Cymatophora fluctuosa Hilb. Mr. A. Whitaker has 

 found this local species in plenty in a wood near 

 Barnsley, where in June 1901, he and two friends took 

 three dozens in two visits; and in 1902, in Mr. 

 Whitaker's company, I had the pleasure of takings 

 some in the same wood. The specimens from there, too, 

 are, I think, the largest and darkest I have seen 

 {G.T.P.). Burntwood {J.N.Y.). 



Cymatophora diluta W.V. Barnsley specimens, and 

 probably those of the South West Riding- generally, are 

 very dark and richly marked {G.T.P.). Bishop's Wood 

 {G.T.P.). 



Cymatophora flavicornis L. A variety taken in Wheatley 

 Wood, Doncaster, in 1894, is figured in Barrett s 

 " Lepidoptera of the British Islands" {H.H.C). 



Cymatophora ridens Fab. Scarborough {A. H. Head 

 and T. W. Loisonshorougli). 



Bpyophila perla W. V. The variety ^avesce7is Tutt occurred 

 at Wheatley, Doncaster, in July 1895 {H.H.C). 



Acronycta tridens W.V. Skipwith, "a few larvae" 

 {C.D.A., Nat., 1895, P- 88). 



Acronycta leporina L. Mr. A. Whitaker finds this species 

 fairly commonly in the same wood near Barnsley in 

 which C. fltictuosa occurs. In some seasons it is 

 common at Askham Bogs, as in 1891 [G.T.P.) ; Burnt- 

 wood (/.yV. K); Skelmanthorpe {B.M.)\ Skipwith 

 Common [C.D.A.)\ Thorne {G.T.P.). I believe the 

 Yorkshire form is entirely of the dark variety hrady- 

 porina Tr. 



Acronycta megacephala W.V. "A melanic form occurs 

 at Wheatley Wood, Doncaster " [H.H.C.) ; Everingham I 

 {J. Sumner); Methley (/. J^F.) ; Middlesbrough (T.^.Z.) ; 

 the larva feeds on aspen at Thorne {G. T.P.).
