Scoria lineata. Dr. Syme-Boswell first told me of the occur-
rence of this species, he having taken it commonly; and Dr.
Gill informs me that it formerly occurred plentifully on the
Slopes. He has given me the following extract from Bouchard's
diary:—"June 1st, 1857. Fifty dealbata [lineata], at Leigh." The

example, which, however, I did not capture, owing to the high wind.
Aspilates ochrearia. Slopes and Sea-wall; common, but
gradually becoming scarcer.
