NORTH-COUNTRY SPECIES AND FORMS OF LEPIDOPTERA. Ill 



During the long spells of cloudy weather while waiting for 

 gleams of sun, and on other occasions, I turned my attention to 

 such Geometers as came to hand, and though I have very little 

 acquaintance with this family of moths, my results may be of 

 some interest. 



Acidalia fumata. Two specimens from Witherslack "Und one 

 from Loch Eannoch. 



Ortholitha j^lumharia. Two from the bracken area on the lower 

 slopes round Loch Eannoch. 



Odezia atrata, the Chimney Sweep. Flying in bright sun- 

 light on the slopes at the foot of the Langdale Pikes and near 

 the south shore of Loch Eannoch. 



Anaitis plagiata. Not uncommon at Witherslake, Arnside, 

 and elsewhere. 



Lohophora sexaluata, the Small Seraphim. Although the 

 English name might imply that it does not occur singly, I only 

 took one specimen of this pretty little moth, among the bracken, 

 near the south shore of Loch Eannoch. South says that it 

 " has been recorded from some of the northern counties," so 

 perhaps this is unusually far north for it. 



Cidaria immanata was common on the sheltered sides of rocks 

 from the shores of Loch Eannoch up to 1000 ft., and on the 

 trunks of trees in the Black Wood. One of my specimens is a 

 fine example of the var. marmorata, Haworth, with the central 

 band of the wing white. 



Goremia munitata, the Eed Carpet, was represented by one 

 specimen from rocks on the epiphron ground by the Langdale 

 Pikes. 



Amcehe viridaria, the Green Carpet, occurred on rocks at 

 Esk Hause. My last locality was the trunks of beeches in the 

 New Forest. 



Malenydris salicata, the Striped Twin-spot Carpet, was 

 plentiful among the heather near the top of Beinn a Chuallaich, 

 at about 2500 ft., July 4th. 



Entephrya ccesiata, the Grey Mountain Carpet, occurs with 

 Cidaria immanata. 



Xanthorlioe montanata, the Silver Ground Carpet, rose from 

 the heather on the hill-sides about Loch Eannoch, and is common 

 also round Cambridge. The same may be said of X. galeata and 

 sociata. I took one example at Loch Eannoch of X. tristata (the 

 Small Argent and Sable), and the Yellow Shell (C. hilineata) 

 liew out in crowds from ferns in the gully of the AUt Mohr. 



Of the Boarmiinse, Cabera pusaria, the Common White Wave, 

 occurred at Witherslack and Loch Eannoch. 



Semiothisa litiirata, the Tawny Barred Angle, was found on 

 Meathop Moss on June 25th and 27th. 



Boarmia repandata from the Black Wood of Eannoch. 



Gnophos myrtillata, the Scotch Annulet. I took two of this
