200 PORRITT : LIST OF YORKSHIRE LEPIDOPTERA. 



with figures of eighteen of the specimens from my 

 cabinet, in the "Transactions of the Entomological 

 Society of London," Part 3, October 1889. No similar 

 race has been known to occur anywhere else, and un- 

 fortunately the character of the habitat was destroyed 

 soon after, and apparently the insect with it. 



Apctia lubpicipeda L. A number of additional specimens 

 of the extreme forms of this species are recorded. The 

 late Mr. George Jackson of York used to breed the 

 varieties eboraci Tugwell and fasciata Tugwell almost 

 every season, sometimes in numbers, and at the time 

 of his death possessed a long and very fine series of 

 these and other extraordinary forms. Mr. W. Hewett 

 reported the occurrence of three specimens of the ex- 

 treme form of variety radiata Stn. (zatinia Curt.) from 

 Driffield ; a specimen of radiata at Doncaster in 1901 

 {H.H.C., Nat., 1901, p. 255) ; a variety radiata bred 

 from a larva brought from Kirby Moorside by Mr. 

 Reginald H. Barker of Scarborough (Nat., 1899, P- 68); 

 "a fine radiata on a wall of some farm buildings near 

 the sea wall at Withernsea in 1900; also a female, 

 somewhat like var. eboraci, at same time and place " 

 {/. IV.B.). For a valuable paper dealing with the York- 

 shire forms of this interesting species, by Mr. William 

 Hewett, see Nat., Dec. 1894, pp. 353-362. 



Liparis aupiflua Fab. Fairly common near Barnsley in 

 1901 {A. IV.) ; Skelmanthorpe, Huddersfield {B.M.). 



Liparis salicis L. Beverley {JV. Johnson) ; Bishop's Wood 

 in 1903 (G.T.P.) ; still occurs near Huddersfield at 

 Skelmanthorpe (B.M.) ; Worsborough, near Barnsley 

 {A. W.). 



Opgyia pudibunda Z. Wheatley Wood, Doncaster 

 (H.I/.C.) ; Everingham ! {/. Sumner) ; Skipwith 

 {C.D.A.).
