Insects. 2179 



Alcis consortaria. Two, trunks of oaks, at sugar. 



Tephrosia extersaria. Two, at sugar. 



Ephyra orbicularis One, on a fence near Lyndhurst, May 20. 



Eurymene dolabraria. Five, trunks of oaks in the forest. 



Harpalyce Silaceata. One, on a fence near Lyndhurst. 



Lobophora viretata. One, ditto. 



Lobophora sexalisata. One, ditto. 



Eupithecia variegata. Seven, trunks of oaks in the forest. 



Chlorissa viridata. Of this very beautiful species, which I hear has not been taken 

 for many years, I was fortunate enough to meet with forty specimens, about half of 

 which are fine, and in that condition it is a lovely thing, the pink border showing the 

 green off to great advantage : it frequents heathy places in the forest, near Wallace's 

 enclosure, and was generally obtained by beating the heath. I was not able to ascer- 

 tain its right time of flight. 



Macaria notata. One, flying at dusk in an inclosure. 



Margaritia angustalis. Fifteen, flying over heath and fern in the forest. 



Nola strigulalis. About two dozen, on trunks of oaks and on fences. 



Anacampsis alternella. Three, trunks of oaks. 



Batia lutarella. Old thorns. 



Phycita bistriga. Two, old thorns. 



Tinea tapetzella. On an old oak. 



Lampronia rupella. Two, old oaks. 



The sugar was almost useless, nothing scarcely but a few of Thyatira batis and 

 Acronycta rumicis, and those previously mentioned, came. 



Larva were most abundant, particularly from the 18th to the 22nd of the month, 

 and if I had had convenience for feeding them I should have taken great numbers ; 

 as it was I was obliged to select only a few of those that I considered the best : amongst 

 them were Catocala sponsa and promissa, Petasia cassinea, Hylophila prasinana, Cle- 

 oceris Oo, Tethea ridens, Pcecilocampa populi, Dasychira fascelina, Lithosia quadra, 

 and others that I am unacquainted with. 



COLEOPTERA, ETC. 



Tarus angularis. Seven, under turfs, Lyndhurst Common. 



Pcecilus dimidiatus. Four, gravel-pits. 



Cleonus nebulosus. Four, ditto. 



Elater sanguineus. Five, under bark, stumps of oaks. 



Elater ustulatus. One, beat out of whitethorn. 



Serica brunnea. One, ditto. 



Brachytarsus varius. One, beat out of an oak. 



Leptura abdominalis. Sixteen, beat out of oaks and whitethorn, and on blossom. 



Leptura prceusta. Eighteen, ditto. 



Clythra tridentata. Two, whitethorn blossoms. 



Cicada anglica. Beat out of whitethorn. 



There was scarcely any bloom on the whitethorn this year, which caused great dis- 

 appointment to me, as I expected to reap a rich harvest of Coleoptera from its at- 

 tractive powers. 



My stay at Lyndhurst was from the 11th to the 31st of May, and the weather was
