iiOTES OiJ SOME UNCOMMON LEt>lDOP^EtlA 233 



CcELENA HAwoBTHii. Only One has been got, but it must be 



common at Threepwood Moss. 

 Stilbia anomala. This seems a sub-alpine species. Five or 



six have been taken here. 

 Agrotis suffusa and A. saucia are both scarce. There is a very 



great absence of the Agrotis genus here. 

 Mania matjra. This moth appears to be very rare here. 

 Anchocelis lunosa. This is the first season this moth has been 



taken, comes to sugar. 

 Dasypolia templi. Several males have been got here at light. 

 Epunda lutulenta. a few of this moth have been taken here, 



but they are all of a very pale type. 



NIGRA. About fifty have been taken this season at sugar. 



This is one of our best insects. I often wonder why it has 

 never been got in Berwickshire. 



Hadena glauca. Several of this rare insect have been taken 

 here. It seems well distributed in this locality. The proper 

 time and place to look for it, have however still to be 

 learned, but I have no doubt it will some day be found in 

 goodly numbers. 



Oalocampa vetusa. Very scarce, but 0. exoleta occurs in great 

 profusion, comes freely to sugar. 



Plusia bractia. One or two, but very rare. 



interrogationis. Larva found on most of the hills here, 



Phytometra ^nea. Fairly common. 



Venusia cambric a. Not uncommon on heaths in this neigh- 

 bourhood. 

 Macaria liturata. a few have been taken here, but it is a 



most difficult insect to detect. 

 ScoDioNA BELGiARiA. A good many of this moth have been bred 



this season from larva got on the heather. 

 Abraxas grossulariata. Some fine varieties have been got 



here, but it is curious they seem to follow a certain pattern. 

 Hybernia atjrantiaria. Not very scarce here. 

 Larentia olivata. This moth seems to be fairly common here. 



The Pugs have not been taken up here so there are very 



few named as yet. 

 Emmelesia ericetata. Very common on some of the moors. 

 CiDARiA siLACEATA. A good many of this moth have been taken 



here, there is abundance of the food plant, Willow Herb.
