Excursion to Moncayo, N. Spain. 87 



L. atcr, Ditomay Ceo-ylon, Dlplocoiliis fagi, Litargus bifasci- 

 atus, various red Elaters, Tenebroidcs mauritanicus, 

 Coelometopus, Ahdera quadrifasciata, Hallomemts humeralis, 

 Orchesia micans, Scraptia fuscida, Engis, Ennearthron, etc. 

 The old beech stumps attracted Tonioxia, and the fresh-cut 

 logs and stumps Xylcborus dispiar, Mclasis, Leemophlceus 

 testaceus (in abundance), an Agrihis (specimens of which 

 were dug out of the solid wood), etc. At Canales most of 

 the old beeches found were too dry to produce much 

 beyond Thymalus, Tillus elongatus, Brontes planatus, 

 Leptura scntcllata, and the like, though they were riddled 

 with the burrows of Dorcus. The pines, however, fur- 

 nished a considerable number of species, as Bhagium 

 indagator, Bogonochmrus fasciculatus, Bissodes pini, three 

 species of Magdalis, Bhinomacer, four species of Tomicus, 

 Myclophihts minor, Hylastes paUiatus, Corticcus pini, 

 Blatysoma oUongitm, two species of Blegaderus, two of 

 Baromahis, Tachyta, Blacusa, etc. Under pine chips and 

 logs on damp ground were found Ccelometopus (in plenty), 

 two Carahi, Sterojnts, Bterostichus, Blatydcrus, ScapJudium, 

 a small elongate Anemadus, and others. 



On the higher slopes at Canales or Moncayo various in- 

 teresting forms were beaten from oak bushes, as Bhynddtes 

 sericeus and others of the genus, Ccrambyx scopolii, Bhopa- 

 lopus perforates, and divers StrophosomuSy Bhyllohius, 

 Bolydrusus, Balaninus, Cryptocephalus, Bachyhrachys, Cly- 

 thra, etc. Henicopus and Hymenoplia, as usual, swarmed 

 on grass-stems on the hill-sides and in the valleys, and a 

 Chasmafopterus flew in abundance over the grass ; while in 

 dry, arid places the sluggish Gapnodis tencbricosa could be 

 taken easily from the lichen-covered blackthorn bushes, 

 and also, but rarely, Btosima W-maculata. Horse-dung in 

 dry places at Canales sometimes harboured the local 

 ApJiodius carpetanus in abundance (a species also seen 

 almost in the city of Burgos and on the summit of Moncayo), 

 and the usual Gymonpleurus, Ateuchiis, Onthophagus, Hister 

 simtatns, etc. 



A very interesting new moth, Byropsyche moncatmella, 

 Chapm., was found by Dr. Chapman and myself on the 

 rocks on the upper part of Moncayo. This species has 

 already been figured and described in the Entomologist's 

 Record (xv, pp. 324-330; xvi, pp. 67, 68, t. 2). His 

 figures of the insect ai'e reproduced at the end of this 

 paper, on Plate XYI. A rough map of our route is given
