it suddenly became abundant. 



Uropterga- savibiicaria, fairly common. 



Gnophos obscuraria (1). 



Hemithea strigata (thgmiarui), fairly common. 



Acidalia bisetata. A. scutulata, not common. A, margincpunctota 

 {promutata), ordinary grey form. A. imitaria, not common. 



Abraxas gwssidariata. 



Einmelesia decolurata, fairly common. 



Eupithecia pum'data. E. cuwnata (1) ; and two other worn examples 

 probably representing E. satyrata and E. absuithiata. 



Melanthia bicoloiata (nibiginata) (6), rather large, costal patch 

 inclined to form broad median fascia as in var. plumbata. 



Coreiiiia unidentaiia, very few seen. 



Camptogramiiia bilineata, very common. The specimens taken have 

 a general tendency to a darkening of the ground colour, and dark 

 transverse lines and a widening of the white lines, giving the insect a 

 very bright appearance. 



Cidariq truncata (nissata), a few worn examples were taken, 

 apparently of a somewhat dusky form. 



Endotricha Jiammealis. 



Sphaleroptera ictericana (1), and Sciaphlla conspersana (6), bred from 

 seed-heads of Silene in 1891. 



Lewisham, November, 1893.
