Vanessa antiopa. — This species being only a migratory one, it 

 is not to be expected that it will occur except on excep- 

 tional occasions. It has been recorded as having occurred 

 at Middlesbrough, Saltburn, and Roxby Moor, the latter 

 about 1875, by the late Captain Turton. 



I should be glad to have particulars of any records of 

 this species having occurred in the Cleveland district. 



Imago will come to sugar during day-time. 



Pararge megcera. — Great Ayton (W.H.). 

 Larvse feed on grasses. 

 Imago frequent lanes, banks, walls. May and August. 



{Satyrus semele). — This butterfly has not been recorded for 

 Cleveland, but should occur on the sand-hills along the 

 Coast, it occurring abundantly at Scarborough, and also in 

 places along the Durham Coast. 



Imago flies during August. 



Larvae feed on couch grass, etc., on sea-shore sand- 

 hills, etc. 



(Chortohius typlion [ = (:ZawMs].)— This butterfly should certainly 

 occur in Cleveland on the great expanse of moorland that 

 we have. 



Imago frequent grasses in damp places, on moors during 

 July. 



Thecla quercus. — Given as taken at Whitby abundantly 

 (Yorks. list. Porritt). I was present when one was 

 taken by Mr. W. Hewett at Sandsend, on the occasion of 

 the Yorkshire Naturalists' Union visit in September, 1894. 

 Seeing the great quantity of oak woods in the Cleveland 

 district the insect should be taken all over. It flies over 

 the tops of oak and ash in the sunshine, and rests on the 

 leaves at night and in dull weather. 



(Lyaena astrarche) (= agestis). — This insect occurs commonly' 

 on the Durham Coast, and should occur at Saltburn, 

 seeing that the food plant (Helianthemum) occurs there. 



Imago flies June — July.
