I have now come to a close with 
the Geomdrina, and, to avoid taking 
up too much space I have merely put 
down their names and stated whether 
they occur here in numbers or not. 
I have avoided saying anything about 
the larvre, as I see it would only be 
a repetition of what has been written 
by others before. In the case of L. 
Petraria I do not mean to sag that 
the larva feeds on Sloe, but only to 
give a hint to those who may have 
the larva, to try that food plant. I 
have also to remark that many species 
which I have called common may not 
notv be so here, for 1 find that insects 
generally have been far less common 
during the last three years than for- 
merly. 
Note on the larva of T. Scolueforme. 
Many of the readers of the “ Entomo- 
logist ” are aware that I have been 
endeavouring to obtain this larva, 
since there was a doubt thrown upon 
my exhibition of its pupa case at the 
Meeting of the Northern Entomologi- 
cal Society at Staley Bridge, July 28. 
1862. It is with great pleasure that 
I now announce that 1 have secured 
it, ami that its habits are quite differ- 
ent from what they are reported to be 
in the “ Zoologist. ’ ’ 
I have made drawings and descrip- 
tions of it, and as soon as it is full fed 
will complete and publish its habits 
and economy for the benefit of all. 
In the meantime I may say that it 
feeds exclusively in the Bark of the 
Birch, — not in the wood. I have also- 
sent larvae to Mr. Buekl.r, who has 
now figured almost all the larvae of 
the large moths in England, and he 
has made a most beautiful and ac- 
curate drawing of it, — far surpassing 
my own, which will be exhibited at 
the next meeting of the Northern En- 
tomological Socictj'. C. S. Gkegson.

Aspilates sacraria. This pretty 
species was not uncommon at Lisbon 
and Gibraltar lust October. In its 
habits it was local, being found only 
amongst the stems of withered grass 
growing in waste places on the sides 
of hills at a moderate elevation. Any- 
one who has clambered up the rock of 
Gibraltar in October could not have 
failed to have observed the state of 
vegetation then, — everything parched 
up and only patches of dry grass left 
here and there between the stones; in 
these patches Sacraria dwelt and fiit-
