Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Entomologist's Monthly Magazine, Vol. 15
Variety of Pyralis costalis at South Croydon - Ou August 24th last I found at rest on a fence in South Croydon a striking variety of the above pretty species, which I. Think is well worthy of record. The space between (and including) the two conspicuous costal spots is filled up with bright yellow, forming a large oblong blotch extending considerably more than half way across the wings towards the dorsal margin; the outer and inner edges are continued to the margin in the shape of two narrow lines. The central space of the hind-wings is much paler than usual. Altogether the insect presents a striking contrast to the type - A. Thurnall, Whitehall Road, Thornton Heath December 9th, 1903.
Acidalia ornata in Cumberland. - It may be interesting to record the capture of a specimen of Acidalia ornala near Keswick, in Cumberland, in the beginning of August last, as it is no doubt known that this is a southern insect, and I have no knowledge of a previous capture in a district so far North. - W. J. Wootton, Board School, Johanna Street, Westminster: November, 1903.
