A PRELIMINARY LIST OF THE INSECT-FAUNA OF 

 MIDDLESEX. 



Compiled by T. D. A. Cockerell, F.Z.S., F.E.S. 

 (Continued from p. 160.) 



Shortly before leaving England I received three lists of 

 Lepidoptera, containing many interesting records, as follows : — 



(26.) H. Vaughan. A MS. list of Lepidoptera taken in 

 Middlesex north of London, within six miles of Charing Cross. 

 These insects were nearly all taken by Mr. Vaughan, Dr. H. 

 Guard Knaggs, or Mr. Henry Bartlett. Many of the localities 

 are now destroyed. This valuable list includes localities for 

 many rarities, and the following species additional to the 

 published lists : — 



Pararge egeria, L., Hornsey (Vaughan). 



Nudaria senex, Hb., Hammersmith Marshes {Knaggs). 



Drepana falcataria, L. (as P.falcula), Bishop's Wood, Hamp- 

 stead (Bartlett). 



Notodonta dromedarius, L., Bishop's Wood (Bartlett). 



Cymatophora or, Fb., Bishop's Wood (Vaughan). 



Leucania obsoleta, Hb., Hammersmith Marshes (Knaggs). 



Neuria reticulata, Vill. (as saponarice). Bishop's Wood, one in 

 1865 (Vaughan). 



Qrammesia trigrammica, Hufn. (as trilinea), vars. bilinea, 

 Hb., and semifuscans. Bishop's Wood (Vaughan). 



Agrotis exclamationis Ya,Y. plaga, St., Bishop's Wood (Vaughan). 



Aplecta occulta, L., field adjoining Maldon Crescent, one 

 specimen about 1860 (Knaggs). A. tincta, Brahm, Hampstead 

 (Knaggs). 



Concerning Leucophasia sinapis Mr. Vaughan writes : " The 

 late Col. C. J. Cos informed me that when he was a boy he had 

 captured examples in Bishop's Wood." 



(27.) H. Rowland-Brown. A MS. list of Noctuse observed at 

 Harrow Weald, Middlesex. The following species are additional 

 to the published lists : — 



Miana liter osa, Haw., quoted with a query. 



Polia chi, L. 



Trigonophora Jiammea, Esp. 



Hadena adusta, Esp. 



The total number of Noctuse in this Harrow- Weald list is 73. 



(28.) J. M. Adye. A MS. list of Lepidoptera taken at 

 Ealing and Willesden. The two following are additions to the 

 lists given : — 



Bomhyx quercus, L., near Ealing. This species was quoted 

 for Middlesex with a query on p. 68. 



Vasypolia templi, Thnb., one at Baling.
