86 PORRITT : LIST OF YORKSHIRE LEPIDOPTERA. 



Orthosia suspecta Hilb. Rather common, in some localities 

 abundant. The species was first added to the British list 

 from specimens taken at York by Mr. T. H. Allis (Ent. 

 Ann., 1855, /. 32). Some seasons it abounds in the 

 Bradford district, and perhaps can be taken more plenti- 

 fully there than anywhere.
