Cilioi spinula and Notodonta trejpida in Kircudbrightshire. — In his interesting 
list of Eosshire Lepidoptera, Dr. F. Buclianau White mentions Platypteryx lacertula 
andfalcula as the only two Scottish Drepanulce. There are, however, at least 
three, as Cilix spinula is found in Kii-cudbrightshire. I found, under oak, last 
autumn, two pupae of Notodonta trepida in the same county, one of which emerged 
on the 3rd April. — W. Douglas Robinson, Edinburgh, 5th April, 1869. 
Lepidoptera captured in Morocco. — During the spring of the year 1868, I 
resided for two months (February, March, and beginning of April) in Tangier 
(Morocco) ; and although the state of my health did not permit me to devote much 
time or energy to entomological pursuits, still I made a point of capturing such 
insects of all orders as happened to fall in my way ; and thinking that a list of the 
Lepidoptera thus secured may not prove uninteresting to the readers of the Ento- 
mologist's Monthly Magazine, I have much pleasure in contributing the following, 
in which I have adopted the arrangement and nomenclature of Staudinger and 
Wocko's " Catalog der Lepidopteren Europa's und der angrenzenden Lander, 1861." 
Rhopalocera. 
FojpiUo Podalirius. — One specimen of the var. Feisthamelii (Dup.), taken in a 
deserted garden near Tangier beginning of April. 
Thais rumina (L.) — Of the typical form of this beautiful species I met with but 
two examj^les. The variety Medesicaste (111.) was common dm-ing the month 
of March in lanes in which the food- plants of the larva, the Aristolochim, were 
grovraig profusely, and I captured several fine and unusually large specimens. 
Pieris hrassicm (L.) — Very abundant both in the larva and imago state. 
„ ra^ce (L.) — Abundant. 
„ napi (L.) — Not common. 
„ Daplidice (L.) — I saw, but did not capture, several specimens of a Pieris, 
which I imagine must have been this species, early in February. 
Anthocliaris Belemia. — The var. Olauce (Hb.) not uncommon on waste land end of 
March. 
AnthochaHs Douei (Pierret). — The S occurred frequently throughout the months of 
February and March, The ? was very scarce, and I only obtained three 
specimens. Mr. A. G. Butler has pointed out to me that this species is the 
true Anthocha/ris Eupheno of Linnaeus, whose typical specimens were captured 
in Barhary, and whose description answers exactly to Pierrot's Douei, and to 
the specimens the occurrence of which I now record. A new name must 
now be assigned to the very distinct South European species which has hitherto 
represented A. Eupheno (L.) in our collections, and the name Douei (Pierret) 
must sink into a synonym for Anthocharis Eupheno (Linn.). (Vide ante p. 271). 
It is extremely probable that both species occur on the European continent. 
Colias Edusa (Fab.) — Common at the end of February on the Dar-al-CIow, a range 
of hills lying some twenty miles S.W. of Tangier. A few specimens taken 
close to Tangier a month later. 
Rhodocera rhamni (L.) — Common in February. 
5, Cleopatra (L.) — Ditto ditto. 
Thecla ruhi (L.)— Abundant ; March. 
Thestor Ballus (Fab.) — Common in the beginning of March ; its favourite habitat 
being rubbish-heaps near the town.
