CAPTURES AND FIELD REPORTS. 285 
were in the earliest stages yellowish, and none of the males had 
developed the pruinose condition proper to the sex. The eyes of 
fully matured males are remarkable for their exquisite blue coloration, 
but the eyes of the examples taken this year were, alike in both sexes, 
chestnut-brown. L. sponsa was apparently not yet on the wing. 
The following Agrionids were also collected (June 23rd to July 2nd) :— 
Calopteryx splendens (in fine condition and unusually common, Hart- 
ford); Hrythromma naias (one female, Hartford); Ischnura elegans 
(abundant, Hartford and Ramsey) with its female forms rufescens 
and wnfuscans ; Agrion puella (not common, Hartford and Ramsey) ; 
and A. pulchellum (common, Hartford and Ramsey). A female of 
C. splendens (July 2nd) was exceptionally large, measuring 47 mm. 
in length and 69 mm. in alar expanse.—F. W. Campion; 33, Maude 
Terrace, Walthamstow, October 2nd, 1909. 
LEPIDOPTERA FROM THE ISLE OF ANGLESEY.—I understand that 
very little is known of the Lepidoptera of Anglesey, and hope that 
the following notes on collecting done on the north side of the 
island during the months of April, August, and September may be 
of interest. 
Taking the butterflies first, it may be noted that P. brassice and 
P. napi are common everywhere, while P. rap@ is not so frequently 
found. Specimens of H. cardamines and C. edusa have been seen, 
and some seasons P. cardwi and P. atalanta are common. V. urtic@ 
is always abundant, while V. zo is only occasionally taken. The 
Fritillaries are represented so far by single specimens of A. paphia, 
A. aglaia, and A. adippe. On the moors and heaths S. semele is 
abundant, while P. megera, E. janira, LE. tithonus, and C. pamphilus 
are to be found everywhere. C. phleas, L. astrarche, L. icarus, and 
A. sylvanus are also obtained. The sallows, birches, and alders 
growing on the heaths are very productive of larve, the following 
being found in greater or lesser abundance: S. populz, S. ocellatus, 
C. furcula, D. vinula, P. dicteoides, N. ziczac, N. dromedarius, 
LL. camelina, N. cucullatella, A. leporina, S. libatrizx, and A. betularia 
(no example of var. dowbledayaria has yet been obtained); also 
M. rubi, M. pisi, and A. myrtilli on the heather; D. capsincola 
feeding on the seed-heads of Lychnis; C. glaucata, B. bimaculata 
(rare), and B. temerata (common), on hawthorn. (It may here be 
mentioned that a curious variety of L. camelina emerged on March 
29th, 1908, the right wings being of a pale buff colour, while those 
on the left are the typical reddish brown.) On hazel the larve of 
P. bucephala are found in large numbers, while those of D. coryli, on 
the same tree, are of rare occurrence. Larve of D. pudibunda, 
P. similis, M. neustria, A. pst, and A. rwmicis have also been 
obtained. In the spring the sallow catkins are a great attraction to 
P. rubricosa, T. gothica, T. stabilis, T. incerta, T. pulverulenta, 
7’. munda (not very common), 7’. gracilis, X. areola (a curious chalky- 
white form), together with O. vaccinit, E. satellitia, X. socia (one 
specimen), C. vetusta, and C. exoleta. At the same time of year 
searching low plants at night produces larve of N. triangulum, 
N. baia, N. primule, N. rubi, N. xanthographa, T. comes, T. pronuba, 
T’. fimbria, E. lichenea (feeding on stonecrop on the sand-hills), and
