Art. CV. — Captures near York. By Robert Cook, Esq. 



30, Collier Gate, York, 



August 25, 1842. 

 Dear Sir, 



I have the pleasure to inform you that the present 

 year, up to this time, has been very favourable for Lepicloptera in our 

 part of the kingdom. The commoner species have appeared in great 

 abundance ; others that are comparatively scarce in some years, have 

 appeared in tolerable plenty ; whilst few have been more scarce than 

 usual. 



The following is a list of a few of my captures near York ; should 

 you consider it worth inserting in your periodical, you are quite at 

 liberty to do so. 



Cheimatohia rupicapraria. Plentiful on the 14th of February. 



Brepha notha. March 6th ; on the 29th abundant. 



„ Parthenias. April 5th, This species was very scarce, al- 

 though the weather was more favourable than usual at that season of 

 the year down here. 



On the blossoms of sallows, from the 12th to the 20th of April, I 

 found the following. 



Orthosia stabilis, (and var. pallida) ; Semlophora gothica ; and bad 

 specimens of Gl<Ba Vaccinii, having lived through the winter. These 

 three species were very abundant. 



Orthosia cruda. Nothing near so plentiful as the preceding. 

 „ insiabilis. Not so common as O. cruda. 

 „ sparsa. Scarce ; I captured only three males ancr but 

 one female. 



Glaa ruhricosa. I captured about twenty specimens ; they were in 

 beautiful condition. 



Gl(Ba satellitia. A few very worn specimens. 



Lobophora dentistrigata. Not common. 



Larentia mult istrig aria. A few worn specimens. 



Achatia piniperda. Not scarce. 



Hadena lithorJtiza. A single specimen.
