LeprpoprEera IN Mippiesrx.—As far as the Macro-Lepi- 
doptera of Middlesex are concerned, I can fully indorse the very 
interesting remarks of Mr. T. D. A. Cockerell in the March 
number of the ‘ Entomologist.’ Having collected for some years in 
the neighbourhood of Chiswick, I have a tolerable acquaintance 
with its entomological fauna. We have here at least 156 species 
of Macro-Lepidoptera, besides a few more which are of doubtful 
occurrence. The Rhopalocera number fifteen species, including 
Vanessa polychloros, Epinephele ianiwa, Lycena icarus, and L. 
argiolus, of which last we have the two broods. ‘The Sphinges 
are 10:—Cherocampa porcellus, C. elpenor, Macroglossa stella- 
tarum, Sesia tipuliformis, S. myoprformis, and five others. Of the 
Bombyces twenty-five species occur, including Arctia villica, 
Hepialus sylvanus, Drepana lacertinaria, D. falcataria, Dicranura 
furcula, D. bifida, and Notodonta dictea. Among the fifty-eight 
Noctuz recorded are the following species:—Bryophila perla, 
Hydrecia micacea, Xylophasia hepatica, Apamea ophiogramma, 
Triphena interjecta, Anchocelis lunosa, Calymnia affinis, Hadena 
trifolii (chenopodit), and Cucullia chamomille. 'The Geometre at 
present only reach a total of forty-eight species, but I am certain 
that others are to be found in the neighbourhood. Ligdia 
adustata, EHupithecia coronata, E. rectangulata, Melanippe rivata, 
M. sociata, M. montanata, Eucosmia certata, Cidaria silaceata, 
C. dotata, Pelurga comitata, all occur in the district. I think I 
have now given a list sufficient to prove that there are still many 
insects to be taken within the metropolitan district—ALFRED 
Sicu ; Chiswick, W., March 22nd, 1886.
