NOCTURNI. 27 



Arctia lubricipeda L. Abundant in gardens and cultivated 

 places everywhere. 



The varieties radiata and zatima Cram., the latter 

 having the dots replaced by transverse lines on the fore 

 wings, are occasionally reared. 



Arctia menthastri W.V. Quite as plentiful as the pre- 

 ceding, but more partial to lanes and field-sides. 



The variety Walkeri C?//-/., in which " the spots are 

 united to form longitudinal streaks," is bred not unfre- 

 quently. 



Liparis chrysorrhea L. Hunslet ! {/.P.); Scarborough {IT. 



Marsh) ; Sheffield {A.D. and others) ; Wakefield {Mr. 



Hawkins, Yorkshire Naturalists^ Circular, Nov., 1872, 



p. 89) ; Whitby !! ( W.E. C.) ; York (P. C, Entom., Feb., 



1842). 



Liparis auriflua Fab. Abundant in the eastern division, 

 and common in many parts of the western division. 

 Apparently very rare in the Bradford, Halifax, and Hud- 

 dersfield districts ; indeed I have only taken it once at 

 Huddersfield, and then from a hawthorn hedge in my own 

 garden.

 {J.P.); Leeds {J.G.); ^^Eexion {F.O.M., Brit. Moths, 

 i87i,i.7i); Selby (^.^, iV^r/., 1864); Wakefield ( ^f^r.); 

 York {R.C., Newman^ s Entom., Feb., 1842, i. 259). 



Liparis monacha L. Barnsley {J-H.) ; Yioncdstox {F.O.M., 

 Brit. Moths. 187 1, i. 73); near Riccall, Selby, and I 

 think also at Bishop's Wood (G.T.P.) ; Sheffield, in old 

 lists {A.D.). 



Orgyia pudibunda L. Fairly distributed but not generally 

 common.
