SUMMARY OF LEPIDOPTERA, 1874 — 1876. 7 



S. ichneumoniformis. — Taken somewhat commonly hy 

 Mr. C. G. Barrett, near Pembroke (E. M. M. xii. 182). 



S. musc(eformis. — Also found near Pembroke, a new- 

 locality, by Mr. Barrett (E. M. M. xiii. 9-2). This species 

 also occurred commonly on rocks at Plymouth this season 

 {in int.). 



S. allantiformis. — This rare moth was taken, July 15th, 

 1876, near tring (Entom. ix. 204). 



ZyrjcBna exulans. — I had the great pleasure of taking this 

 moth, through the kindness of Dr. White, in its only known 

 British habitat, Braemar, in July, 1875. 



Nola centonalis. — Another Kent capture ! Wigan (Entom. 

 vii. 205). 



N. alhulalis. — To Messrs. Earn, Bird, and Porritt, many of 

 us were indebted, in 1874, for examples of the hitherto rare 

 AlbulaUs, when it was turned up in considerable numbers in 

 North Kent (Id. vii. 181). It has since been taken each 

 season, but not in such numbers as in that year (Id. viii. 

 291, et in Hit.). 



Lithosia quadra. — During July, 1875, this species was of 

 most erratic appearance. Of course it was taken in the New 

 Forest, but also at South Shields, Redcar, and, more strange 

 still, at Askham Bog, near York, where it has never previously 

 been seen, although the locality has been systematically 

 worked for fifty years (Id. viii. 85, 196, and 199). 



Deiopeia pulcJiella. — Ought now to be described as a local 

 rather than a rare moth: eleven were taken in 1874, twenty 

 in 1875, and at least eighteen in 1876 (Id. vii. viii. ix. ; 

 E. M. M. xi. xii. xiii. ; and 'Field' for those years, &c.). 



Callimorplia Hera. — Mr. S. Stevens exhibited, at the 

 Entomological Society, a specimen said to have been cap- 

 tured at Dover (Entom. ix. 263). 



CnelJiocampa pityocampa. — T. Batchelor,ofSouthborough, 

 Kent, and W. Peyton, Seal, near Sevenoaks, introduced this 

 species as British (Id. vii. 81). For a time many entomolo- 

 gists believed in their British origin, but I doubt if 1 could 

 now find one who still does so. 



Endromis versicolora. — I captured a fine female at 

 Rannoch, May, 1874. 



Epiune vesperlaria. — Recorded (Entom. viii, 280) as taken 

 near Wallham Cross. This I think must be an error, as have
