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



Noctua trianguhnn. Hufn. 



The only one in ray cabinet was taken at sngar on the sea-banks 

 near Berwick, on 7th July 1887. 



Diantho'da ciicubali. Fues. 



One emerged, 19th June 1892, from a larvoo got on the Wbitadder 

 banks in the previous summer. 



Epimda viininalis. Fb. 



The pale glancons green caterpillars of this species are not at all 

 uncommon on sallows, in June, on the moors at Kyloe, and I have 

 taken the moth at Newham Bog. It is probably well distributed 

 over the district, as Mr Boyd had it from Cherrytrees. A single 

 example occurred at Berwick in 1889. 



Heliothis marginata. Fb. 



Comes freely to sugar at Cheswick Links from about the end of 

 June, and the larvae are sometimes very abundant there in the 

 autumn on Rest-harrow {Ononis arvensis) ; they vary in colour from 

 almost black to a very pale greyish green, and all cannibals. The 

 moth has also been taken occasionally at Berwick. 



Pliisia bractea. FId. 



I have seen three or four specimens which had been captured in 

 gardens in Berwick during the last ten years, but it seems to be 

 far from common. 



Phisia inlerrogaiionis. L. 



Occurs not uncommonly on the Kyloe Hills, especially about the 

 foot of the basaltic crags, and has also been taken by my breather 

 at Alwinton, on the Coquet. A specimen in my cabinet was captured 

 on the Berwick Cricket Ground in 1889. 



Stilbia anomala. Haw. 



Two or three examples were taken by Mr J. Bruce at Adderstone 

 Hall in 1886, one of which is in my collection. 



Phytomet7'a ccnea. Hb. 



I found this beautiful little moth flying in some numbers, in 

 the hoc sunshine, in Lord Armstrong's grounds at Cragside, on lOih 

 May 1896.
