190 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



The figures of Lirata luteogaster, Cameron {striatissimiis), in 

 the Biologia Central!- Americana, Hym. i. pi. v. figs. 16, 16 a, 

 are slightly misleading. The basal portion of the antennae is 

 yellowish, in some examples a bright yellow. Although I have 

 not seen a specimen of Uromelia striata, Perty, I should think it 

 probable that the apex of the scutellary projection is notched or 

 divided. If so, it -will in all probability be identical with Tkora- 

 cantha aculeata (Jiabellata), Westwood. 



Oxford, 1894.

(Concluded from p. 171.) 



Euclidia glyphica. Common . 



Epioiie pamdellaria. Two specimens, bred, June, 1892. — A. apici- 

 aria. Several specimens taken by Mr. Kane, at sugar and flying, 

 July, 1893. 



Venitia macularia. Several specimens taken round apple trees in 

 the garden. 



Awjerona pranaria. Common. I have bred many from larva? 

 found on bramble. Pale varieties as common as the typical form. 



Ellopia prompiaria. I have only two good specimens, but have 

 netted several very worn examples in August. 



Eurymene dolobraria. Fairly common ; larvae very common, except 

 in 1893. 1 took about a dozen imagines in moth-trap, May, 1893. 



Perkuliia syriiKjaria. Two specimens : (1) July, 1891 ; (2) June, 

 1893. 



Selenia hmaria. Two, April, 1891, at light. — S. tetralunaria. 

 Several specimens, at diflerent times from 189U-1893. 



Euyonia fuscantaria. Fairly common. — E. eromria. Four speci- 

 mens. — E. qiieicinana. Not uncommon. 



Nyssia zonaria. A female having emerged in my breeding-cage, 

 August 19th, 1891, I took her in a box where the larva had been 

 found. On returning within an hour I found a male adhering to the 

 box ; delighted at my capture I prepared them for my cabinet, never 

 thinking even of breeding from them. 



Biston hirtaria. Two specimens, on the window of a staircase, 

 attracted by a lamp within ; one almost totally destroyed by burning 

 and oil. 



Amphidasys strataria. Fairly common, on windows and in moth- 

 trap. — A, betularia. Common,

 able form here, April 7th, 1893.
