380 Mr. J. J. Walkov'ri notes on Lcpidoptera 



Z. stachadis, Bork. — Locally plentiful in marshy 

 places. Cork- woods, June4tli, 1887; Benzus Bay, June 

 25th, 1888. 



Z. lavandula, E. — This very beautiful insect has 

 occurred to me only in one little spot, a sunny bank 

 about a mile north of the town of San Eoque, on the 

 way to the cork-woods. I found it here not uncom- 

 monly on May 7th, 1887, and again on May 10th, 

 1888. It flies rather actively in the bright morning 

 sunshine. 



Z. ha'tica, Ramb. — Exceedingly abundant in the 

 Alameda of Gibraltar, and other places on the rock ; 

 also on the Neutral Ground. The larva feeds on the 

 handsome yellow-flowered Coronilla glauca, frequently 

 stripping the bushes of their foliage, and the moth is 

 double-brooded. The specimens of the first brood, which 

 appears in May (being observed on the 18th of that 

 month in 1887), are much finer and larger than those of 

 the more numerous second brood, which emerge in 

 August and September. The cocoon is smooth, oval, 

 and white, and not a little resembles a lizard's egg. 



Nola cicatricalis, Treitschke. — One or two found on 

 tree-trunks in the cork-woods in April, and at rest on 

 lichen-covered boulders on the Eock of Gibraltar in 

 October. 



Emijdia crihrmn, L., var. Candida, CyrilL— Not un- 

 common. Taken on gas-lamps at Gibraltar, among 

 grass at Campamento, and in heathy places in the cork- 

 woods. May, and again in August and September. 



Deiopeia i^ulchella, L. — Abundant everywhere, and to 

 be met with throughout the year, though most plentiful 

 in early summer. On May 14th, 1887, I saw it in vast 

 profusion at the edge of the cork-woods, every step that 

 I took disturbing scores of examples. Larva on Helio- 

 tropum europcBimi, Echium, and other Boraginece. 



Euclielia jacohece, L. — Locally common near Campa- 

 mento in June ; the larva found in plenty on ragwort. 



Euprcpia pudica, L. — Occasionally found at rest at 

 Gibraltar and Tangier. The larva is not uncommon, 

 but it feeds up very slowly, and is not easy to rear. The 

 imago appears in August and September. 



Arctiavillica, L. — Not common. Found near Campa- 

 mento in March and April, and the larvae and pupaB are 

 occasionally met with in early spring. The specimens
