LEPIDOPTERA OF THE ISLAND OF CAPRI. 187 



This year I hope to have the assistance of a fellow-worker in 

 further developing the resources of Capri. I should also be 

 grateful for any hints as to what methods to adopt. It would 

 also be of the greatest assistance if any readers would inform me 

 of what works exist bearing on the Lepidoptera of this part of 

 Italy, and also where a full reference to the lepidopterous work 

 of the Costas' can be found. 



Costa's H. sen-aria (3848), which Staudinger queries, has 

 not yet come to hand, though I have seen a doubtful specimen in 

 a Naples collection. I should be glad to hear of any specimens, 

 and to receive a photograi)h of same. Costa gives this moth in 

 one of his plates. 



The correct naming of the Zygsenidae and Syntomidse appears 

 to be a diiScult matter, and I should be glad to receive any speci- 

 mens of these or of the Sesiidae that would probably be found 

 here. I think possibly some of specimens may be : — 



4327^. Zygcena scabiosa v. neapolitana, Calb. 



4356a. Z. Wansalpina v. sorrentina, Stgr. Sorrento is only 

 distant two miles. 



43o6&. calahrica, Calb. 



Of 4356c, ab. hoisduvalii, Costa, I have some specimens (yellow 

 spots), taken on a mountain top above Napoli ; also, in the same 

 district, the new var. found by Herr Fritz Zickert, which is with- 

 out the yellow spot on hind wing. 



4361. Z. oxytropis, B., found at Avellino, should also be 

 taken here.
