forward by me as new (c/. E.M.M. 1902, p. 4), which had 

 previously been known only from Suffolk. 



MiCKOGASTER, Latr. 



1. alvearius, Fabr. — Eight specimens bred from Boarmia 

 repandata, in Devon (Bignell). — I have found their characteristic 

 cocoons, over which the moribund larva seems to "brood," at 

 Ipswich (c/. Entom. 1880, p. 244). 



2. calceatus, Hal. Bred at Eeigate, from Fidonia piniaria, in 

 September, 1899 (Prideaux). 



/ 3. connexus, Nees. — Reared in plenty from two cocoons of 

 Liparis auriflua, at Lichfield, in August, 1900 (Mrs. Eedmayne). 

 — Nine from the same host in the Bristol district (Charbonnier). 

 — Five ex Bombyx nemtria, at Bungay, Suffolk, in August (Glut- 

 ten).— Six from L. auriflua, in November, 1899 (Prideaux) ; pro- 

 bably at Reigate Surrey. 



V 4. tiro, Reinh. — I have captured it by sweeping reeds at Hen- 

 stead, Suffolk, August, 1898. Its hosts have been hitherto un- 

 known, but Dr. Chapman bred one on June 29th, 1899, from a 

 species of Cnephasia at Reigate ; the cocoon is dull, white, solitary, 

 and nearly smooth. 



5. suffolciensis, Mori. — The type (in my collection) is from 

 Nothris verhascella, at Bury St. Edmunds. — Two females ex 

 Nothris verhascella, at Locarno, May 30th, 1903 (Chapman). — 

 The type is a male (female in errore), and the female differs from 

 it only in having the antennae shorter, and the terebra three- 

 quarters the length of the abdomen. I have seen no cocoon. 



6. rugulosus, Nees. — Bred from Hydrocampa nympheata, at 

 Richmond, October 3rd, 1905 ; the strong whitish cocoon is 

 found inside the host's aquatic case, attached to one of its walls 

 (Sich). 



7. subcompletus, Nees. — I bave swept it at Eaton, near Nor- 

 wich, in June ; and found it on flowers of Foenicidum vulgare at 

 Alderton, Suffolk, in September. 



/ 8. sticticus, Ruthe. — Tostock, Suffolk, in July (Tuck).— -Three 



from a nearly circular bundle of white cocoons, enclosed in a 

 rolled nettle-leaf, ex Vanessa atalanta, Reigate, in July, 1899 

 (Prideaux). — I have taken it on Angelica flowers at Barnby Broad, 

 but it has not before been bred. 



V 9. glohatus, Linn. — A common species on flowers of Fceniculum 

 vulgare and Angelica sylvestris from July to October. Bred from 

 Vanessa atalanta at Tring, October, 1899 (Rothschild). — Bred 

 from forced Penthina dimidiana, Medge Hill, Doncaster, 1901 



, (Cassal). 



10. tibialis, Nees. — Very common on flowers of Anthriscus and 

 wild carrot. Two bred h'om Aheideenshire Eiichromia flammeana, 

 in June, 1902 (Ash). — Bred from a continental Depressaria in 

 1904 (Chapman). — Gorebridge, N.B., in June (Evans).
