804 Notes on the Rarei- Lepido'ptera. By G. Bolam. 



Cymaiopkora flavicornis. L. 



The larvae of this also occurs, not uncommonly with the last, on 

 birch at Kyloe and Newham Bog, and I have reared a fair series 

 of the moth. 



On 12th March 1896 I watched a female flying in the sunshine 

 at Kyloe, busily engaged in depositing her eggs on the outer shoots 

 of a birch tree. She laid the eggs singly, resting Just a moment, 

 and curling her body round so as generally to place them on the 

 under side of the branch. 



Bryophila perla. Fb. 

 Fairly numerous upon some parts of the old ramparts, and upon 

 other walls about the town ; also on the rocks at the Castle, Holy 

 Island. 



A crony eta inegacephala. Fb. 



A pupa, got under moss at sallow near Allerdean Mill, turned out 

 this moth on 12th June 1887. 



Let(ca?iza phragviitidis. Hb. 



A caterpillar, which is fairly numerous in the stems of the reeds 

 at Newham Bog, was considered by Mr J. T. Carrington to belong 

 to this species. I forwarded examples to him several years ago 

 now, and have often seen them since, but have not succeeded in 

 raising the moth. 



Nonagria fiilva. Hb. 



Appears to be a common and well distributed species over the 

 district. I have taken it in plenty in many different localities, 

 sometimes quite near to the town. It flies, just before dusk, in 

 moist or boggy places about the beginning of September, and if 

 knocked to the ground, looses no time in disappearing amongst the 

 roots of the coarse herbage near which it is generally found. 



Nonagria fyphcc. Esp. 



In addition to the Scremerston and Ancroft stations for this fine 

 species, which I previously recorded, there is a flourishing colony 

 amongst the bull-rushes {Typha latifolia) in the old pond at White- 

 dam Head, within the Borough of Berwick. 



Heliophobus popidaris. Fb. 

 Only one taken here, and that came to light on 4th September 1882. 



Cerigo cytherea. Fb. 

 Several specimens have been taken in Berwick, and on the coast 

 near Scremerston and Ross it is not uncommon. It comes freely to 

 sugar on the links about the middle of July.
