SOME NOTES ON THE LEPIDOPTERA OF THE " DALE COLLECTION," 

 NOW IN THE OXFOED UNIVERSITY MUSEUM. 



BY JAMES J. WALKER, M.A., R.N., F.L.S. 



(Concluded from vol. xlv, p. 181). 



PYRALIDINA (including DELTOIDES). 



Madopa salicalis, W. V. — Four specimens, including one ? in excellent 

 condition ; labelled at side " Kent." 



Sophronia emortualis, W. V. — A very fine example, apparently a ? . Labelled 

 ' ' Taken by the late Charles Healey near the King's Oak, High Beech," and at 

 side " Epping Forest." (Cf. Barrett, Lep. British Islands, vol. vi, p. 288). 



Herminia derivalis, Hiibn. — A fine series of twelve specimens, some of them 

 on old pins ; the more recent are labelled " Abbot's Wood " at side. 



Pyralis lienigialis, Zell — A pair in excellent condition ; the ? is labelled 

 " From Rev. H. Burney coll., 1893 " (C. W. D.). 



Diasemia ramburialis, Dup. — One example in good order as to the wings, 

 but lacking the antennae and most of the legs. " Folkestone " at side ; probably 

 the specimen referred to by Barrett (I. c, vol. ix, p. 258) as taken in that locality 

 by Mr. W. Purdey in 1878. 



B. literalis, Scop. — Five examples, in good condition and apparently of 

 fairly recent date. " Devon " at side. 



Antigastra catalaunalis, Dup. — A single example in very good condition 

 " from Rev. Burney's coll." (C. W. D.), but with no further history. 



Endotricha flammealis, W. V. — Two fine examples, in which the usual 

 pinkish-fulvous ground colour is almost entirely replaced by a rich dark fuscous- 

 brown tint. " Folkestone " at side. 



Acentropus niveus, Oliv. — Four examples from " Glanvilles Wootton " stand 

 lander the label " Gamonsii B. E., pi. 497," and probably include the type 

 specimen figured under the name of A. gamonsii by Curtis, Brit. Ent., plate 

 497 (April 1st, 1834), and therein referred to the Phryganidse (Trichoptera) 

 (Of. also Stephens, 111. Mand., vol. vi, pp. 148, 151, and " The Naturalist," vol. i, 

 p. 14, 1837). One of these is a $ with rudimentary wings about 15 mm. in 

 length, or proportionately of about the same size as those of Cheimatobia 

 brwmata, ? ; this has a printed label " foem :" and a bright red plain label. A 

 fine $ with fidly developed wings, among others from " G. Wootton " is labelled 

 in a similar manner. 



Margarodes unionalis, Hub. — Three examples, indifferently set, and in fair 

 to poor order ; the best is labelled " Galley Head, L. H.," and the others, 

 " Taken Kewton Downs, July, 1880," and " Geo. King, Torquay, 1859 " (C. W. D.). 



Botys repandalis, Schiff . — One fine specimen, which bears a printed label 

 apparently cut out of a sale catalogue, " bred by Rev. H. Burney from Ver- 

 bascum," and "Torquay" at side. (Cf. Ent. Mo. Mag., vol. xxii, p. 145). 



B. lupulinalis, Clk. — A fine but very badly set specimen on an old gilt pin, 

 with label also cut out of a sale catalogue, " taken from Dr. A. Wallace, 1857, 

 Bembridge, Isle of Wight,"
