8072 Insects. 



Lomaspilis marginata. "Very common on one hedge of sallows. 



Hybernia rupicapiaria and H. progeramaria. The males of these 

 two species are common, the females I have bred but never taken. 



H. aurantiaria. I had a beautiful pair of this moth developed in 

 January last, from larvge feeding on birch. 



Anisopteryx aescularia. This species is not so common here as in 

 some localities. I never caught but one male, but bred several. 



Cheimatobiabrumata and Oporabia dilutata. Both common. 



Larentia didymata. Common where the stinging nettle abounds. 



L. multistrigaria. In the spring of 1861 I found this species very 

 abundant on the heaths. 



Emmelesia albulata. Not uncommon in the meadows. 



Eupithecia venosafca. Scarce. I have never taken many. I only 

 met with one during last season. 



E. nanata. One spot on the heath seems to swarm with this spe- 

 cies. 



E. castigata. Not very common. 



E. subnotata and E. vulgata. Not uncommon. 



E. absynthiata. Last season I bred a large number of this species 

 off the flowers of the ragwort. 



E. exiguata. Scarce. 



E. rectangulata. Not uncommon. 



Lobophora sexalata. Rare, as I believe it is in all other parts of 

 the kingdom. I have only taken two, and these happen to be 

 male and female. It is remarkable that the males have appendages 

 on the hind wings, and when I took it I thought it was a moth with 

 six wings. [Hence the name. — E. iV.] 



Thera variata. This species is very common. They differ very 

 much in size. 

 ' Ypsipetes impluviata. Not common. 



Y. elutata. Common, often abundant. Among them are some 

 curious varieties. 



Melanthia rubiginata. Taken once while beating an oak at Lynd- 

 hurst. 



M. ocellata. Common. 



M. albicillata. I took three of this species in 1861, but they appear 

 to be scarce, as I only saw single specimens. 



Melanippe rivata. Scarce. 



M. montanata. Not uncommon. 



M. galiata. Occasionally. 



M. fluctuata. Common.
