138 NOTES ON THE LEPIDOPTERA OF LEIGH, ESSEX,
Sciaphila nubilana. Common in hedges.
S. conspersana. Salt marsh. The examples taken here appear
to be very different from those captured in the neighbourhood of
Dover, &c., on the chalk cliffs, not only in colour, but in texture.
They may ultimately prove to be a distinct species.
S. subjectana, S. virgaureana and S. hybridana. Com-
mon.
Sphaleroptera ictericana. Salt marsh; some fine varieties
occur.
Capua favillaceana. Eastwood ; not uncommon.
Bactra lanceolana. Railway ditch, &c. Some of the speci-
mens captured in ditches on the north side of the River-wall are
exceedingly large.
Phoxopteryx lundana. Eastwood and lanes.
P. mitterpacheriana. Eastwood and lanes.
P. lactana. Eastwood; rare, amongst aspen.

G. trimaculana and G. penkleriana. Eastwood; common.
G. obtusana. Eastwood; rare.

Leigh Common were cut down, this was abundant; but since then I
