from the region of the Straits of Gibraltar. 383 



Eock of Gibraltar, in August. These specimens are 

 very dark, and are i^robably the var. urocera, Bdv. 



ilaphia hybris, Hiibn. — Found once or twice drying its 

 "wings on poplar-trunks at Gibraltar in August, 1887, 

 and at Campamento in April, 1888. The pupa was also 

 found under bark of Lombardy poplar at San Eoque in 

 the winter of 1887-8. 



Acronycta psi, L. — A larva of this species, found 

 feeding on Arbutus unedo at Tangier in November, 1886, 

 produced a very large and clearly marked imago in the 

 following April. 



A. rumicis, L. — Pupfe not uncommon, spun up on 

 rushes, on the borders of the Esmir lagoon in winter, 

 the imago appearing in February. 



Bryophila muralis, Forst., var. par, Hiibn. — Found at 

 rest on walls and tree-trunks, Rock of Gibraltar, but 

 scarce. July. 



B. ercptricula, Treitschke. — More plentiful than the 

 preceding, occurring on walls at Gibraltar and Campa- 

 mento in August and September. The orange-spotted 

 larva observed in the spring months. 



Tapinostola musculosa, L. — Not common. Found on 

 flowers of Scabiosa, Centaurea, &c., by the roadside near 

 San Eoque in May. 



Leucania Loreyi, Dup. — Fairly common on ivy-blos- 

 som in the Alameda at Gibraltar in October. 



L. l-album, L. — Occurs with the preceding, but much 

 scarcer. October and November. 



Caradrina exigua, Hiibn. — Not rare at ivy-blossom, 

 &c., at Gibraltar ; also at Tangier. October, and again 

 in spring. 



C. ambigna, "W. V. — Also on ivy-blossom in October, 

 but less common than the preceding. Gibraltar. 



Paclmobia rubricosa, W. V. — One specimen picked up 

 at rest in the village of Campamento, in May, 1888. 

 This is smaller and more obscurely marked, but more 

 brightly coloured, than any British specimen I have 

 seen. 



Orrhodia erythrocephala, W. V. — I refer with con- 

 siderable doubt to this species a moth taken on ivy- 

 bloom at Gibraltar in October, 1887. 



Triphcena pronubayh. — Occurs throughout the summer, 

 but can scarcely be called a common insect. Gibraltar 

 and Tangier.
