SUMMARY Ol- LEPIDOPTERA, 1874 — 1876. O 



Pieris Daplidice. — One specimeii, taken by Mr. Young, 

 near Southend, August, 1876 (E. M. M. xiii. 108) ; and one 

 other at Folkestone (Id. xiii. 138). 



Arffi/iinis Niobe. — Recorded as British by Mr. Parry and 

 the uiylhical Mr. Wigan, who were said to have taken a 

 number near Canterbury, in July, 1874 (Entoin. vii. 171) ; 

 the former person again recorded it in 1875 (Id. viii. 183). 

 Mr. Gregson records one as taken at Windermere in 1875 

 (Id. viii. 82) ; this is probably a variety of A. Aclippe, 

 amongst a number of which he took it. This species requires 

 confirmation before admittance into the British fauna. 



A. Dia. — An example was undoubtedly taken at Worcester 

 Park, Surrey, in 1872, as recorded by Mr. W. Arnold Lewis 

 (Id. ix. 69). 1 fear this must be received as only a visitor. 



A. Latlionia. — Five, said to have been taken by Mr. Wigan 

 at Broadstairs, September, 1874 (Id. vii. 233); and ten 

 by Mr. Parry, near Canterbury, August, 1874 (id. vii. 

 289). The above records must be taken with discretion. 

 One by Mr. Butler, at Hastings (Id. ix. 275). These appear 

 to be all recorded during the three years. 



Vanessa Antiopa. — One record only occurs in 1874 

 (Id. vii. 225); seven were recorded in 1875 (Id. viii.); 

 lour in 1876 (Id. ix.). They occurred in the following 

 counties: Hampshire, Gloucester, Surrey, Kent, Essex, 

 Norfolk, Yorkshire, Northumberland, Dumfries, and Antrim. 



Pi/rameis Virginiensis. — JNIr. Bignell reports this inte- 

 resting foreigner i'rom Plymouth (Id. ix. 255). 



Apaiiira Iris. — Larvae of (Id. viii. 160, 182). Imagos 

 twice recorded from Kent, July, 1875; fourteen taken in one 

 instance (Id. viii. 219, 291). Twenty-seven taken in Hunting- 

 donshire, 1876 (Id. ix. 230). 



Erehia Ligea. — Recorded by Mr. W. J, Mercer as taken 

 by himself at Margate (Id. viii. 198). This seems so 

 improbable that it requires confirmation even as a " visitor." 

 What will next come from the county of Kent? 



Lycceiia Acis. — From Cardiff comes the welcome news 

 that this scarce butterfly was taken in 1874, again in 1875, 

 and twelve specimens in 1876: twenty-eight specimens in 

 all (Id. viii. 161, 271, et in lilL). 



Adierontia Alropos. — No example appears in 1874; one 

 only in 1875 (Id. viii. 225), which was taken by a waiter
