LIST OF 

 YORKSHIRE LEPIDOPTERA. 



PREFACE TO SECOND EDITION. 



As twenty years have elapsed since the pubhcation of 

 the " List of Yorkshire Lepidoptera," it seems desirable 

 that a Supplement to that List should now be published. 

 Such Supplement, it appears to me, should consist of 

 (I) a list with the necessary particulars of the additional 

 species ; (II) a list of the additional localities of the hitherto 

 known but more or less local species ; (III) remarks on that 

 local variation in which so much interest has, from its 

 extraordinary character, been taken by our students of the 

 Lepidoptera during the past fifteen years or more. 



That our county had been well worked is proved b)' the 

 fact that the twenty years have only added fifty-three species 

 to the former list, including- one, Scoparia ingrataUs^ which 

 is now, with good reason, only regarded as a variety of the 

 common S. pyralalis ; and another, Enistria fitscida, which 

 I can only as yet regard as a very doubtful Yorkshire species. 



For obvious reasons the same arrangement, nomenclature, 

 and abbreviations are adopted as in the former list. 



The new species then, denoted by a * in the Supplement 

 List, stand as follows : — 



Sphinx pinastri, 

 Ennomos autumnaria, 

 Boletobia fuliginaria, 

 Fidonia pinetaria, 

 Eupithecia isogrammata, 

 Thera jimiperata.
