three small spots of the ground colour on its front edge. Tubercular dots and 
spiracles black, also the anterior legs and prolegs ; the latter with a ring of white 
above their extremities. 
Var. 2. Ground colour briUiant orange-ochreous, visible in spots at the seg- 
mental divisions along the centre of the back, and in narrow streaks along the 
sub-dorsal region, a much interrupted line along the spiracles, and a row of spots 
and blotches on the side just above the legs (the largest blotches being above the 
anterior legs), and three broad stripes meeting at the end of the anal flap ; all the 
rest blackish. 
Var. 3. Ground colour dull brownish-ochreous, seen as dorsal, sub-dorsal, 
and lateral stripes, on the third and fourth segments with little interruptions, and 
on other segments only the faintest traces of them, excepting the anal, which is 
marked similarly to those previously described, and the dorsal stripe merely as a 
triangular spot at the end of the intermediate segments ; all the rest of the body 
dull brownish-black, and each spiracle placed in a swelling blotch of intense and 
rather shining-black.— Wm. Buckler, Emsworth. 
Notes on Micro- Lepidoptera occurring at Haslemere. — At a short distance from 
here there is a swampy copse, consisting principally of alder, sallow, and birch 
bushes, with plenty of brambles, rushes, and high tussocks of sedge, and cut up in 
every direction, but to very little purpose, with drains. Here, on May 18th last, I 
found Micropteryx mansudclla and Allionella pretty commonly, with calthella in 
abundance, all flitting among, and settling upon, the rushes and culms of sedge, 
keeping generally in the shadow of the high bushes, not in the sunshine. 
At the end of the month, I visited the spot again, and then found the same 
species, all crowding upon the sedge blossoms, where they were joined by 
Tliunhergella. 
Glyphipteryx oculatella was also common, dancing merrily about the open 
places late in the afternoon, and settling on the rushes ; and a few Elachista, 
ochreella occurred among the sedge. 
For three weeks I was prevented from going there again, but on June 21st 
and 26th found oculatella still common, but worn ; and also obtained Phoxopteryx 
diminutana, Choreutis scintillulana, Nemophora metaxella, Lavcrna lacteella, Buccu- 
latrix cidarclla, and, I believe, 'Ncptioula intiynella. 
On May 31st J found, in another damp place by the railway embankment, 
Micropteryx mansuctella, swarming on the blossoms of Luzula pilosa, with calthella 
in hundreds ; and just on the other side of the railway, had the good fortune to take 
Incurvaria temticornis flying after sunset, and just by, Coleoplwra graminicolella* 
was flitting in numbers among the grass and Inula. 
In various woods I found the Luzula blossoms covered with Micropteryx 
calthella, which also frequented flowers of Mercurialis perennis, while mansuetclla 
was not to be fovind at all on that plant. 
Ncmotois minimellus was very common late in August, among flowers in open 
places in the woods, and two or three times I noticed it flying in little swanns over 
flowers of Centaurea and Stachys. 
Psoricoptera gihhosella, bred from oak leaves rolled lengthwise into tubes.
