32 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Peronea logiana (tristana), a few larvte on guelder rose (Viburnum 

 lantana) at Parley. P. aspersana, one female only, Riddlesdown. 



Dictyopteryx holiniana, a series from whitethorn. D. forskaleana, 

 swarming in June, amongst maple (Acer campeatre), on Riddlesdown. 



Argyrotoxa conivayana, generally distributed, and common amongst 

 privet [Ligustrum vulgare). 



Peiithina hetulMana, common amongst birch. P. caprcEana, several 

 bred from shoots of sallow, West Wickham. P. gentiana, larvae common 

 in a chalk-pit at South Croydon, feeding in seed-heads of teasel (Dipsacus 

 sylvestris). 



Spilonota roscBcolana, larvse in cultivated roses in the garden. 



Asp'is iidmanniana, the singular branches formed by the larvae of this 

 species were common on bramble. 



Sericoris cespitana: this, usually a common species on Riddlesdown, 

 was this year scarce in that locality. 



Eriopselafractifasciana, not uncommon on Riddlesdown, end of April; 

 the August brood not so plentiful. 



Cnephasia poUtana, very common on Shirley Heath in April and May, 

 flying in the afternoon sunshine. Several specimens were also observed in 

 August; these were presumably a second brood, as they were considerably 

 smaller than those taken in the spring. 



Sciapliila hybridana, common in all lanes in June, flying in the 

 afternoon. 



Phoxopteryx comptana, common on Riddlesdown in April, and again in 

 August. P. derasana, not rare in hedges near Riddlesdown. P. mitter- 

 pacheriana, common in oak woods, generally. 



Grapholitha rainella, Pldczodes tetraquetrana, and PcBdlsca bilunana, 

 all common amongst birch at West Wickham. P. ratzeburghiana, three 

 specimens were taken from spruce fir in a wood at Addiugton. P. solan- 

 driana, common generally. 



Ephippiphora pflugiana, larvae common generally in stems of thistles. 

 These larvae were of two forms, — one with bright red dorsal area, the 

 other slightly smaller and yellowish white in colour. I concluded these 

 last were the nearly-allied E. cirsiana, but soon found them to be the same 

 species as the others; the fact of their being ichneumoned specimens 

 accounted for difference in size and colour. E./ceiielia, larvae very common 

 in roots of mugwort (Arteinesia vulgaris) ; the imagines bred varied much 

 in colour. E. nigricostana, larvae common locally in stems of hedge 

 woundwort [StacJiys sylvatica). 



Seinasia rujillana, larvae very common about Caterham Junction in 

 seed-heads of wild carrot [Daucus carota). S. spiniana, not common in 

 August, flying in afternoon sunshine. 



Coccyx splendid ulana, a solitary specimen bred from a large number of 

 oak-gulls collected during the winter; this was tlie only lepidopteron that
