32 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Lyndhnrst, by Mr. E. C. Parker, in 1874 (Entom. viii. 

 110). 



Taphiostola Bondii. — Mr. W. H. Tugwell re- discovered 

 this species at Lyme Regis in 1874, where it had been taken 

 eleven j'ears previously by Mr. P. C. Worinald (Enlora. vii. 

 205, 29-2). 



Meliana Jinmmea. — Has, I understand, been taken this 

 season (1876) "in the fens" in lar^e numbers {in lilt.). 



No)iagria hrevilinea. — "Considerable numbers taken in 

 1874 and 1875, but scarce in 187ti" [in lilt.). 



Xylomiges conspicillaris. — Taken by Mr. Packman, May, 

 1875, near Dartford. From eggs deposited by this specimen 

 Mr. Earn reared some fine examples (Enlora. viii. 135). 



Lapliygnia exiiiua. — Taken in 1876 by Mr. H. Rogers, 

 Isle of Wight (Entom. ix. 231). 



Pachelra leiicoplicea. — Mr. W. R. Jeffrey records this 

 species from Ashford, 1876 (E. M. M. xiii. 64). Many others 

 have been sent out of Kent during the last three years; but 

 1 know of no other authentic capture. 



Crymodes exulis. — Mr. N. Cooke, of Liverpool, takes this 

 species sparingly each season in its Inverness-shire locality 

 {in litt.). Mr. Fry's collectors also took several this season 

 in the same neighbourhood [in lilt.). 



Hydrilla paliistris. — I understand this rare species has 

 again been taken in Norfolk this season {in lilt.). 



Agrolis Helvetina. — Introduced into the British list in error. 

 Ti)e examples turn out to be the red variety {castanea, Esp., 

 which is really the type) of Noclua neglecta (Entom. viii 135); 

 therefore this species cannot yet be admitted to our fauna. 



Noclud fidmnidtra. — Noted from Norwich by Mr. I'horn- 

 thwaite, and taken by Mr. Rogers in Isle of Wight, lb76 

 (Eutom. ix. 18, 231). ' 



N. sobrina. — Taken in Perthshire by myself in 1874, 

 and again, sparingly, in l<s75, when 1 bred a couple of 

 dozen. Two taken in 1874 by Mr. J. B. Blackburn, at Ran- 

 noch (Pi. iM. M. xi. 116). Four each by Messrs. Wheeler and 

 Richardson in 1876 (Id. xiii. 140,/?/ in lilt.). 



PacJinohia liyperborea. — Turned up in 1876. A full 

 account of the British history of this moth will be found in 

 the ' Entoujoiogist' (ix. 241): the specific name is there 

 incorrectly spelled ; corrected in same volume, p. 279.
