94 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



not met with the species lately in that locality. A specimen was 

 once taken on a gas lamp at Finchley Station, G.N.R., by Mr. 

 E G. Meek " {South). See also Entom. 1878, p. 253. 



Platyptilia gonodactyla, Schiff., Dalston {Prout) ; Mill Hill, 

 Harrow {South). P. bertrami, EossL, near Mill Hill Station 

 {South). See also Entom. 1885, p. 97. 



Amhlyptilia acanthodactyla, Hb., Chiswick, two larvae on wild 

 geranium {Alfred Sich). 



Mimceseoptilus bipunctidactylus, Haw., often common at Mill 

 Hill; occurs among the herbage in the hedgerows bordering 

 meadows {South). M. pterodactylus, L., between Pinner and 

 Rickmansworth {South). 



(Edematophorus lithodactylus, Tr., Isleworth {Miss A. S. 

 Fenn, fide F. G. Fenn) ; Bedford Park, on the railway-bank 

 {CklL). This species must be rare or absent in the northern 

 part of the county, as Mr. South remarks that he has not met 

 with it. 



Pterophoriis monodactylus , L., Hampstead, Kingsbury, Har- 

 row, Mill Hill, very common {South). 



Aciptilia pentadactyla, L., in the same localities as P. mono- 

 dactylus {South) ; Bedford Park {Fenn); Isleworth {Fenn) ; Dalston 

 {Prout); Finchley {Shepherd); Harefield, common {Wcdl). In 

 Entom. 1883, p. 27, Mr. South mentions only Calystegia sepium 

 as the food-plant of this species. At Beckenham, in Kent, 

 I used to find the larvae abundantly on Convolvulus arvensis, which 

 is perhaps the more usual food-plant in the London district. 



Alucita hexadactyla, L., Harefield, common {Wall) ; Mill Hill 

 {South); Tufnell Park {Shepherd). Mr. South writes {in litt., 

 Feb., 1891) : — " Aciptilia galactodactyla, Hb., ought most cer- 

 tainly to occur in the county, but so far I have not met the 

 species in any stage." A. galactodactyla has been recorded from 

 Kent and Surrey, and probably some other of the bordering 

 counties.
