band, several having- second, third, and fourth spots joined

Nudaria senex. Askham Bogs, 14th July (W. Hewett). 

 Nudaria tnundana. Larvae in the utmost profusion ; every 



stone I lifted had on it from one to six or more, Keighley 



(A. Broadley). 



Lithosia mesomella. Common at Sandburn Common (W. 

 Hewett). 



Euthemonia russula. Strensall Common (J. Hawkins). 



Arctia mendica. Askham Bog- (W. Hewett and W. Tunstall). 



Arctia lubricipeda. A beautiful example of the var. radiata, 

 a female, obtained at rest on a wall of some farm building-s 

 near the sea-wall at Withernsea by J. Boult, who also 

 secured at the same time and place a female variety 

 resembling var. eboraci. 



Liparis salicis. Several specimens bred from larvae obtained 

 on poplar at Beverley (W. Johnson). One larva taken off 

 poplar at Worsborough, 8th August (A. Whittaker). 



Orgyia antiqua. Larvae swarmed at Rotherham (C. Young). 



Demas coryli. Larvae at Grassington (F. Booth and J.

Eriogaster /anestris. Larvae very common in many parts of 

 Yorkshire ; Melbourne, Wheldrake, Huntington, Sandburn, 

 Strensall, etc. (W. Hewett). 



Odonestis potatoria. From a large number of larvae of this 

 species obtained in the East Riding I bred some beautiful 

 dark females, several of which resembled very closely the 

 male in colouration ; I also bred numerous intermediate 

 varieties, and my experience with this species goes to prove 

 that the females are much more variable than the males.
