yS Morley : Yorkshire Entomology in 1916. 



Grapholitha trimaculana, G. cinerana (among aspens), Olindia 

 idmana and Sciaphila sinuana were taken." 



Dr. Fordham exhibited nine species of coleoptera new to 

 the Yorkshire list and several new to V.C. 61 (S. E. Yorkshire), 

 etc., details of which will appear in his report to be presented 

 in The Naturalist shortly : — Anthracus consputus, Atheta gyllen- 

 hali and Trichopteryx jratercula from Bubwith, Gyrophcena nana 

 and Atheta sodalis from Skipwith Common, Atheta fungivora 

 from Escrick, Cry ptophagus mficornis and Cis vilhsulus from 

 Barmby Common, near Pocklmgton, and Malihodes nigellus 

 from Bolton Abbey, and the following species new tc V.C. 61, 

 S.E.Yorks : — Diphyllus lunatus, Dorytomus salicis, D. pectoralis, 

 Brachytarsus varius, Atheta debilis, Oxypoda longipes, Coeliodes 

 nibicundits, Deporaus niegacephalus and Orchestes nisei, and 

 a specimen of Anchomenus ericeti from Cleveland (new to V.C. 

 62, N. W. Yorks.) and also Brachycerus cinereus, an imported 

 weevil (see Naturalist, May, 1916). Among several rare and 

 interesting specimens (British, but not Yorkshire), were 

 Pterostichus angustatus (recently added to the British list), 

 Anchomenus 6-punctatus and A. 4-punciatus from Crowthorne, 

 Berks., taken by Mr. W. E. Sharp, and some interesting colour 

 varieties of various species. Mr. William Hewitt exhibited 

 a fine collection of Coleoptera, collected by the late Mr. C. W. 

 Simmons of York, and Mr. Ed. Cocker showed a 2 Monoch- 

 ammns sutor L. taken in a wood-yard at Huddersfield. 



Mr. E. G. Bay ford showed Le.ptwa sanguinolenta L., a 

 5 caught at Barnsley, July 20th, 1916, and the Hemipterous 

 Gcrris najas De. G., Walton, August 24th, 1916 and Nabis 

 flavo-marginatus, Scholtz, near Buxton, August 21st, 1916. 



The exhibits of lepidoptera were as follows : — Mr. J. 

 Hooper, a series of Oporabia filigrammana, from Penistone 

 Moors, Mr. Ed. Cocker, a series each of Hydrcecia petasitis, 

 Folia flavociucta, Hadena glauca and melanic Cleoceris viminalis 

 from the Huddersfield district ; and Mr. B. Morley, Picris 

 rapm and a fine series of Pieris napi, taken by Dr. Smart in 

 Northern France, and also a series of heavily marked P. napi 

 of North Irish origin. 



At the evening meeting, Mr. B. Morley gave an address 

 based on a collection of lepidoptera made by Dr. Smart in 

 the area between Arras and the Somme Valley in France 

 during 1916. The most striking feature of the collection is 

 its remarkable British character. Tnirty-one species of 

 butterflies are represented, and only three, Melitcea parthence, 

 Lyccena cyllaris and Syricthus ilvceus do not occur in Britain. 

 Generally, the colours of the insects do not excel in brilliance, 

 but in certain cases are of larger size than British ones. Males 

 of Pieris rapce are large and white, the females ordinary and 

 contrast strikingly with P. brassicce, the males being much
