Anarsia sj)a)-tieJla. Variable, some specimens being nearly as 

 large and dark as A. (/en is fee. 



(Ecophora Larnbdella. Half-a-dozen specimens occurred last sum- 

 mer under tlie cliffs, generally beaten out of old furze bushes. I Lope 

 that I have the larva in decayed furze sticks. This is a sluggish 

 insect, and not easily induced to fly. 



But alls senescens. In the limestone quarries, in June, apparently 

 scarce, but very hard to see. 



B.fusco-cuprea, Several specimens swept up from long grass and 

 rank herbage under the cliffs, in July. 



Acrolepia granitella. Common everywhere in the autumn, and 

 — hibernated — in the spring, but a real nuisance, along the undercliffs. 

 It was already common there on a warm evening early in the present 

 month — March. The larva is equally common in June, in the leaves 

 of fleabane by the road-sides. 



Glypliipterijx Thrasonella. The uuicolorous bronzy form {Cla- 

 dielld) and intermediates are almost as common here as in the Norfolk 

 fens, and I have found here, in addition, occasional specimens of a 

 peculiar livid bluish, or pale steely-colour, very curious when the 

 moths are alive. 



Perittia ohscurepunctella. Not scarce, among honeysuckle in the 

 lanes, in April. 



Coleopilioragruphipennella. In lanes and quarries, among wild rose. 



C. virgaurccE. Common under the cliff's, among Solidago. 



Laverna lacteella. In lanes, scarce. 



Asychna terminella. A few larva? found in leaves of Circasa lute- 

 tiana near Saundersfoot, in the autumn. Only one specimen reared. 



Elacliista Bedellella. In the limestone quarries, apparently not 

 common. 



E. collitella. On June 2l8t, 1875, I found a minute whitish 

 ElacJdsta in some numbers on the sandhills at Tenby, skipping from 

 grassblade to grassblade, or flying very short distances in the shelter 

 of the bent-gi-ass (Ammophila). This species (which I have not met 

 with since) Mr. Stainton believes to be the true coUitdla of l)u|)onchel, 

 not before observed in the British Isles and distinct from suboccllca, 

 Steph. It is most nearly allied to triseriatella, Stn., but has the black 

 dots rounder, larger, and much more numerous — from twenty-eight to 

 thirty in number, — and distributed over the disc of the wing as well 

 as along the fold. At the apex is a double bar of blackish scales. 

 This is one of the smallest species in the genus.
