CLEVELAND LEPIDOPTERA IN 1909. 



""Denotes species recorded in Proceedings for first time. 



The conditions prevailing during the Spring and Summer 

 were not very favourable, for the most part being sunless, 

 wet and cold, with the exception of a few days in early 

 August. 



The first insects noticed were on February 20th, when 

 Phigalia pedaria, Hybernia leucophearia, and a good number 

 of Hybernia rupicapraria were noticed, although it was 

 extremely cold. 



BOMBYCES. Nemeophila plantaginis and Var. *hospita. 



Took a female specimen of this moth off a wall 

 alongside Kildale Moors, from which I obtained ova, and 

 succeeded in rearing a most interesting second brood 

 of over one hundred specimens, which included about 

 twenty-six specimens of the Hospita variety (in which the 

 creamy yellow ground colour in the male is replaced by 

 white), 31 type males and 55 females, some of which varied 

 considerably.
