to my friend Mr. Haliday, who says in his letter, " This larva 

 is found wandering in groves from the end of August to Oc- 

 tober; it is probably AphidivorouS; though this I have not 

 proved, nor have I bred it, but I can entertain no doubt that 

 it is the larva of C. tineiformi$. The general character is 

 closely allied to the larva of Hemerobius, to which genus it 

 is related." It is rosy, with a large oval blackish patch on the 

 back, and large white spots down each side. 



1. C. tineiformis Curt. 



Length | of a line, expansion 2f . 



Dead pearly grey, powdered : antennas not longer than the 

 body, containing about 25 joints; superior wings very ample 

 (9 5), inferior small (z), abdomen ochreous. 



This insect is not uncommon in Norfolk and the New Fo- 

 rest, and I have found it abundant the end of June flying out 

 of a hedge in the day time in Mr. Dale's garden at Glanville's 

 Wootton. Mr. Haliday says, "It occurs in groves (especially 

 on Coniferffi) in summer: the colour is clear bluish white, 

 but the dried specimens either fade or become rubbed. In 

 the living insect the palpi are porrected and adhere together, 

 forming a kind of beak. When captured they feign death, 

 with their antennae bent in under the thorax, as in Hemerobius 

 and Chrysopa." 



2. C. Psociformis Hal. — Curt. Brit. Ent. ipl. 528 $ ? 



This Insect I also found in Norfolk many years since, and 

 Mr. Haliday took it in the same situation as the last: and 

 adds, " when the deflected upper wings in repose conceal the 

 lower, it resembles the former species, but it is distinguished 

 by its superior size and more brilliant white colour." The na- 

 tural size of the insect at rest is shown towards the lower 

 part of the Plate. 



The Plant is Trifolium glomeratum (Round-headed Trefoil), 

 communicated by James Paget, Esq., one of the authors of a 

 *' Sketch of the Natural History of Yarmouth," an invaluable 

 abstract of local information, and an admirable example, which 

 I hope to see followed in e.\QYy County of the United King- 

 doms.
