84 ASH : LEPIDOPTERA AT SKIPWITH IN 1894. 
satellitia all swarmed, as did also Anchocelis litura; but A. pistacina 
was very scarce, and no others of the genus turned up. Calocampa 
exoleta was also fairly common, and continued to put in an appear- 
ance till Nov. 11th. My last night’s sugaring was on Nov. zoth. 
The most noteworthy point, as regards the macro-lepidoptera, 
was the early appearance of Azarta myrtilli, of which I found a good 
specimen, at rest on heather, on April 21st. The insect continued 
out till June, by which time only an occasional wasted specimen was 
to be seen. But on July 14th it was out again in splendid condition, 
and was fairly abundant right through the month; small larve being 
obtainable at the same time. The following lists will give further 
details of the various species. 
Among the micro-lepidoptera I have done comparatively little, as 
my time was pretty well taken up with the macros, though I noted 
all that came in my way. I append a list of the species taken, with 
localities. Next season I hope to give a better account of this group. 
Altogether the species recorded this year are—— macros 219, 
micros 127, making a total, of all orders, 346 species.
