THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 221 



Boarmia peifumavia. Very abundant in gardens. I feel 

 convinced that ivy is not the only food of this insect. 



Ephyra punctaria and E. pendularia. Bred a beautiful 

 series of each, from larva3 obtained by beating in Sherwood 

 Forest the previous autumn. 



Scodiona belgiaria. Common on the Greetland Moors. I 

 obtained a good number of eggs. 



Hybernia aurantiaiia. Clare Hill. 



Eupithecia pulchellata. Larva? on foxglove at Woodsome. 



E. iraxinata. Larvae rather freely by beating ash at 

 Grimescar. 



E. nanata. Larvae in abundance by sweeping the heather 

 at Crosland Moor. 



E, subnotata and E. vulgata. Li the imago slate, the latter 

 very commonly. 



E. exiguata. This insect was produced from a larva ob- 

 tained by beating in Sherwood Forest, the previous autumn. 



Melanthia ocellata. At Linthwaite, not uncommon. 



Melanippe galiata. Connnon at Grimescar. 



Coremia ferrugala. At Southpoit, in May. 



Cidaria russata. Bred. 



C. populata. In a fir-wood at Norland this species oc- 

 curred in profusion ; it was also common at Linthwaite. 



Pelurga comitata. Clare Hill. 



Acronycta Fsi. In September a specimen, which had 

 only been a few weeks in the pupa, appeared in one of my 

 breeding-boxes. 



A. Rumicis. In the larva state. This insect was formerly 

 very abundant, even on the road-sides; now it is com- 

 paratively seldom seen. 



Folia flavociucta. The larvae of this species were not un- 

 common on everlasting peas in a garden at Clare Hill. 



Aplecta nebulosa. A larva beaten from birch in Sherwood 

 Forest, the previous autumn, produced this insect. 



Anarta Myrtilli. Very common on the Greetland Moors, 

 flying in the daytime. I swept the larvae in numbers from 

 heather in autumn. 



Mania maura. Clare Hill. — G. T. Porritt ; Clare Hill, 

 Huddersjicld, December 3, 1868.
