C. -warringtoneUus, Stt. 



This is considered a variety of perlellas ; it flies in the same 

 localities as the type in July and August. 



C. fascelinellus Hb., aridellus, 7a. 



The larva feeds on the roots of Triticum junceum and other 

 grasses, for the moth occurs as well inland in dry sandy districts as 

 on the coast. I mention this species here because it has been con- 

 founded with spuriellus, H.-Gr. (pedriolellus, Dup.J, which is quite a 

 different species and found only in the Alps. M. G-uenee (Annales Soc. 

 Ent. de France, 1843 Bull. p. xli) describes fascelinellus, and the mode 

 of living of the larva, under the name of pedriolellus, Dup., hence no 

 doubt the error which has crept into the " Manual." 



C. inquinatellus, S. Y. 



The moth has been bred by Schmid from an unobserved larva on 

 Barbula muralis. The moth flies in dry fields and heaths, end of July 

 and in August. 



C. cantaniinellus, Hb. 



The larva is unknown, the moth flies in dry fields in July and 

 August. 



C. culmellus, L. 



The moth flies abundantly in fields from June to August, but the 

 larva is unknown. 



C. craterellus (rorella, L.). 



The larva is unknown, the moth is common in dry fields and 

 pasture lands, from the end of May to July. 



C. cassentiniellus, Z. 



Is, I think, rightly considered to be only a variety of the preced- 

 ing species. 



C. UtJiargyrellus, Hb. 



The larva is unknown, the moth flies in dry sandy places and 

 heaths in July and August. 



Eromene ocellea, Hw. 



Larva unknown, the moth flies in June, but the earliest captures 

 of this species in England were in early spring (March), showing 

 that the insect hibernates. Mr. Sydney Webb met with a fresh 

 specimen at Folkestone on the 4th August, 1879. 



Scheenobius mucronellus, S. Y. 



The larva is undescribed, but is stated to feed in stems of reed 

 {Arundo phragmites) in June, the moth appears in July.
