302 Field Notes. 



NEUROPTERA. 



Coniopteryx aleyrodiformis at Huddersfield. — On June 



nth last, I was pleased to beat out of an oak in Lepton Wood, 

 Huddersfield, a few specimens of the pretty little Coniopteryx 

 aleyrodiformis, and on the 29th of the same month, more 

 specimens from both oak and hawthorn in Farnley Mill Wood, 

 in the same district. In Yorkshire the species has only pre- 

 viously been recorded from the Cleveland district, by Dr. J. W. 

 H. Harrison. — Geo. T. Porritt, Dalton, Huddersfield. 



ENTOMOLOGY. 



Euchelia jacobaae in North West Yorkshire.— On the 



30th July I was surprised to find one larva of Euchelia jacobcscp 

 feeding upon ragwort on Blackhills. I subsequently examined 

 more ragwort in this locality, but found no more larvae. I 

 have never met with the imago yet in this district, and I believe 

 it has not been recorded for North West Yorkshire. — E. P. 



BUTTERFIELD. 



Euchelia jacobseae near Bradford. — An imago of this 

 species was taken at Shipley Cilen in June 1910, by Mr. F. 

 Booth, who kindly gave the specimen to me. — J. W. Carter. 



Zeuzera sesculi in North West Yorkshire. — On the 3rd 



August an insect was brought to me which had been picked up 

 in our Council School playground, and had evidently been 

 trodden upon by the children, as its body was quite flat and in 

 a very mutilated condition. It was a Wood Leopard Moth, 

 which has not, I believe, been recorded previously for North 

 West Yorkshire, according to Porritt's list, 2nd edition, 1904. 



— E. P. BUTTERFIELD. 



Hemiptera-Homoptera in East Yorkshire. — On August 

 ist, I had the pleasure of a couple of hours' collecting on 

 Skipwith Common in company with Dr. W. J. Fordham, of 

 Bubwith, and made a search for two fairly recent additions to 

 our British list of heath-frequenting species. The scale-insect 

 Eriococcus devoniensis Green was fairly common on Erica 

 tetralix ; this was originally described from South Devon, 

 but has been recorded from other localities also, among which 

 we may note North Yorkshire (Dr. J. W. H. Harrison). A 

 more interesting discovery was the Aleyrodid Tetralicia ericae 

 Harrison. This has, so far as I know, been taken only in a 

 very limited area in county Durham, where, with its discoverer, 

 I have taken it. At Skipwith it occurred in smaller or larger 

 numbers on every tuft of Erica on which search was made, 

 in one case over a score being seen in one spider-web. This is 

 a new county record, and the former is a new record for vice- 

 county 61. — Geo. B. Walsh.
