Leptogramma boscana, Fabr. and var. scabrana, Fb. Seems to have 

 become extinct in many of its former haunts in the immediate 

 neighbourhood of Plumstead (J.A.B.) ; extinct near Eltham 

 (C.F.) ; Dartford Heath fence (A.H.J.). 



*Mr. West writes : " My first discovery of L. SCABRANA was in October, 

 1872, in an elm hedge about 50 feet long, in Cage Lane, Plumstead, when it 

 was taken quite unexpectedly in great numbers. It was very sluggish. 

 L. BOSCANA was found the first week in July, 1874. It is very active and 

 easily damaged. In 1875 I bred a fine series from larvae collected in June. 

 The same year I bred L. SCABRANA from larvae taken at the end of August, 

 the larvae of both species being alike." After numerous failures to obtain 

 ova, and so breed the species to allay his suspicions of these being dimorphic 

 broods of one species, he at length succeeded, and his note reads : ' I obtained 

 ova of L. BOSCANA on July 17th, 1877, laid in little green patches on the sides 

 of a bottle in which the females had been placed.' After describing the habits 

 of the larvae, he continues : * On September 29th the first imago appeared, 

 and was, as I expected, a true L. SCABRANA.' " (J. W. Tutt, Ent. Record, 1906).
