THE LEPIDOPTERA OF DERBYSHIRE. 23 I 



E.A.R. : E. A. Rhodes (Ashburne and Heanor). 

 J.R.B.M. : J. R. B. Masefield (Dovedale). 

 E.A.C. : E. A. Cockayne (Ashopton, Baslow). 

 The nomenclature adopted is that of R. South's list (1884). 



RHOPALOCERA. 



PAPH.IONIDiE. 



[The Swallow-Tail {Papilio macliaon, L.). Glover mentions 

 this insect in his history of the county (Vol. I., p. 175, 1829), 

 and possibly it may have existed at that time in the marshes 

 of the Trent and Sinfin Moor, but little dependence can be 

 placed on this record. Two were taken near Matlock by 

 Mr. T. Lighten ; but Mr. J. Wolley afterwards wrote to the 

 Zoologist (1st §, p. 944) to explain that he had turned out 

 many hundreds during the springs of 1843 and 1844, chiefly 

 in the Matlock district.] 



PIERID^. 



1. The Black-veined White {Aporia cratagi, L.). The only 

 record of this species is a note by the Rev. F. M. Spilsbury to 

 the effect that a nest of larvae were found by him in his garden 

 at Barrow-on-Trent, feeding on apple. 



2. The large Garden White (Picris brassica, L.). Very 

 common and universally distributed. 



3. The small Garden White {P. rapa, L.). Also very 

 common everywhere. A yellowish variety is said to have 

 occurred occasionally at Repton (W.G.). 



4. The Green-veined White {P. napi, L.). Common and 

 generally distributed. 



5. The Orange-Tip (Euchloc cardamincs, L.). This is a 

 dale-haunting species, and does not, as a rule, occur on high 

 ground. It appears to be also absent from the head waters 

 of the Derwent (not found north of Bamford (E.A.C), and the 

 upper valley of the Dove, but is common enough everywhere 

 else. 



6. Pale-clouded Yellow {Colias Ityalc, L.). A very rare 

 accidental visitor. One was taken many years ago in the Via
