270 [May. 



Nemopliora metaxella. lu marshy places, among the hills, but 

 not very common. 



Nemotois minimellus. Common in damp meadows, among rant 

 herbage— Scahiosa, Centaurea, &e. 



Praj/s Curflsellua. Not very common, but remarkable for the 

 occurrence of an exaggerated form of the largo ^yj^e-specimens, with 

 tlie ground-colour singularly pure white. 



HarpeUa nemorella. Rather common in lanes, among wild honey- 

 suckle, in July. 



Depressaria pallorelln. In lanes, and on the cliffs, sitting on 

 hedges at night, or flying at dusk ; autumn and spring ; not very 

 common. 



-D. rotundella. "With the last, but commoner. 



D. cnpreolella. Scarce. G-enerally found flying in the afternoon 

 sunshine in April, not much the better for hibernation. One speci- 

 men raked out from a sandhill, in September, was really fine, but — 

 it vanished. I have wasted much valuable time in searching the 

 radical leaves of Phnpinella saxifraga — ineffectually — for the larva. 



D. rlwdoclirella. One or two specimens raked out from sandhills, 

 having blackish head and thorax, and I think certainly not siihpro- 

 pinquella. 



D. pulclierrimeUa. Taken, and larva found and reared, from damp 

 fields, among Bunium flexuosum. 



D. hadiella. Coast sandhills, and under cliffs. 



D. pastinacella. Coast sandhills, but not very common. 



Gelechia gerronella. Eaten out of furze bushes under the cliffs 

 along with G. senectella. 



O. distinctella. On coast sands, apparently scarce. 



G. costella. Larva? in plenty on Solanum dulcamara, under the 

 cliffs at Tenby. 



G. leucomelanella. I found this very local species rather com- 

 monly along a strip of undercliff, among Silene maritima, last August. 

 It is rather sluggish, and will only move in the most favourable 

 weather. In the previous year I looked for it in vain. 



G. instahilella. Common on the cliffs and salt-marshes. 



G. ohsoletella. I found a great number of larva? last autumn on 

 plants of Atriplex, eating the seeds, leaves, shoots, any part in fact 

 (like costella in Solanum), but not particularly in the stems. One 

 specimen of this species has already emerged indoors. 



G. Sircomella. One specimen only, among toeniolella. I am in- 

 clined to think (with Mr. Sang) that this is only a form of toeniolella, 

 with the fascia obliterated. «
