LEPIDOPTERA 



The insects belonging to this group have, as usual, owing to their attractive appearance, 

 received more attention from collectors than the other orders ; but although our knowledge of the 

 butterflies and larger moths of the county is now fairly complete, much still remains to be done 

 before anything like an exhaustive list of the so-called Micro-Lepidoptera can be given. The earliest 

 published account of Nottinghamshire Lepidoptera is contained in White's Worktop, the Dukery, and 

 Sherwood Forest, published in 1875. In this work two lists are given, one by W. J. Sterland of 

 ' Lepidoptera taken in Sherwood Forest by the late John Trueman ' ; the other, by R. E. Brameld, 

 enumerates the species captured by himself ' in or about Sherwood Forest, from 1859 to 1874.' 

 Mr. Sterland's list, although it professes to include only those species which Trueman himself 

 collected within the limits of the forest, contains so many improbable records that one is forced to 

 the conclusion that numerous species are included which were collected by Trueman in other parts 

 of the kingdom or received by him from correspondents. I have therefore felt compelled to ignore 

 most of Sterland's records unless confirmed by Brameld or later observers. Other lists of Notting- 

 hamshire Lepidoptera have been published by the present writer * and by Mr. J. R. Hardy. 3 



In addition to the information derived from these sources I have received much help from 

 numerous entomological friends and correspondents. My thanks are especially due to Miss Alderson 

 of Worksop, whose labours in the Worksop and Sherwood Forest districts have resulted in the 

 addition of very many new species to the county records, and whose co-operation in this work has 

 been of the utmost value ; to the Rev. Alfred Thornley, whose unrivalled knowledge of the insect 

 fauna of Nottinghamshire has been freely placed at my disposal ; and also to the Revs. E. G. Alderson 

 and W. Becher, and Messrs. B. A. Bower, W. Daws, J. R. Hardy, G. Henderson, J. T. Houghton, 

 A. R. Leivers, D. H. Pearson, G. Pike, and A. Simmons. To all these friends I am indebted for 

 much valuable and generous assistance. 



The arrangement and nomenclature adopted in this list are those of South's 'Entomologist' List 

 of British Lepidoptera. Of the 2,081 species therein enumerated, 903 species have been recorded 

 on good authority as occurring in Nottinghamshire.
