170 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Leucania extranea. In July, 1891, I took one specimen at stigar 

 on an ash tree. It was immediately identified by myself, and by Mr. 

 Kane afterwards. — L. impudens. Several specimens taken at light; 

 three flying, July 30th, 1892. 



Gorti/na ochracea. One specimen flying, June, 1891. 



Xylophasia sublnstris. Fairly common at sugar. 



Dipterygia scabriuscuia. One specimen in 1891 ; month uncertain, 

 as it is mentioned in a list extending over two months and a half 

 during my absence. It was taken by my gamekeeper. 



Cloantha polyodon. One specimen taken at sugar, July, 1891, on 

 the same ash tree as L. extranea. I did not identify it, but Mr. Kane 

 recognised it immediately, from the sketch I had made of it in my 

 diary. 



Luperina cespitis. Several specimens ; two this year (1893). 



Apamea ophiogramma. One specimen taken here by Mr. W. F. de 

 V. Kane, 1893, at sugar along a river. — A. leucostigma. Not uncom- 

 mon at sugar. 



Minna hicoloria. Not uncommon, but only a few seen at a time. 



Agrotis saucia. One specimen taken at sugar, August, 1893, by 

 Mr. Kane. — A. nigricans. One specimen at sugar, August 2nd, 1892. 

 — A. corticea. Two specimens at sugar, August 2nd, 1892. — A. aga- 

 thina. One specimen, 1892. — A. strigula. Two specimens ; one in 

 moth-trap ; the second flying over heather, June, 1893. — A. prcBcox. 

 Two specimens at sugar, July 29th, 1892. 



Noctua dalilii. I have only taken one specimen, at dusk, on 

 scabious, August, 1893. Mr. Kane, I believe, secured one also near 

 the same place, the same evening. — X. sohrina. Two specimens taken 

 here ; one at sugar, and the other flying near sugar, August, 1892. — 

 iV. castanea. Two examples, September, 1893. 



Triphdna suhsequa, Hb. One specimen, August, 1893, at sugar. 



Amphipyra pyramidea. Very common ; a nuisance at sugar. 



Panulis piniperda. Not uncommon. Mr. Kane and I secured 

 about five and twenty specimens, at sallow, in the spring of 1893. 



Pachnobia rubricosa. Not uncommon. — P. hyperborea. An imago 

 emerged in a breeding-cage in a warm room, March 29th, 1892. The 

 note in my diary reads : "A moth emerged this morning; looks like 

 P. alpina, but seems impossible." The larva was picked up on a bog 

 while shooting. The insect was sent to Mr. Kane, who immediately 

 identified it. On his first visit I took him to the bog in question, 

 where " Enipetrum nigrum'' grows very freely throughout. I searched 

 a good deal this summer, but the food-plant did not — even on the 

 hottest days — show signs of larvfe feeding. 



Tceniocampa opima. Not uncommon. Mr. Kane and I secured 

 over twenty specimens, at sallow, in the spring of 1893 ; several sub- 

 sequently were taken in moth-trap. — T. pojmleti. Two specimens ; 



(1) April 13th, 1893, on a stalk of dead ragwort, in the afternoon ; 



(2) April 19th, 1893, in the moth-trap. — T. gracilis. Not uncommon; 

 several were taken in the moth-trap. — T. munda. Four specimens 

 at sallow, March 19th, 1894. — T. jndverulenta. Not uncommon, but 

 local. 



Orthosia lota. Fairly common. 



Anoliocelis rufina. One specimen, September, 1893. — A. lunosa.
