CLEVELAND LEPIDOPTERA IN 1908. 



By T. Ashton Lofthotjse, f.e.s. 



*Denotes Species recorded in Proceedings for first time. 



During the Spring and Summer of this year I was unable 

 to devote much time to working for Lepidoptera ; on the 

 few times that I tried " Sugar," in July, common moths 

 came to it fairly freely, but, during August and early Sep- 

 tember practically nothing came at all ; towards the end 

 of September and in early October a few Orthosia macilenta 

 were attracted at Kildale. 



RHOPALOCERA Ccenonympha typhon. A few speci- 

 mens of this butterfly occurred at Glaisdale in July ; they 

 are much darker than the Scotch specimens of this butter- 

 fly I have seen, and some of the undersides approach 

 somewhat the forms taken on the Lancashire Mosses ; they 

 seem to be a form in between the Scotch and Lancashire 

 forms. 



BOMBYCES. Hepialus hectus. This moth was flying freely 

 near Battersby on the evening of June 25th, from 8 to 8-30, 

 including males and females, the latter mostly being very 

 dark, and some of the males were nicely marked. 



TORTRICES. *Tortrix podana. Occurs in garden at 

 Linthorpe, Middlesbrough. 



*Tortrix viburnana. On Moors at Glaisdale in July. 



Mixodia schulziana. On Moors at Glaisdale in July. 



Pamplusia mercuriana. On Westerdale Moors. 



* Coccyx taedella. Among Spruce Fir at Ingleby Greenhow 

 in May.
