PORTLAND LEPIDOPTERA. 175 



PENTHINIM;, Gn. 



PENTHINA PRUNIANA, Hb. Abundant. , , 



,, VARIEGANA, Hb. Common. 



,, GENTIANA, Hb. Larva not uncommon in stems of teasel. 

 * SELLANA, Hb. Not uncommon. 



SPILONOTID^E, Gn. 

 HEDYA OCELLANA, Fb. Common. 

 SPILONOTA INCARNATANA, Hb. Not uncommon amongst Rosa 



spinosissima. 

 TRIMACULANA, Haw. Common (C. P.) Recorded 



Proc. I., 59 (C. W. D.) 

 ROS.ECOLANA, Dbl. Not uncommon. 



,, ROBORANA. 2V. Rather common amongst Rosa spin- 



osissima, generally of the form with pale brownish 

 markings on cieam-coloured ground. 

 PARDIA TRIPUNCTANA, Fb. Common. 



SERICORID.E, Gn. 



ASPIS UDMANNIANA, L. Common. 



SERICORIS LITTORALIS, Curt. Common amongst thrift. As a rule 

 the ground colour is darker and the markings less 

 distinct than in Purbeck specimens, 

 t CESPITANA, Hb. Abundant and variable. 



* P.fuligana, Hb., recorded as " Common " in Proc. L, 59, may refer 

 to this species. Mr. C. W. Dale tells me that he has taken specimens at 

 Portland, which he referred to the biifjle-feeding fuligana which occurs 

 in woods in Dorset, but I think that further confirmation is necessary of 

 its occurrence at Portland (N. M. R. ) 



NOTE. S. fuligana is recorded by mistake in Lep. Dorset, 1891, 

 p. 43. 



t Sericoris eupkorbiana, FIT., has not, so far as I am aware, occurred 

 at Portland, the specimen taken there by Mr. C. W. Dale, and referred 

 by him to tliat species, being, in my opinion, a female of S. cespitana, 

 (N. M. R.)
