2366 Insects. 



PYRALID.E. 



Margaritia cinctalis. Several, in a clover field. 



TORTRICIDjE. 



Pseudotomia trauniana. One, on the wing. 

 Anchylopera derasana. One. 



Carpocapsa ccecimaculana, Dup. One, on the wing. 

 Ablabia quadripunctana. Several, among reeds. 



YPONOMEUTIDjE. 



Anacampsis terrella. Abundant. 

 Anacampsis guttifera. One, on a Scotch fir. 

 Argyromiges nivella. One, on the wing. 

 Argyromiges spartifoliella. Common, among broom. 

 Argyromiges Clerckella. One. 



TINEID.E. 



Ilythia sociella. In houses. 



Eudorea crateegella, Hub. One, in a crevice of the bark of an Acacia : Westwood 

 makes this synonymous with mercurella of Linneus, but Zeller preserves them as dis- 

 tinct. 



Crambus arbustorum. Four, among broom. 



Crambus pinetellus. Several, at sugar. 



Crambus cerusellus. The male of this species occurred in abundance, but I met 

 with only one female. 



alucituxe. 



Pterophorus rhododactylus. One. 



The above, together with the large quantity of Agrophila sulphuralis before men- 

 tioned (Zool. 2199), are some of the best of my captures in the neighbourhood of 

 Brandon : it is indeed a rich and favoured locality, and well worthy of further ex- 

 ploration. — J. H. Dunning ; Elmwood Lodge, Leeds. 



Record of the Rarer Lepidopterous Insects occurring in the Neighbourhood of Hud- 

 dersfeld in 1847-8.— 



Papiliones. Polyommatus Argiolus may not unfrequently be seen during the 

 month of May hovering over the tops of hollies, on the leaves of which it feeds in the 

 larva state. 



Sphinges. Several of this tribe have* occurred in this neighbourhood. Macro- 

 glossa stellatarum, which — as its specific name implies — feeds, in the caterpillar state, 

 on some of our stellate plants, particularly the genus Galium ; Chcerocampa Celerio, 

 already recorded (Zool. 1653) ; Sphinx Convolvuli and S. Ligustri. A fine specimen 

 of Acherontia Atropos was brought to me in June last, which had been taken while at 

 rest on a corn-stack. Ino Statices— by no means so exclusive a feeder as its specific 

 name would lead us to imagine — appears withes about the beginning of June, flying 

 about the heads of the common clover (Trifolium pra tense). 



Bombyces. The moors in the neighbourhood furnish examples of Saturnia Car- 

 pini. Cycnia mendica is common about Huddersfield, frequenting marshy places 

 during the month of May : the caterpillar of this singular species feeds on various 

 aquatic plants. Drepana falcula (removed by Boisduval to its present station) was 

 this year taken at rest ou the bole of a beech. 



Noctuee. A few specimens of Ceropaeha flavicornis were attracted to the sugar in
