StJMMARY OF HEMIPTEUA, 1874 — 1876. 9 



moth under this name (Entoni. vii. 255), I need scarcely 

 remind my readers that there has been considerable discussion 

 over this species. So far Mr. Gregson seems to have failed 

 to convince the majority of entomologists that this moth is 

 distinct from E. minutata. 



E. suhciliata. — Reported from central Yorkshire by Mr. 

 Porritt (E. M. M. xiii. 108). Also from same locality by 

 Messrs. Prest and Smethurst. 



E. togata. — Sir Thomas Moncrieffe, and his assistant, W. 

 Herd, had the good fortune to discover the habits of the 

 larva of this fine moth in 1875. The Rev. H. Harpur Crewe 

 graphically describes it (Entom. viii. 297). 



E. debiliata. — Has been taken in some numbers this 

 season near Burnt Wood, in Staffordshire, by two Liverpool 

 collectors. 



Melanippe irislata. — The late Mr. Doubleday (Id. viii. 

 141) points out the probability of the nearly allied M. 

 lactuata occurring with this species in Scotland; has any 

 one yet observed it? 



Camplogramma jiuviala. — Is reported from Limerick, 

 which is, I believe, a new station for this species (Id. viii. 89). 



Phibalapteryx lapidata. — I took a fiue series of this 

 species at Rannoch in 1875. I hear that it has also 

 been taken this season by two collectors sent to the same 

 locality by Mr. Fry; by Mr. Fetherstonhaugh in West 

 of Ireland in 1875; by Sir Thomas Moncrieffe in Argyle- 

 shire in 1875 {in lilt.). 



Cidaria reticulata. — I may almost say has been " redis- 

 covered " by Mr. Hodgkinson in its former habitat, 

 Windermere. It is twenty years since the last had been 

 taken (Entom. ix. 207).
