64 DORSET LEPIDOPTEIIA IN 1892-3. 



(which was scarce), Rliodoplicea advenella, Tortrix cratcegana, 

 Sciapliila sinnana, Eupcecilia geyeriana, Tinea alhipundella, 

 Tinagma hetulce (not so common as in 1891), Gvacilaria imperial- 

 ella (one specimen, the second only recorded in Dorset), Cosmoj)teryx 

 orichalcella (two specimens, new to the county), and several species 

 of Elacliista —a genus which appears to be in force at Bloxworth. 

 Micropteryx Kaltenhacliii is recorded by Mr. E. R. Bankes as new 

 to the county, taken by himself at Corfe Castle, April 22nd, 1893, 

 and Bryoh'oplia tetragonella, also ncAv to Dorset, taken by Rev. C. R. 

 Digby, at Studland, at the end of June, 1892. This is probably 

 the last addition that Mr. Digby has made to our county fauna, 

 and it is a source of great regret that so good an Entomologist 

 should have left Dorset. I have no doubt, however, that he will 

 continue his work in Hampshire and make many new discoveries. 

 ;Mr. Bankes has also turned up Coleoplwra deauratella in Purbeck, 

 which is new to that district, though not to the county. (E.M.M. 

 xxix., 46-47.) 



I may mention the occurrence of a specimen of DasypoUa 



templi at Portland, in September last, which I have not taken 



there before. On the same night Epunda Uchenea was very 



abundant, especially during the rainstorms, which were frequent
