Captures of Lepidoptera near Huddersfield, Sc.—The following is a list of some 
of the Lepidopterous insects I have come across in this neighbourhood during the 
season of 1870. Where the date is given, it refers to the first day on which the } 
species was noticed :—Colias Edusa, a male specimen was taken at Shepley by a 
man named William Bennett, who gave it, unset, to me; I believe it is eleven 
years since a specimen was taken here previously. Macroglossa stellatarum. Sesia 
philanthiformis, 8th July, bred from pups sent to me from Scotland by Dr. White. 
Amphydasis betularia, unusually common and distributed. Cabera exanthemaria, 
Prince Wood, not a very common species here. Scodiona belgiaria, 23rd April, 
larvze common on ling; 4th June, imagos at rest on bare parts of the moor; the 
males are very conspicuous, females approach nearer to the colour of the ground ; 
Crosland and Greetland heaths. Larentia multistrigaria, 2nd April, Black Fir 
wood and Grimescar. Emmelesia decolorata, larvee in seed-capsules of Lychnis.” 
EBupithecia valerianata, 7th June, bred from pupw sent to me from Derby. E£. 
fravinata, 30th July, larva not uncommon on ash at Birkby and Grimescar. H. 
subnotata, 24th June, very plentiful, Clare Hill and Birkby. £. absynthiata, 29th | 
June, bred from larve sent to me by Mr. G. B. Longstaff. Lobophora hewap- | 
terata, bred from larve sent to me from Scarborough. Melanippe galiata, 28th 
June, very abundant at Grimescar, where Galiwm sawatile grows; the females 
deposited their eggs freely if a small sprig of this plant were placed in each chip 
box. Scotosia dubitata, 6th September, not uncommon, Clare Hill and Whitley 
Lower. Cidaria miata, 18th August, bred from pups sent to me from Richmond ; 
I entirely failed in my endeavours to keep the females alive to obtain eggs. O, | 
prunata, 26th July, Clare Hill. ©. populata, common amongst Vaccinium myrtillus 
at Linthwaite. Tanagra cherophyllata, plentiful in hay fields. Cilia spinula, 6th 
June. Pygwra bucephala, common and distributed ; this species, though usually 
considered universally common, I have found to be by no means so here, until this 
season, when it occurred in gardens even close to the town. Nonagria lutosa, 4th. 
October, Clare Hill. Hydracia nictitans, 2nd August, common at sugar, Clare 
Hill and Prince Wood. Chareas graminis, 8rd August, near Clare Hill. Apamea) 
oculea, 6th May, larve in stems of Dactylis glomerata (cocks’ foot grass). Miana) 
fasciuncula, very abundant at sugar. WM. literosa, 22nd July, at sugar. MM. arcuosa, ,
