This paper constitutes the commencement of a complete 
synopsis of the Lepidoptcra of the Department of Calvados, 
each species being briefly described, with indications of a few of 
its more important synonyms and varieties, and of the food- 
plants of its larva. To each group, family, and genus the author 
has given a table of the characters of the subordinate groups 
or species included in it. The present portion includes the 
Rhopaloceraj Sphingidce, Sesiidce, and Zygcenidce. Considering 
the extent of the district, the number of species found in it 
is remarkable, especially in tlie case of the Rhopaloceraj 73 
species of Butterflies being here cited, whilst the whole of 
Britain can only muster 64.
