300 Notes on the Rarer Le'pidoptera. By G. Bolain. 



Acidalia incanaria. Hb. 



Very common in gardens, in July, about St. John's tea plant. 

 Berwick, Scremerston, Ancroft, Alnwick, etc. 



Scodiona belgiaria. Hb. 

 My only specimen was taken at Adderstone Hall in 1888 ; but it 

 has been recorded from several of the Berwickshire and Roxburgh- 

 shire moors. 



Hybernia aurajitiaria. Esp. 

 I bred three or four of this moth in 1887, from larvae got on birch 

 at Allerdean Mill and Abbey St. Bathans. The moths emerge in 

 October. It seems fairly distributed and not hard to obtain in the 

 caterpillar state. 



Anisopteryx csscularia. Schiff. 



I took one Hying near Berwick in February 1891 ; it does not 

 appear to be a common insect in the district. 



Cheimatobia boreata. HId. 



Was plentiful about the borders of the moors at Alwinton in the 

 autumn of 1893. 



Larentia niultistrigaria. Haw. 



Taken in one or two localities near Berwick, and probably not rare. 

 It was abundant on the moors at Alwinton in April 1894. 



Larentia oUvata. Bork. 

 My only specimen is from Adderstone Hall, where Mr John Bruce 

 had several specimens in 1884. Selby records it from Twizell, 

 which adjoins Adderstone. 



Enunelesia alcheinillata. L. 

 Not uncommon, about the end of June, along the sea-banks north 

 of Berwick, and I have noticed it in plenty at Coldingham, and 

 amongst the Cheviots at Langleyford. 



Emnielesia albiilata. Schiff. 

 Occurs, along with the last, upon our sea-banks, but perhaps rather 

 less frequently. I have also seen it at Langleyford. 



Einmelesia ericetata. Curt. 

 This is another of the pretty little "Rivulets," which I have taken 

 in the valley at Langleyford. The larvae feed on the Eyebright.
