A year's work in PORTLAND. 67 



rivata, M. montanata, Acidalia suhsericeata, Coremia ferrugata, 

 C. designata and C. unidentaria, Anticlea badiata, Larentia mid- 

 tistrigaria, Hypsipetes sordidata, I obtained but very few speci- 

 mens, but Acidalia bisetata and A. trigeminata were very common. 



Eupithecia pumilata and E. rectangulata occurred very com- 

 monly at blackthorn bloom. E. coronata on apple trees, and E, 

 absynthiata and E. vidgata at light. E. pimpinellata, E. castigata, 

 and E. oblongata were not uncommon. E. isogrammaria was 

 scarce. E. constrictata when once found was fairly plentiful. 

 E. subnotata common. Of Triphosa dubitata and Cidaria 

 prunata I took but two specimens. C. truncata, C.fidvata, and 

 C. dotata were equally scarce. Camptograiwna bilineata, Eubolia 

 limitata, and E. bipunctaria, were of frequent occurrence. Anaitis 

 plagiata occurred but once. 



Cledeobia angustalis, Pyrausta purpuralis, Herbula cespitalis, 

 Scopida olivalis, and S. prunalis, occasionally occurred. Ennychia 

 cingulata was both local and scarce. 



Nomophila noctuella, Scopida ferriigalis, Spilodes verticalis, 

 Stenia punctalis, Pionea forficalis, were generally distributed and 

 common. Eurrhypara urticata occurred but sparingly. Platytes 

 cerussellus, Crambus pi'atellus, C. culmelliis, and C. hortuelliis were 

 a positive pest. Of C. inquinatellus I took but two specimens. 



C. genicideus was fairly numerous. Aphomia sociella, Oncocera 

 ahenella, Ilithyia semirubella, Ephestia eliUella, came to light, as 

 also did Rodophcea marmorea. 



Homoeosoma nebulella produced but one specimen. H. sinuella 

 and H. bincevella were common, but H. nimbella not so much so. 

 Phycis oi'natella was not scarce. Of Euzopliera cinerosella I took 

 but one. Scoparia cembrce and S. ambigualis, occurred freely, but 

 this year S. mercurella and S. phceoleuca and S. angustea were 

 bard to procure. 



Botys asiiialis was not to be found in its usual haunts. 



Tortrix podana, T. ribeana, T. heparana, T. forsterana were all 

 very common. Peronea variegana, P. aspersana, were not very 

 abundant. Teras containinana plentiful. Dictyopteryx holmiana 



D. bergmanniana, D. forskaleana, A. conivayana, Spilonota trlma 

 cidana, Pardia tripuilctana, Aspis udmanniana, Sericoris cespi 

 tana, S. urticana, S. lacunana, Cnephasia musculana, Sciaplula sub 

 jectana, S. virgaureana, and Sphaleroptera ictericana, the same. S. 

 conspersana more rarely met with. Grapholitha trimacidajia, G 

 ncevana, Padisca consequana, Ephippiphora cirsiana, scarce. E 

 brunnichiana, very plentiful wherever coltsfoot occurred. Semasia 

 woeberiana not common, but Catoptria idicetana and C. cana, very 

 plentiful; as also was Synicethis oxyacanthella. 



One specimen only of Eupuecilia maculosana occurred. 

 Catoptria pupillana, Conchylis francillana, and Xanthosetia hamana, 

 were almost as scarce.
