THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 79 



A list of EupUhecice taken in Derby and the neighbour- 

 hood, with Notes. — It may be interesting to some young 

 collectors to know the number of Eupilhecise that 1 have 

 taken in this locality. The following I have taken in the 

 larva state, with the exception of one or two : — 



Venosata. In seeds of Silene inflata, July. 



liinariata. In seeds of Linaria vulgaris, July and August. 



Pulchellata. In flowers of Digitalis purpurea, during July

 8th, at light, and obtained eggs, from which I have bred a 

 good series. 



Subfulvata. On leaves and flowers of Achillea millefolium. 

 September and October. 



Plumbcolata. On flowers of Melampyrum pratense, in 

 Julv and August.
