The Naturalist. 



has been well blown up by poxDular writers, so I need not dilate upon 

 it. A remarkable and apterous locust, Hetrodes yupa^\ wMch presents, 

 on account of numerous spines, a most formidable front to the enemy, 

 is sure to attract a stranger's attention.

CAPTURES OF LEPIDOPTERA IN THE BINGLEY 

 DISTRICT IN 1883. 



By E. P. P. BUTTERFIELD. 



S. conspicualis. In looking over the various species of Scoparia 

 taken in this district this season, I find I have one S. conspicualis, but 

 do not remember the exact locality where I got it. 

 A. gej'nlngana. Common on Blackhills. — I found this species quite 



plentiful near the Shooting house on Harden Moor. 

 P. mixtana. Scarce on Harden Moor. 



P. conparana. Common, Beckfoot ; and also Nab Wood, near 



Saltaire. 

 P. Schalleriana. Not common. 



P. Caledoiiiana. Common, Harden Moor ; abundant, Rombold's 

 Moor ; and I also saw it at the foot of Ingleborough, in August. 



P. Jiastiana. I am not quite sure that there was not an error in 

 recording this species for this locality, I took a few above Morton 

 on the Moor, last September, and sent one of them to Mr. Barrett 

 to name ; he named it Jiastiana, but it was much worn, and I now 

 think it might have been Caledoniana. 



D. Laeflingiaiia. One taken on Shipley Glen, by Mr. John Firth. — 

 I have not seen this species in the immediate neighbourhood. 



Z>. Torskaleana. One taken by my brother at Apperley Bridge, and 

 another by myself at Shipley Glen, are all that I know of in this 

 district. 



A . Conwayana. Only near Harden Beck. 



P. LecJieana. Scarce, Bingley Wood. 



P. p'lcana. Not uncommon on Blackhills. 



P. pralongana. Only once in a wood near Shipley Glen. 



P. sauciana. Common, Blackhills ; abundant in Harden Clough. — 



My brother also saw it on Pendle Hill last August. 

 S. dealhana. Common, Cottingley Wood. 

 C. politana. Common, Harden Moor and Barden. 



t Authority — Trimen.
