MARCO-LEPIDOPTEEA OBSERVED AT GODOLPHIN. 421 



Z. Agestis : — Not very common liere ; most plentiful at Praa 



Grreen. 

 Thecla Quercus : — Eare. Fly round oaks at Grodolphin. 

 T. Rubi : — Seen two. 

 Colias Eduna : — Occurs every year ; and like V. Cardui I believe 



breeds here regularly, but is occasionally reinforced by 



immigrants from the Continent. Very plentiful in 1897, 



when I took 40 in one morning at Praa Green. Last year it 



was quite common in clover helds in this parish. 

 Smerintlms Ocellata, S. Populi and Sphinx Ligustri: — Seen larvse 



of all three. 

 Acherontia Atropos : — Larvae seemed to be plentiful in Potato 



fields, 1899. 

 Macroglossa Stellatarum : — Very common 1899; doubtless many 



were descended fi'om immigrants to this country in June, at 



which time I noticed very many new arrivals in the shape of 



worn specimens. 

 TrochiliuDb Apiformis : — Only seen one moth, but judging fi'om 



the galleries in the trunks of poplars I should think it very 



common. 

 Ino statices : — Seen a few in the meadows. 

 Zygmna trifolii: — This local and gregarious species is abundant 



in a field at Kirton, in the parish of Crowan. 



Z. Jilipendulae : — All over the district. 



Lithosia griseola : — A few. 



Diacrisia ITendica : — Females occasionally seen ; they fly (after 



impregnation) in the afternoon and deposit ova after their 



flight. 

 Arctia Villica : — Pound here every year. 

 Sombyx Rohoris : — Very common. 

 B. jRubi: — Very plentiful on Godolphin Hill. The larvae in 



Sept. and Oct. ; the moths at the end of May. 



Saturnia pavonia : — Moths may be seen flying on May afternoons; 



they are not very common ; the larvae occur on Tregoning 



Hill. 

 Leucania Conigera : — Common.
