14 ^'OTES 0>T LEPIDOPTERA, 



Argyrosetia semifasoiella, Ooedartella, and hrockella occur in many places 

 near Glasgow and Lanark, the latter in several stages of markings till it 

 assumes a uniform coppery lustre. Argyromiges mespilella is also not unfrequent. 



Heriheia Ilaworthana occurs in several localities early in the summer; IT. 

 Forsterella appears somewhat later near Glasgow, but is not common. 



Microsetia exiguella, with several other congeners, are found commonly in 

 many places. 



Lithocolletis TJlnifoUella and QuercifoUella abound in woody places every- 

 where. 



CalUsto Fyeslella is common in the month of June, in marshy places near 

 Glasgow, A sty ages coracipennella is also common. 



Chrysocoris scissella seems to be a local insect; it appears in July, near 

 Glasgow in great abundance, flying about furze. 



Porrectaria otidipennella and gallipennella are generally distributed. 



Aphclosefia auritella is a beautiful little frequenter of gardens near Glasgow, 

 but is somewhat scarce; A. triatomea is much commoner. 



Eudorea duhitalis, lineola and suhfasca are not uncommon in many places; 

 Phycita fusca and nehulella are also generally distributed. 



Crambus lythargyi'ellus, pascuellus, pratelluSy aquilellus, and culmellus, may 

 be enumerated as common on pastures, etc., during the summer; G.pinetellus 

 is also found in heathy districts, but very sparingly. C. radiellus, which has 

 been generally represented as occurring exclusively on mountainous districts, 

 frequents quite different kinds of localities in this part of the country, and 

 is, in some seasons, particularly common on a flat swampy heath in Renfrew- 

 shire. It also occurs in a similar locality at Kirkintilloch. 



Ilarpipteryx dentella is common in gardens, etc. everywhere. 



Choetochilus fisselhcs occurs sparingly at Westmains, near Lanark; we have 

 not noticed it elsewhere. 



Cerostoma xylostella frequents hilly heaths near Lanark. 



Of the genus Tinea, maiX\j species frequent houses, etc., which are too well 

 known to require any notice. T. parasitella is rather uncommon, though 

 frequenting many places. The most interesting species of this genus which 

 has come under our notice in this district is T. ustdla, chiefly on account of 

 its peculiar habitat; it has established itself, in fact, within the precincts of an 

 old coal and limestone mine in the vicinity of Campsie. For a notice of this 

 interesting fact we are indebted to our friend Mr. R. Gray, who informs us 

 that it appeared in great abundance when he visited the spot two years ago. 



Lepidocera Birdella occurs sparingly near Glasgow, about the middle of 

 August, flying near hedge-rows. 



Incurvaria mascidella is a common insect in hedges and woods, early in 

 the summer, 



Lampronia corticella appears in June, in woods, etc., near Glasgow; L. 

 prcelatella we have only seen near Lanark; L. luzella occurs in July near 

 Glasgow, but is apparently local; L. purpurella is generally distributed.
