47- Crambus Pratellus L. Frey Alp. j Stdfs. Sil. Mont. ;

48. Crambus Culmellus L. Frey Alp. ; Stdfs. Sil. Mont. ;

49- Tortrix Musculana Hb., var. (Gnephasia musculana 

 Hb.) Frey Alp.; Stdfs. Sil. Mont.; H. Here. Mont; Stgr. and Wk. 

 Cat. Lap. 



I received 6 specimens of this species, which had a curious 

 appearance. The insect is scarcely two-thirds the size of our 

 specimens (Hanover). The ground-colour of the upper wings is 

 a clear silvery-gray, and the basal area is bounded by an angular, 

 brown band. In one specimen, the brown middle-band is much 

 darker and more sharply bordered than usual. It flies in July. 



50. Sciaphila Osseana Sc. (Aphelia pratana Hb.) m. 

 Stgr. Isl.; Stgr. and Wk. Lap.; Wk. Norv. Alp.; Mosch. Labr.; 

 Frey Alp.; Stdfs. Sil. Mont.; H. Here. Mont. 



I received only 2 specimens ; they are redder than examples 

 from Hanover and the Upper Harz ; yet straw-coloured specimens 

 marked with distinct dark specks are said to occur, like those 

 that Dr. Staudinger has noticed in Iceland. Flies in August and 

 September. 



51. Cochylis Thuleana Va. (Eupoccilia ThuleanaVa.) 



A new species described by Mr. Howard Vaughan, in the 

 Entomologist, 1880, p. 293, and figured, plate 4, fig. 3. In our 

 system it must be ranked in the genus Cochylis, along with 

 affinitana Dbl. Caught in June, in the most inaccessible places 

 of the rocky coast of the Mainland. 



£2. Cochylis Badiana. (Argyrolepiacnicana Dbld.) (?) var. 

 cnicana Dbl. Frey Alp.; Stgr. and Wk. Cat. Lap. 



A single, large, deeply-coloured specimen was caught. Flies in 

 June. 



53. Penthina Schulziana F. (Mlrodia Sckulzianct Stgr. 

 and Wk. Lp.; Wk. Norv. Alp.; Frey Alp.; Stdfs. Sil. Mont.; H 

 Here. Mont. 



Brightly coloured, but somewhat smaller than the Scottish form. 

 Time of flight is June. 



54. Aphelia Lanceolana Hb. (Bacha Lanceolana Hb.) 

 Frey Alp.; H. Here. Mont.
