THE WEEKLY ENTOMOLOGIST. 
A. Atropos, The larva of this fine 
species was very common three years 
ago. A great many larva) were 
found by the country people about 
York, and several very fine specimens 
bred. 
S. Convolvuli, Rare. 
“ Ligustri, Not common. The 
larva is rather common at Pocklington 
near York. 
D. Galii, Rare. The Rev. J. D. 
J. Preston, has a specimen taken at 
Askham Bryan. 
C. Porcellus, Rare. 
“ Elpenor, Not very common. I 
have seen this species at sugar. 
“ M. Stellatarum, Not common. 
S. Fuciformis, One specimen has 
been bred. 
“ Bomhjliformis, This species 
used to be common at Langwith and 
Stockton, but has been very rare 
during the last two or three seasons. 
,S. Culiciformis, Rare 
“ Fonnicceformis, This species wag 
found by a boy near York, two years 
ago. 
“ Tipuliformis, Common, in gar- 
dens. 
“ Sphegiformis, Very rare. 
“ Bembcciformn, Not common. 
C. Lignipcrda, Common. T took 
a specimen at sugar last year. 
JI. Ucctus, Common. 
“ Sylvinus, Common. 
“ Velleda, Abundant at Beverley, 
in the East Riding. 
“ Jlumuli, Abundant. 
P. Statices, Common. 
“ Gory on, Common in the East 
Riding, near Beverley. It was found 
last year by Messrs Richardson and 
Bishoprick, flying very briskly in the 
hot sunshine. M. Guenee returns it 
as Geryon, but it seems to me a much 
smaller species than that found at 
Brighton. 
Z. Lonicercc, Abundant. 
“ Filipendulce, Not common. Mr. 
Stainton gives this species as common 
at York. During five years I have 
not seen ten specimens, and, as I 
know no-one in York who has seen 
more, I think it cannot be considered 
common. 
N. Cucullatella, Common. 
N. Senex, Common. 
“ Mundana, Not common. 
C. Miniata, ditto 
L. Mesomelia, Common, — some 
years abundant. 
“ Ilelveola. I have taken this 
species every season for the last four 
years. Two years ago I took a female 
on the wing, and got some eggs. I 
fed the larva) from August until April 
when I lost them through the inquis- 
itiveness of a servant, who took the 
muslin off the jar I had them in, and 
let them all escape. The larva 
seems very different from the known 
description, for it is of a lemon 
yellow color, mottled with ‘ Licheny’ 
green and black. They feed best on 
the finest Lichens. 
Z. Complanula, Not very common. 
G. Rubricollis, Common at Ca- 
wood. 
F. Jacob ew, Larva very abundant 
some years. 
E. Russula, Common. 
C. Plantaginis, Not common.
