Yorkshire Naturalists’ Umon: Annual Report, 1910. 53 
Amongst other interesting forms of A. grossulariata bred 
from wild larve taken at Worsbrough Bridge, near Barnsley, 
var. varleyata again occurred. 
No matter how poor a season may be on the whole, it 
always seems to be especially favourable to certain species ; 
thus A. unanimis was found to be more than usually plentiful 
this year at Haw Park, and Mr. Morley noticed black B. pilosavia in 
exceptional numbers at Skelmanthorpe, and O. filigrammaria, in 
great abundance at Penistone. 
Mr. G. T. Porritt writes :—Two species of Macro-lepidoptera 
have been added to the Huddersfield District List during 
the past season. The first, Lupithecia lariciata occurred to 
myself in Farnley Mill Wood, in June; the other, Covemia 
munitata, a much more interesting addition, was found in some 
numbers on high moorland banks, in the Holme Valley, by 
Mr. S. L. Mosley. Mr. B. Morley also reports the same species 
from the Skelmanthorpe district, thus making a second locality, 
and marking at present the most southerly distribution of the 
species in England, though it has been recorded from a locality 
still further south in Wales. In Yorkshire it had previously been 
taken at Malham and Buckden. Mr. Mosley also reported a great 
abundance of Oporabia filigrammaria in the Holme Valley. Of 
Abraxas grossulariata in which so much interest is now taken all 
over the country, the varieties varleyata, nigrosparsata, lacticolor, 
subviolacea, semiviolacea, hazeleighensis, and ‘some unnamed other 
extreme forms have been bred at Huddersfield, by Messrs. James 
Lee, Alfred Kaye, and myself. Away from Huddersfield, Mr. 
Samuel Walker has reared a magnificent series of various forms 
of A. grossulariata from larve collected at York; and a few 
days ago, Mr. W. G. Clutten brought me representatives of very 
dark Boarmia rhomboidaria and B. repandata from Middlesbrough 
larve ; the former is darker than anything in the species I had 
previously seen in Yorkshire, including the variety perfumaria, 
but yet not so dark as the very black form which has now for 
several years been sent out from Dartford in Kent. The B. re- 
Pandata approached the now well-known black form of South West 
Yorkshire. Mr. Clutten had also taken Mzana captiuncula 
commonly at Grassington in August; and Gnophos obscurata in 
the same locality. 
NEUROPTERA AND TRICHOPTERA.—Mr. G. T. Porritt writes :— 
Not much has been done among these orders during the year, and 
no species new to the county has been reported. The most 
interesting record was the abundance of Tinodes dives on the 
river at Malham, on the occasion of the Union’s Excursion there 
in June. The still more local Stenophylax alpestris, as well as 
Hemerobius quadrifasciatus occurred again to me, in their locality 
near Sheffield. Mr. J. W. Carter took Temopteryx vist ate Buck- 
den; and Messrs. George Bunce and B. Morley each gave me a 
Igii Jan. 1
