302 Notes on the Rarer Lepidoptera. By G. Bolam. 



Coremm propugnata. Fb. 



Although this moth is recorded from Tyneside, I am not aware that 

 it has previously been taken in our district. I was fortunate enough 

 to take a fine specimen in Fenwick Wood, on 16th June 1895; it 

 was beaten from hazel. 



Coremia unidentaria. Haw. 

 This is another good record, which, though I believe it is included 

 by Selby in his Twizell list, does not appear to have been taken by 

 anyone else in the district, nor, so far as I am aware, in Northum- 

 berland. My only specimen I took upon the wing at Newham Bog, 

 on 25th May 1893. 



Cidaria psittacata. Schiff. 



Has occurred two or three times in Berwick; but appears to be 

 much less common than its relative, C miata. 



Cidaria corylata. Thnb. 

 I have taken this plentifully at Kyloe and at Newham Bog, and 

 have had numbers of the moths in the middle of May, from larvse 

 collected in October. The variety albo-crenata is not very uncommon. 



Cidaria suffiimata. Hb. 

 Is fairly numerous in May, and the variety piceata is not uncommon. 

 I have found it at Scremerston, Allerdean Mill, Middle Ord, and on 

 sea-banks north of Berwick. 



Cidaria silaceata. Hb. 

 Does not appear to be generally common, but I have taken it at 

 Marshall Meadows, Newham Bog, Fenwick Wood, and near Ayton, 

 from 25th May till the middle of July, no doubt double-brooded. 



Eubolia cervinata. Schiff. 

 An abundant species rouni Berwick, where its curious larvae may 

 be found in plenty on mallows growing on the old town walls. 



Eubolia palumbaria. Fb. 

 Another numerous and well distributed species. 



Platypteryx lacertula. Schiff. 



This is another good addition to our local lists, and seems to be 

 quite new to the district. I first met with the caterpillars at Kyloe 

 Wood in the autumn of 1891, and had the moth the following July, 

 but have since that date found it not uncommonly there in both the 

 larval and perfect state. The larva feeds upon birch, where, like
