ENTOMOLOGICAL NOTES, CAPTURES, &c. 



Lepidoptera near Bromley, 1883. — Mr. Watchurst's notes 

 (Entom. vol. vii. p. 278) remind me of my own captures at light, 

 at Lower Camden, between Chisleliurst and Bromley, in 1883. I 

 have already given a short list of some of the species taken up to 

 August 15th (Entom. xvi. 233) ; an account of those taken after 

 that date will perhaps prove interesting : — August 16th, a moon- 

 light night, only Plusia gamma appeared. August 17th-27tli, 

 Anaitis plagiata, Lophopteryx camelina, &c. August 28th, the 

 following appeared for the first time : Noctua pilecta, Triphcsna 

 comes (orbona), Luperina testacea, Noctua riihi, Cidaria silaceata, 

 Melanthia ocellata. With regard to the last, Newman merely 

 states that it appears in June ; is it usual to have a second brood ? 

 August 2Qth, Eugonia alniaria{tiUaria) a,nd Cidaria testata appeared 

 for the first time, August 30th, Rumia luteolata {cratcegata), first 

 appearance ; took another M. ocellata. August 31st, first appear- 

 ance of Eupithecia oblongata (centaureata) and Charaas graminis ; 

 got one of each. The following were also taken at light, at 

 Chisleliurst, between July 2Gth and August 31st, but I have no 

 notes of the exact dates: — Acidalia bisetata, A. dimidiata (scutu- 

 lata), A. straminata, Eupithecia assimilata, E. linariata, Leucania 

 conigera, L. impura, Hydrcecia micacea, Miana arcuosa, Cara- 

 drina taraxaci (blanda), and a single sj)ecimen of Noctua trian- 

 gulum. I also obtained a number of Micros, but these I have 

 not yet had time to work out. On July 13th the following came 

 to light at Chisleliurst : — Porthesia similis [aurijiua), Hadena 

 oleracea, Boarmia gemtnaria (rhomboidaria), Leucania lithargyria, 

 (two — one green and one brown one), Hemithea strigata, Cara- 

 drina taraxaci, Plusia chrysitis, Noctua augur, Nomophila noctuella 

 (Itybridalis), and a few others. — T. D. A. Cockerell ; 51, Wood- 

 stock Koad, Bedford Park, W., December 8, 1884.
