“ extremely local, being confined to one open spot in Beech 
Wood, but very common there.” In the Zoologist for July I 
last, page 4370, Mr. Harpur Crewe records having bred 
this species from larvas found on Gentiana campestris in 
August and September, in company with the larvae of E, 
piperata . This species is figured by Hiibner, H.-S., and 
Freyer; it is rather a large species, and might be well placed; 
between E . Callunaria and E . subnotata. 
Eupithecia Pimpinellata, Hiibner, (distinct from 
Austerata), was bred in 1851 by the Rev. J. S. Henslow,|
