16 REVIEW—LEPIDOPTERA OF LANCASHIRE AND CHESHIRE. 
Yorkshire as 1,341. And this closeness in numbers is at the present 
time still more marked than even the two lists show, for since the 
publication of the Yorkshire list in 1883—omitting Zrastria fuscula, 
the record of which I think needs confirmation, and regarding 
Scoparia ingratalis as a form of S. pyralalis—the following nineteen 
species have been added to it:—Znomos autumnaria, Melanippe 
unangulata, Heliothis peltigera, Spilodes palealis, *Scopdria atomalts, 
Tortrix diversana, Phoxopteryx siculana, Phoxopteryx diminutana, 
Lobesia servillana, Eupeacilia dubitana, Semasta tanthinana, Depres- 
saria weirella, Gelechia tetragonella, G. albiceps, Dasycera oliviella, 
Laverna phragmitella, L. raschkiella, Lithocolletis sorbi, and Ne ee 
serelia. This makes the present Yorkshire total 1,360. ut the 
extraordinary closeness of the results in lepidopterological na in 
the three counties will be best seen by a comparison of the numbers 
in the various orders, as follows :—

This is wonderfully close, and shows that the numbers of species 
known to occur in the two areas are practically the same, for although, 
the author paid as much attention to lepidoptera of late years as he 
has to coleoptera, would in all probability have been omitted. 
The nomenclature adopted is continental, which we think is 
a mistake, for it is a nomenclature probably little used by British 
lepidopterists, and we should hope not likely to become so. Apart 
from this, we.have every praise for this very useful fe work.—G.T.P. 
. This i is doubtless only a form of S. anrbiguatlis, bad as it is given as distinct in 
the Lancashire and Cheshire list, it is included here for more accurate comparison
