ALUCITID.t. 



Alucita hexadaclyla ; was very common in places, on the top of 

 the cHffs near its food plant, honeysuckle. 



Crambid/E. 



Cramhus pinellus ; one specimen. 



C. geniculeiis ; was abundant on the sand-hill in good variety of 

 light and dark, flying in company with M. virgata. 

 C. culmellus was also noted. 



Gallerid^. 

 Galleria mello)iella ; one specimen. 



TORTRICES. 



This group was abundant, but I paid no attention to it. Solitary 

 specimens of Peronea comparana and Teras contaminana w^ere found 

 in the net. 



TlNE^E. 



Also might have been worked to advantage. I noted several 

 species of Depressaria. 



DiPTERA. 



Asiiiis crabroiiiformis was common in one lane. 



COLEOPTERA. 



Broscus cephalotes ; a pair taken on the sand-hills, while search- 

 ing for larvae of J. ripce. 



Timarcha Uevigata was si ill to be found. 



Odonata. 



Sympeirum striulatuin was the only species taken or seen. 



Heteroptera. 



Capsus laniarius ; one specimen taken. 



Fhytocoris tilice ; very common on the trunks of trees on Lea 

 Mount. 



Hymenoptera. 



Wasps were exceedingly abundant ; no lane or road was without 

 its quota of nests. One evening towards dusk, while passing a nest 

 which had been well battered in front, I saw a beetle, Necrophorus 

 sp., crawling with impunity among the numerous wasps, who were in 

 no way put out by it. As my shadow crossed the nest the beetle 

 to my surprise took flight as easily as would a common house fly. 

 The yellow bands of the beetle seemed certainly to disguise its pre- 

 sence among the wasps.
