ACROLITA CONSEQUANA IN DEVON. 137 



are from Massachusetts, New York, New Hampshire ; Orisaba, 

 Jalapa, and elsewhere in Mexico. Strangely enough, it is not 

 included in * Biologia Centrali-Americana,' i. (1883-1900), p. 288, 

 although in the representative collection of that work are two 

 females bearing (Mr. Champion tells me certainly) the MS. label, 

 " peronatus, Cameron," who perhaps had some doubt respecting 

 its priority ! This label I have destroyed. 



101. amictus.* — A single headless female of Schizoloma 

 amicta, Eab. 



102. glaucopterus. — A fine female Opheltes glaucopterus, Linn. 

 88. falcator. — This is certainly the same species as ^'Banchus 



falcator," Piez. 128, and not distinct, as given by Dalla Torre 

 (Cat. iii. 64 et 142). It is neither a Banchus nor Campoplex, as 

 its entire lack of areolet at once testifies. My knowledge of the 

 Ophioninae is not sufficient to enable me to name the single 

 female in the collection, and I can but superficially describe it as 

 a medium-sized Anomalon with the hind tarsi not spatuliform ; 

 the abdomen, with the exception of the second segment discally, 

 is centrally red, and both thorax and scutellum are entirely black. 

 It cannot, I think, be the I. falcator of Ent. Syst.

ACROLITA CONSEQUANA, H.-S., IN DEVON, WITH 

 STEAY NOTES ON ITS HABITS, &c. 



By Eustace E. Bankes, M.A., F.E.S., &c. 



With reference to Mr. C. Granville Clutterbuck's note (antea, 

 p. 100) chronicling the discovery in South Devon, in July, 1907, 

 of larvae of Acrolita consequana, from which seven imagines 

 were bred in the following month, it may be of interest to record 

 the fact that I took this species in South Devon as long ago as 

 August 13th, 1900. The moth being abundant throughout my 

 visit, which terminated early in September, a nice series was 

 secured, and either it or the larva has proved equally common 

 in the other years in which the same locality has been explored. 

 I also bred it in plenty, July 1st — August 27th, 1902, from 

 larvae of all sizes collected there in the latter half of September, 

 1901, and have distributed some of these Devonshire specimens, 

 with full data, among various friends.
