PeDITIONS FO. THE, CLUB'S LIST -OF LOCAL 
MACRO-LEPIDOPTERA, Igoo. 
By J. W. Bou rt. 
HE following species do not occur in the ‘‘ List of Macro- 
Lepidoptera collected within eight miles of Hull,” 
which is printed in our Transactions for last year 
(page 55). The first (Mania typica), isa common species, and 
was accidentally omitted from the list. All the others are 
recorded by the late Mr. George Norman in a copy of 
‘« Stainton’s Manual,” now in the possession of our Secretary, 
Mr. T. Sheppard, and particulars of these have been supplied 
to me by Mr. Sheppard (see his remarks on page 105). The 
records marked * are initialled ‘‘«T.S.” in Norman’s hand- 
writing, and were in the collection of the late Thomas 
Stather, of Hull. This collection is still in existence. The 
other species are presumably Norman’s own captures. It is 
rather remarkable that not one of the last thirteen species is 
now known to occur in this district :— 
Name. Locality. 
Mania typica Hull. 
Mamestra abjecta* Hull. 
Celena Haworthit* Hull. 
Ayrotis porphyrea* Hull. 
Agrotis pyrophila* Hull. 
Noctua subrosea* Hull. 
Teniocampa populeti Cottingham. 
Dicyela oo Beverley. 
Dianthoecia conspersa Hull. 
Hadena glauca* Hull. 
Heliothis peltiger™ Hull. 
Tovocampa pastinum* Hull. . 
Catocala fraxini* Hull. 
Brephos parthenias Cottingham. 
It has been remarked that our last list did not contain 
many species which are recognised as very common in other 
parts of the country. This is due to the fact that they do not 
occur in close proximity to the city of Hull, in consequence 
of the absence of woods and other suitable habitats. 
The past year has been a very poor one from a collector’s 
point of view, so far as this neighbourhood is concerned.
