 A HISTORY OF WARWICKSHIRE BoARMUN/E (continued) = Brandon, Princethorpe, etc. (Rugby lists) ; Wolford (W. C. E. Wheeler) Phasiane clathrata, L. Seems to be common in the southern parts of the county, but does not occur at all in the northern. Rugby (common, G. B. Longstaff, E.M.M. iii. 138, and Rugby lists) ; Warwick (1887, P. P. Baly) ; Wai- ford (W. C. E. Wheeler, Austen) ; Whitchurcb (L. C. Keighley-Peach) Perconia strigillaria, Hb. Mr. W. G. Blatch records this from Button Park. It must however be very rare there as I have heard of no other captures NOLIDjE Nola cucullatella, L. Probably generally common, though I have no records from the southern part of the county excepting in the Rugby lists confusalis, H. S. (cristulalis, Dup.) Coombe Wood, Coventry (G. H. Kenrick) ; Brandon Woods = Rugby (Rugby lists : practically the same as Coombe) ; Walfard (W. C. E. Wheeler) CYMBIDjE Hylophila prasinana, L. Common through- out the county ARCTIIDjE ARCTIIN^E Spilosoma mendica, Cl. Not common. Hampton-in-Arden (G. W. Wynn) ; Knowle (W. Kiss, etc.) ; Small Heath (Blatch Hand.) ; Rugby = Overs/ade, etc. (Rugby lists) ; Atherstone (C. Baker) ; Wolford (W. C. E. Wheeler) lubricipeda, L. Common everywhere menthastri, Esp. Phragmatobia fuliginosa, L. Not common. Sutton Park (C. ]. W., etc.) ; Knowle (Blatch Coll.) ; Wolford (W. C. E. Wheeler) ; Athenian (C. Baker) Parasemia plantaginis, L. Fairly common in Sutton Park ; and Mr. W. C. E. Wheeler says it is common in one locality at Wolford Diacrisia sanio, L. (russula, L.). Rare. Occurs occasionally in Sutton Park Arctia caja, L. Common everywhere Hipocrita jacobaeae, L. Rare ; and has not been taken anywhere near to Birmingham for many years. It is said that it used to be found at Saltley (Blatch Hand.) ; Rugby = Brandon Woods (Rugby lists = ' very rare, as is (continued) its food plant ; but it has certainly been taken at Brandon by L. Cum- ming,' N. V. Sidgwick) ; Atherstone (C. Baker); Walfard (W. C. E. Wheeler, Austen, etc.) LITHOSIIN^E Nudaria mundana, L. Not common. Rugby (Rugby lists) ; Walfard (W. C. E. Wheeler) Miltochrista miniata, Forst. Brandon Woods (Rugby lists). It is very rare in the midlands, but the records are pro- bably correct, as the name occurs in several lists and it is a distinct species ; moreover Mr. A. Sidgwick is respon- sible for some of the records Cybosia mesomella, L. Rare. Knowle (Blatch Hand.) ; Rugby = Brandon Woods, etc. (Rugby lists) ; also occurs in F. Enock's 1870 List Lithosia lurideola, Zinck. (complanula, B.). Generally distributed, but not very common ZYG1ENID1E ZYG.flENIN.ffi Zygaena trifolii, Esp. Knowle (R. C. Brad- ley) ; Olton, Coventry (Blatch Coll.) ; Rugby (Rugby lists) ; Atherstone (C. Baker) ; Wolford (W. C. E. Wheeler) lonicerae, Scheven. Marston Green (G. W. Wynn) ; Knowle = Hay Wood (Blatch Coll.) ; Rugby (Rugby lists) ; Wolford^W. C. E. Wheeler). I doubt if the above two species are always properly distinguished, and merely give the records as I have received them filipendulae, L. The commonest species of the genus, and is recorded from most parts of the county. It is however local, and not often common even locally Ino statices, L. Common in a few re- stricted localities. Knowle (R. C. Bradley, W. Kiss, etc. ; very abun- dant in 1898, H. W. Ellis) ; Sutton (reported only = J. T. Fountain) ; Olton,Marston Green (Blatch Hand.); Wolford (Austen ; locally common, W. C. E. Wheeler) ; Coombe Woods (G. B. Longstaff, E.M.M. 1866, P- 138) COCHLIDIDjE Heterogenea asella, Schiff. Brandon Woods (one specimen only in 1890, N. V. Sidgwick). Seen and confirmed by Mr. C. G.
