LEPIDOPTERA OF THE ISLE OF PURBECK. 67 



hollow in the clay cliffs by Punfield Cove by 

 E.R.B. on May 12, 1893. Kimmeridge Coast ; 

 common. Feeds in roots of Inula dysenterica. 



EPHIPPIPHORA TRIGEMINANA, Ss. (= COSTIPUNCTANA, Hw. ?) 



Swanage Coast ; not uncommon among 

 Senecio jacobcea on the steep rough cliff 

 slopes. (E.R.B.) 



Coccyx, Tr. 

 Coccyx splendidulana, G. Corfe ; one taken by E.R.B, 

 on May 23, 1890. 

 ,, DiSTiNCTANA, Ben. Corfe ; a beautiful specimen 

 was taken in the Rectory shrubbery by 

 E.R.B. on June 2, 1892. 



Coccyx, Tr. (Steganoptycha, Ss.) 

 Coccyx (Steganoptycha) subseqijana, Hw. Corfe ; three 

 specimens were taken and about three others 

 seen far out of reach, among spruce fir (at 

 Kingston) by E.R.B. on May 19, 1908. The 

 species was evidently almost over by this 

 date, and is probably common in one fair- 

 sized spruce fir at the right time ; the many 

 other spruces in the same plantation were 

 tried in vain, except for one small one that 

 yielded a single individual. [Note by N. M. 

 Richardson — I have found this species, which 

 I took at Langton Herring, near Weymouth, 

 in 1889 and subsequent years, more attached 

 to silver fir than spruce, but never common. 

 Proc. XI., 77, and Plate, fig. 5.] 



Retinia, G. 

 Retinia pinicolana, Db. Corfe ; beaten not uncommonly 

 from Scotch fir by E.R.B. in July, 1901, and 

 since. (New to Dorset List.) The erroneous 

 entry of this species in the original Purbeck 

 List was corrected in the " Fu'st Supplement " 

 to it.
