IMMIGRANTLEPIDOPTERAIN 1998 233 THEIMMIGRATION OFLEPIDOPTERA TO THE BRITISHISLESIN 1998 Bernard Skinner' andGrahamA. Collins^ '5RawlinsClose,SouthCroydon,SurreyCR28JS. -75HurstWay,SouthCroydon,SurreyCR27AP. In 1998 lepidopterists experienced some of the poorest moth-trap catches of both resident and immigrant species seen this decade. Unfavourable weather was probably the prime cause, but even on seemingly "good" nights trap attendances were frequently abysmally low. Fortunately, even in the poorest years there are always a few species that manage to prosper and in 1998 one ofthese was Tebenna micalis Mann. A number ofboth larvae and adults were reported in Devon and Co. Cork in 1982, but normally this micro species, which is associated with common fleabane Pulicaria dysenterica, is a rather rare visitor. However, during the latter half of the summer there were many sightings of adults and evidence of larval feeding in south-west England and south-west Wales, and even adults in south-west Scotland. The onlynew additionto theBritishIsles wasHerpetogramma licarsialis (Walk.); anexample was capturedatlightintheIsle ofWightinearly November. Itis afairly large pyrale not too dissimilar to the Mother of Pearl Pleuroptyna ruralis (Scop.). Mostnotableamongstthemacrolepidopterawere thethirdBritishcapture ofPorter's RusticAthetis hospes (Freyer) taken in the Isles ofScilly on the last day ofAugust and an example of Lesser Belle Colobochyla salicalis (D. & S.) from the Norfolk coast on 23 June. This species was formerly resident near Hamstreet, East Kent, but has not been noted since 1977. Until now the only indication that it might occasionallymigratewas arecordfrom SouthDevon in 1965. In the hope of aiding the compilation ofthe immigration reports for future years and enabling a quicker publication it is requested that records should be stated clearly with as full details as possible and ideally the Watsonian vice-county should be given. If it is not possible to give the vice-county, a six figure grid-reference would aid the placing of the record within a vice-county at the compilation stage. The dates given for the records should be the day ofthe sighting, or iffrom a light trapitshouldbethedateoftheevening thatthe trap was operated. The species listed in the annexes are laid out following Bradley (1998). Several records were supplied by more than one contributor and it is possible that some duplication of records has occurred, although every effort was made to eliminate this.

IMMIGRANTLEPIDOPTERAIN 1998 233 THEIMMIGRATION OFLEPIDOPTERA TO THE BRITISHISLESIN 1998 Bernard Skinner' andGrahamA. Collins^ '5RawlinsClose,SouthCroydon,SurreyCR28JS. -75HurstWay,SouthCroydon,SurreyCR27AP. In 1998 lepidopterists experienced some of the poorest moth-trap catches of both resident and immigrant species seen this decade. Unfavourable weather was probably the prime cause, but even on seemingly "good" nights trap attendances were frequently abysmally low. Fortunately, even in the poorest years there are always a few species that manage to prosper and in 1998 one ofthese was Tebenna micalis Mann. A number ofboth larvae and adults were reported in Devon and Co. Cork in 1982, but normally this micro species, which is associated with common fleabane Pulicaria dysenterica, is a rather rare visitor. However, during the latter half of the summer there were many sightings of adults and evidence of larval feeding in south-west England and south-west Wales, and even adults in south-west Scotland. The onlynew additionto theBritishIsles wasHerpetogramma licarsialis (Walk.); anexample was capturedatlightintheIsle ofWightinearly November. Itis afairly large pyrale not too dissimilar to the Mother of Pearl Pleuroptyna ruralis (Scop.). Mostnotableamongstthemacrolepidopterawere thethirdBritishcapture ofPorter's RusticAthetis hospes (Freyer) taken in the Isles ofScilly on the last day ofAugust and an example of Lesser Belle Colobochyla salicalis (D. & S.) from the Norfolk coast on 23 June. This species was formerly resident near Hamstreet, East Kent, but has not been noted since 1977. Until now the only indication that it might occasionallymigratewas arecordfrom SouthDevon in 1965. In the hope of aiding the compilation ofthe immigration reports for future years and enabling a quicker publication it is requested that records should be stated clearly with as full details as possible and ideally the Watsonian vice-county should be given. If it is not possible to give the vice-county, a six figure grid-reference would aid the placing of the record within a vice-county at the compilation stage. The dates given for the records should be the day ofthe sighting, or iffrom a light trapitshouldbethedateoftheevening thatthe trap was operated. The species listed in the annexes are laid out following Bradley (1998). Several records were supplied by more than one contributor and it is possible that some duplication of records has occurred, although every effort was made to eliminate this.
