162 Nocturnal Macro-Lepidoptera. 



Mare, Vazon, whilst searching for plants, Oct. loth, 1874, it 

 had just emerged from the chrysalis, as its wings were yet 

 limp. About a week later I searched the reeds at night with a 

 lantern, and secured 8 specimens ; most of them were rather 

 worn. 



68. Gortyna Ochracea (The frosted orange), G. The 

 larvae are to be found in the stems of the marsh thistle. 



69. Hydrsecia Micacea (The rosy rustic), G. One speci- 

 men, bred by Mrs. Boley. 



70. Axylia putris (The flame), G. and S. Not uncom- 

 mon. 



71. Xylophasia lithoxylea (The light arches), G. and S. 

 Commoner in Sark than in Guernsey. 



72. X. Monoglypha (The Dark arches), G. and S. So 

 abundant as to be quite a nuisance at sugar. 



73. Aporophyla Australis (The feathered brindle), G. The 

 larvae common on the sandhills, near l'Ancresse, in the spring. 



74. Heliophobus Hispidus (The beautiful gothic), G. 

 Several specimens taken at sugar in September. 



75. Cerigo Matura (The straw underwing), G. Not very 

 abundant. 



76. Luperina Testacea (The flounced rustic), G. Not un- 

 common.

79. Apamea Basilinea (The rustic shoulder knot), G. 

 Not uncommon. 



80. A. Gemina (The dusky brocade), G. I have taken 

 several. 



81. A. Didmya (The common rustic), G. and S. This is 

 by far the commonest moth met with at sugar in Guernsey. It 

 is very variable in the markings on the wings.
