188 THE entomologist's record. 



2. — The boat-shaped cocoons of Nolo striiitda are to be obtained in 

 late June on the trunks of oaks, the colour of the cocoon assimilating 

 perfectly in tint with that of the surrounding surface of the bark ; very 

 difficult to detect. 



3. — The cocoons of Lithosia 'jriseola are to be found in June under 

 moss or lichen on moss- or lichen-bearing trees (Greene). 



4. — The eggs of Enlepia crihvum arrayed in the neatest possible 

 manner are to be found in June and July upon little stems of heather 

 in their well-known localities in and near the New Forest (Corbin). 



5. — Young larvas of (EnUtis quadra are to be beaten from the 

 lichens on oak-trees in early June; they appear to nibble the oak-leaves 

 that feed on the lichens on oak-trees preferring Lichen raninus, of 

 which they eat the dark cuticle quite voraciously, not caring for the 

 pale fleshy substance beneath, 



6. — -The full-fed larvte of (Enistiti quadra may be beaten from oak 

 at Lyndhurst in late June ; the favourite food is Paruielia caperata, 

 which grows in abundance on all the trees where they occur, but they 

 will also eat other species of lichens. They are very restless in con- 

 finement and especially prone to cannibalism (Lockyer). 



7. — The cocoon of Lithosia quadra is to be found spun up on palings 

 in the neighbourhood of trees covered with lichens at the end of June 

 (Greene) . 



8. — -The cocoon of Lithosia uiuscerda is spun under cover of a leaf, 

 piece of bark or lichen ; it is thin, webby, formed of greyish silk, 

 enclosed in a liner and thinner web of white silk. 



9. — The thin web-like cocoons of Lithosia ijriseola are spun in June 

 and July, and placed under some protecting cover — stone, piece of 

 wood, &c. 



10. — In June the pupjv of Lithosiu uioli/bdeola are to be found 

 enclosed in a very slight web of silk, under cover of a stone or piece of 

 moss (Hellins). 



11. — The larvae of Phnjxus livornica are to be occasionally found 

 on fuchsia, dock, (tc, in June and July (progeny of spring immigrants) 

 and again in August and September (progeny of July-August 

 immigrants). [Several imagines already recorded for May, 1904.] 



12. — The eggs of Amorpha populi are deposited singly, or in pairs, 

 on the upper- and underside of the leaves of the various species of 

 poplar, at almost any height from the ground, from about two or three 

 feet up to the tops of tall trees. They are not at all difficult to find 

 in June. 



13. — At the end of June and in early July the young larvie of 

 Amorpha populi are not at all difficult to find on the underside of 

 the leaves of various species of poplar. 



14. — The young larva^ of Adscita statices in June and July burrow 

 into the substance of a sorrel leaf, being, however, never quite 

 hidden, making semitransparent blotches by eating away the under 

 epidermis and clearing out the soft cellular tissue leaving only the 

 transparent upper epidermis. 



15.— The young larvte of Adscita (icri/on leave the eggs in late June 

 or July, burrow into the underside of the fiower-buds or leaves of 

 iielianthcmum ruli/are, eating out a little blotch, esK'h one inserting 

 half its body into its burrow ; the upper skin of the leaf is untouched. 



16. — The full-grown larvte of Anthroceia exulans ai'e to be found on
