Lepidoptera of Devon and Conmall.

The members of the genus Tcsniocampa are all vernal species. 
But, as the spring is early or late, so is their appearance. Some, 
however, have earlier habits than others. T. stahilis has come 
forth as early as the 5th of February, whilst its season, usually, is 
not much before March. T. munda, on the other hand, is not 
so hardy as some of its congeners, not appearing until about mid- 
March.
