until I found the larvae on some 
Yerbena plants that were near. 
The larvae were very fine. They 
will eat anything, but they pre- 
fer Dock and Groundsel or cab- 
bage. The pupa should be kept 
quite dry, as the least damp kills 
them. 
Dasypolia Templi. Often taken on 
rubble heaps. 
Miselia Oxyacanthce. Frequent on 
sugar and at flowers. 
Agriopis Aprilina. Common at 
sugar. 
Phlogophora Meticulosa. Yery com- 
mon. 
lEuplexia lucipara. Common. Larva 
on nettle. 
Aplecta fferbida. Frequent at Ivy. 
A. nebulosa. Common. Larva on 
dock and Sallow. 
A. tincta. Hot common. 
A. advena. Rarely, 
ffadena protea. Rather freely. 
II dentina. Common. 
IT. chenopodii. Frequent. 
Iff. oleracea. One of our commonest 
Noctuce. A pest to the Dahlia 
grower. 
Iff. pisi. Common. 
iff. thalassina. Commonly taken 
here. 
iff. W-latinum. Not common. 
Larva on Fern and Broom . Also 
on potato haulers. 
Xylocampa Lithorhiza. Commonly 
taken in Spring at the bottoms 
of trees. 
( Calocampa Exoleta. Rather common 
at sugar. I once thought I had 
a great prize when I found this 
beautiful green larva, but was 
sorely chagrined when Exoleta 
made its debut. 
Xylina Rhholitha. Taken frequently. 
X. Semibrunnea. Rarely met with. 
X. Petrificata. Was once of frequent 
occurrence here, but like many 
other species, is becoming rare. 
Cucullia Verbasci. Common. Mostly 
in the larva state, on Mullein. 
C. Scrophularia. Yery rare. 
C. Absinthii. Rarely. 
C. Ch amomillce. Not common. Larva 
on wild Chammomile; very 
uncertain in their appearance. 
Some seasons I have taken great 
numbers and then for some years 
hardly seen any. 
To be continued 
Cleora Glabraria. From an article 
in last weeks “ Entomologist” we are 
led to infer that Cleora Glabraria is 
not only a birch feeder, but, what is 
still more unlikely, an autumnal 
feeding larva. I trust the Rev. 
gentleman will be satisfied that in 
the open air it is truly lichenivorous, 
and that Stainton in his “Manual” 
is decidedly correct, not only in des- 
cription, but correct also as to time ; 
such attacks upon the “ Manual” as 
have been admitted into the pages of 
the “ Zoologist ” and other works, 
can be attributed to errors arising only 
from such conclusions. 
Glabraria is plentiful in the North, 
and is confined to oak and Birch 
woods where lichen abounds, yet it 
does not confine itself to such locali-
