146 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



commonly upon tree trunks, &c.j in June. It is a somewhat 

 local species. 



I have almost completed my task, but before doing so there 

 are several remaining species of the genus which must be shortly 

 considered, but about which little can be said. E. pernotata has 

 been bred once only in England, and then by Mr. Machin, who 

 took the larvae from golden-rod. I am not aware that E. egenaria 

 has ever been bred in this country. E. extensaria has only been 

 taken two or three times near Hull, but if the Artemisia of the 

 neighbourhood was worked it might be possibly found in the 

 larval state. Of E. innotata I know only that larvse are said to 

 occur upon Artemisia at the same time as those of E. succentu- 

 riata. It is possible that some of these three species, excepting 

 perhaps our Russian visitor, may in time disappear from our lists, 

 and the best one can say about them is, that it would be satis- 

 factory if they turned up in greater numbers. 



It must not be thought that there are no more pugs to be 

 found in Britain. Nothing is so likely, for there are several on 

 the Continent, which are common enough there, that might be 

 found in this country. So in conclusion, allow me to express the 

 hope that some of those who may be induced by these remarks 

 to work the genus Eupithecia should find not only all our 

 British species, but even make an addition to our fauna.
