According to Barrett {British Lepidoptera^ IV., p. 335), the 

 three North Wales specimens " were raked from overhanging 

 edges of sandhills."

^' Hydrcecia crinanensis^ Burrows. Larger than //. nicti- 

 tans. F.-w. slightly pointed at the apex, bright red- 

 brown, longitudinal and transverse lines very distinct, 

 fringes concolorous. Orbicular stigma, lighter than

 " Type specimen taken by Mr. A. W. Bacot at Crinan 

 Canal, September, 1899." 

 The above is extracted from an instructive paper by the 

 Rev. C. R. N. Burrows, entitled, " On the nictitafis group of 

 the genus Hydra;cia, Gn.," published in the Transactions of 

 the Entomological Society^ 191 1, pp. 738-749, plates li.-lviii. 

 In this paper specific rank is also claimed for lucens, Frr., 

 and paludis^ Tutt, both of which have been considered as 

 merely forms of H. nictitans^ L. 



H. crinanensis has been recorded from Inveran, Crinan 

 Canal, Aberfeldy, and Liddelbank, in Scotland ; from Lough 

 Foyle and Enniskillen, in Ireland; and from Bolton and 

 Burnley, in England. 



Page 298. Nonagria neurica.— In 1907, when the first 

 edition of this volume was published, the fact of A^ neurica 

 being a British species was not truly ascertained. In the 

 following year, however, some specimens of Nonagria^ which 

 were not identical with A^. dissoluta, Txt\\.. = arundineata, 

 Schmidt, were named edelsteni, Tutt.
