LEPIDOPTERA OF THE ISLE OF PURBECK. 47 



trepida, Leucania vitellina, L. albipuncta, L. extranea, Micra 

 parva, Catocala electa, Lemiodes pulveralis, Epischnia bankes- 

 iella, Simcethis vibrana, Eupoecilia manniana, Tinea richard- 

 soni, Micropteryx aruncella (probably merely a variety of M. 

 seppella), Yponomeuta rorellus, Argyresthia atmoriella, Litlio- 

 colletis triguttella (Mr. Bankes brings evidence to prove this 

 to be merely a variety of L. faginella), Nepticula fulgens, N. 

 conjusella, Trifurcula pallidella, besides other interesting 

 species. Altogether, no less than 171 species are now added 

 to the list, which swells the number found in Purbeck (after 

 allowing for all corrections) to the very large total of 1,197, 

 an extraordinarily rich Lepidopterous fauna for so small a 

 tract, which it probably owes to the varied nature of the land 

 comprised in it. Heath and bog, sand-hills and salt marshes, 

 woods and downs, fertile fields and rocky cliffs and sea-shore 

 are all found, and each contributes the different species that 

 inhabit it. 



A few corrections of previous lists and records are necessary. 

 In Entomologist XXX., Ill (1897), Hesperia paniscus and 

 Sesia muscceformis were recorded from Swanage by Mr. J. H. 

 Fowler, but in Entom. XXXII., 309 (1899), he withdrew both 

 records. Although he could not say what the supposed 

 H. paniscus of his informant could have been, it is quite 

 incredible that it could have been H. paniscus, unless 

 proved indubitably by the production of the specimen. A 

 list of Delenda et corrigenda in the first List of Purbeck 

 Lepidoptera and the first supplement, a few of which 

 have already been noticed in the first supplement, is here 

 appended.
