THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 71 



worth calling attention to ; and, to keep these notes within 

 bounds, I shall have again to pass over all slight variation, 

 naming only such as are striking or belonging to species not 

 subject to variation. 



Rtimia crataBgaria. Of this species I have one yellow, 

 without the usual brown markings or the central stigmatal 

 mark ; one having all the usual markings on a whitish citron 

 ground; and one in which the deep colour runs along the 

 costa, forming a streak of brown, the hind wings having a 

 distinct central fascia. 



Ennomos lunaiia. One specimen fine coloured and normal, 

 except one hind wing, which is free from colour or markings. 



E. angularia. A female immaculate creamy; two females 

 citron, with the central band fainily indicated, normal ; one 

 female with citron central band, dark triangular base on the 

 costa, apex on the hind margin. This is a variable species, 

 and I possess a fine series, bred from eggs kindly sent to me 

 by Mr. Hind. 



E. fiiscantaria. One specimen very dark. 



E. tiliaiia. One small female, measuring about ten lines, 

 is the only variety I ever saw of this species. 



Crocallis elinguaria. One male, with broad central band 

 dark. 



Himera pennaria. One male having three distinct fasciae 

 across the fore wings; a female with central mark contracted, 

 forming a narrow band ; a female just contrary-wise, forming 

 a very broad central band, much expanded on the costa. A 

 rather variable species. 



Angerona prunaria. A very variable species, which does 

 not occur in our northern district, and of which I have few 

 specimens. One male deep rich brown, with rich orange 

 central mark, and one large female light buff irrorate (ob- 

 tained by purchase) are the most striking varieties 1 possess. 



Micsia belgiaria. One dark male, and one large female 

 in which the central fascia forms a good greyhound's head, 

 the base of the head being on the costa, are all the variation 

 1 have seen amongst thousands of specimens examined. 



Fidonia piniaria. Of this variable species I have a few 

 extreme varieties. 



F. atomaria. Of this abundant species, in which no two 

 specimens can be said to be exactly alike, yet rarely varies
