19Q3.] 3 



Pcedisca ophtJialmicaiia, Hb.,I bred a series of tliis from rolled leaves of aspen. 



Ephi})pi])hora tricjeminana, St., this species is always scarce, and is not easily 

 separated from B runnichiana ; in fact, 1 have seen it very frequently mixed, or 

 specimens of tlic latter standing as the former, in collections. 



Coccyx arjtfrana, Hb., I have taken newly emerged specimens of this from 

 trunks of apple trees in the orchard at Strathlevcn ; the empty pupa cases were 



numerous, projecting from chinks in the bark. vacciniana, Zett., I obtained a 



splendid series of this at rest about eight o'clock in the evening in June, on the 

 leaves of the food plant ; sometimes the specimens were paired. 



Retinia posticana, Zett., turionana, var. ?, this species is niost readily obtained 

 in the larva state (in April) ; the presence of the larva is detected by the sap 

 exuding from the punctured twigs forming little balls of white resin near the tips 

 of tlio pine branches ; the twigs should be cut off about six inches from the tip, 

 and little care is required to produce the imago ; the larva pupates in the bud ; 

 very often in the central one, thus causing the further growth to branch off at an 

 angle, and sometimes two small branches to result. 



*\Stigmonota internana, Gn., occurred this year on tlie bank of Murroch Glen, 

 on broom. 



Tortricodes hyemana, Hb., very conunon in Murroch Glen, in March, on oak. 



TINEINA. 



Tinea imella, lib., very common at Dillichip ; I took about 100 in a week 

 between seven and nine, in the evenings in June ; I have netted as many as eight 

 specimens with one sweep of the net through the grass in one special spot, and in 

 other parts quite near the species does not seem to occur. 



*Depressaria conterminella, Zett., I bred a specimen of this from the sallow 



catkins which produced G. nisella. *angellceUa, Hb., a few bred from Angelica. 



■*pulcherrimella, Stt., tliis species was abundant, but in poor condition, at rest 



on elm and oak trunks, in a field on Strathleven policies, in August. 



Q-elechia diffinis, Hw., I bred a single specimen of this, but from what I can- 

 not remember, as it was unconsciously introduced to my breeding cases. inta- 



minatella, Stt., not uncommon in Murroch Glen. *\artemisiella, Tr., scarce, 



Levcnsidc Moor. *fsenectella, one specimen at Dillichip. *fdesertell.a, not 



conunon, Dillichip. *\tenebroseUa, Murroch Glen. *\anthyllidella, Murroch 



Glen, I can find no Scotch record of this species. 



*\l'ancaUa Leuioenhoekella, var. LatreiUella, occurs on the side of Murroch 

 Glen in fair numbers, both sexes, but males scarce ; (limestone formation). 



*'\Ornix gtittea, this species occurred in the orchard at Strathleven ; the larvae 

 were very numerous in September on the apple leaves ; this species does not seem 

 to have been recorded from Scotland before, though how it has not been previously 

 I cannot say, it ought to occur commonly. 



Chauliodus chcerophylielius, Gz., this species is abundant on the under-sides of 

 leaves of Heracleum in the larva state ; I have taken twenty specimens from one 

 leaf; scarcely ever seen as the imago, in fact I have only taken two on the wing 

 in ten years.
