Scopariae, of which murana and crataegella were most common, of 
Phycids only Phycis ornatella, betulae, fusca, melanella and elutella 
were taken. At Macugnaga Sesia ichneumoniformis, conopiformis and 
bibionifonnis (?) were met with on the wing. 
Besides the Noctuids alluded to cymbalariae, 0., was taken on several 
occasions, but always singly, Agrotis ocellina, alpestris and corticea 
were frequent on flowers. Noctua dentina, proximo, Xylophasia latentia, 
Cncullia aster is, Hecatera chrysozona and others were found at rest on 
rocks. Abrostola tripartita , Dianthoecia capsophila, A. euphorbiae, and 
others occurred. M. bombyliformix was frequent, and Syntotnis phegea at 
times abundant. Nemeophila plantagims was rarely common, a black 
form was met with. Odd specimens of Notodonta camelina, Miana 
strirjilis, Gnophria rubricollis, and Z . bidentalis were taken. 
Of Tortrices Sdaphila penziana varied between bellana and coign- 
hounana without reaching the whiteness of the. one or the suffusion of 
the other. P. bipunctana wffs frequently common, though not so 
abundant as in Norway. S. alpicolana was rare, it is a very pleasing 
species. Aphelia arymtana was common as usual and in early July in 
fine condition. 
The remaining Tortricids and Tineids presented no species of note 
that I have identified. Mr. Barrett has taken some specimens for 
further investigation. I am indebted to Mr. Turner for comparing 
some of the species for me.
