A HISTORY OF WARWICKSHIRE 



BoARMUN/E (continued) 



= Brandon, Princethorpe, etc. (Rugby 

 lists) ; Wolford (W. C. E. Wheeler) 



Phasiane clathrata, L. Seems to be common 

 in the southern parts of the county, but 

 does not occur at all in the northern. 

 Rugby (common, G. B. Longstaff, 

 E.M.M. iii. 138, and Rugby lists) ; 

 Warwick (1887, P. P. Baly) ; Wai- 

 ford (W. C. E. Wheeler, Austen) ; 

 Whitchurcb (L. C. Keighley-Peach) 



Perconia strigillaria, Hb. Mr. W. G. Blatch 

 records this from Button Park. It 

 must however be very rare there as 

 I have heard of no other captures 



NOLIDjE 



Nola cucullatella, L. Probably generally 

 common, though I have no records 

 from the southern part of the county 

 excepting in the Rugby lists 



confusalis, H. S. (cristulalis, Dup.) 



Coombe Wood, Coventry (G. H. 

 Kenrick) ; Brandon Woods = Rugby 

 (Rugby lists : practically the same 

 as Coombe) ; Walfard (W. C. E. 

 Wheeler) 



CYMBIDjE 



Hylophila prasinana, L. Common through- 

 out the county 



ARCTIIDjE 

 ARCTIIN^E 



Spilosoma mendica, Cl. Not common. 

 Hampton-in-Arden (G. W. Wynn) ; 

 Knowle (W. Kiss, etc.) ; Small Heath 

 (Blatch Hand.) ; Rugby = Overs/ade, 

 etc. (Rugby lists) ; Atherstone (C. 

 Baker) ; Wolford (W. C. E. Wheeler) 



lubricipeda, L. Common everywhere 



menthastri, Esp. 

 Phragmatobia fuliginosa, L. Not common. 



Sutton Park (C. ]. W., etc.) ; Knowle 

 (Blatch Coll.) ; Wolford (W. C. E. 

 Wheeler) ; Athenian (C. Baker) 



Parasemia plantaginis, L. Fairly common 

 in Sutton Park ; and Mr. W. C. E. 

 Wheeler says it is common in one 

 locality at Wolford 



Diacrisia sanio, L. (russula, L.). Rare. 

 Occurs occasionally in Sutton Park 



Arctia caja, L. Common everywhere 



Hipocrita jacobaeae, L. Rare ; and has 

 not been taken anywhere near to 

 Birmingham for many years. It is 

 said that it used to be found at Saltley 

 (Blatch Hand.) ; Rugby = Brandon 

 Woods (Rugby lists = ' very rare, as is 



(continued) 

 its food plant ; but it has certainly 

 been taken at Brandon by L. Cum- 

 ming,' N. V. Sidgwick) ; Atherstone 

 (C. Baker); Walfard (W. C. E. 

 Wheeler, Austen, etc.) 

 LITHOSIIN^E 



Nudaria mundana, L. Not common. 

 Rugby (Rugby lists) ; Walfard (W. 

 C. E. Wheeler) 



Miltochrista miniata, Forst. Brandon Woods 

 (Rugby lists). It is very rare in the 

 midlands, but the records are pro- 

 bably correct, as the name occurs in 

 several lists and it is a distinct species ; 

 moreover Mr. A. Sidgwick is respon- 

 sible for some of the records 



Cybosia mesomella, L. Rare. Knowle 

 (Blatch Hand.) ; Rugby = Brandon 

 Woods, etc. (Rugby lists) ; also occurs 

 in F. Enock's 1870 List 



Lithosia lurideola, Zinck. (complanula, B.). 

 Generally distributed, but not very 

 common 



ZYG1ENID1E 



ZYG.flENIN.ffi 



Zygaena trifolii, Esp. Knowle (R. C. Brad- 

 ley) ; Olton, Coventry (Blatch Coll.) ; 

 Rugby (Rugby lists) ; Atherstone (C. 

 Baker) ; Wolford (W. C. E. Wheeler) 



lonicerae, Scheven. Marston Green 



(G. W. Wynn) ; Knowle = Hay Wood 

 (Blatch Coll.) ; Rugby (Rugby lists) ; 

 Wolford^W. C. E. Wheeler). I doubt 

 if the above two species are always 

 properly distinguished, and merely 

 give the records as I have received 

 them 



filipendulae, L. The commonest species 



of the genus, and is recorded from most 

 parts of the county. It is however 

 local, and not often common even 

 locally 



Ino statices, L. Common in a few re- 

 stricted localities. Knowle (R. C. 

 Bradley, W. Kiss, etc. ; very abun- 

 dant in 1898, H. W. Ellis) ; Sutton 

 (reported only = J. T. Fountain) ;
