OBSERVATIONS ON BRITISH TINEINA. 55 



Argyresthia arceuthina, I. B., p. 188. Herr Schmid 

 writes, " the larva in May, in shoots of juniper; the green 

 pupa may also then be collected." In this country May 

 would be rather late to look for the larva. 



Cedestis Gysselinella, I. B., p. 190. Herr Schmid finds 

 " the larva on Pinus sylvestris, between leaves, in a white 

 web." 



Ocnerostoma piniariella, I. B., p. 191. Herr Schmid 

 states, that " the larvae feed on Pinus sylvestris, mining the 

 leaves." 



Zelleria fasciapennella, I. B., p. 192. Professor Frey 

 has taken this in Switzerland, on the Grisons Alps, at 

 Engadine. 



Gracilaria elongella, I. B., p. 197. [Bred by Mr. Buxton 

 from larva? making large cones on birch leaves. 



Coriscium cucidipennellum, I. B., p. 202. Mr. Sang bred 

 this, this summer, from a pupa, enclosed in a long white 

 cocoon, in a rolled up ash leaf; next year he hopes to 

 find the larva. 



Coleophora paripennella, I. B., p. 211 . At length I have 

 succeeded in getting an autumnal larva to live through the 

 winter, and it produced, as anticipated, this species. 



Coleophora Wockeella, I. B., p. 212. The larva of this 

 species is well known to Herr Schmid and Professor Frey; 

 the former writes, " larva at the beginning of June, on 

 Stachys hirta, preferring the stem to the leaves;" the latter 

 observes, " not scarce on Betonica and Ranunculus in April 

 and May." 



Coleophora ochrea, I. B., p. 212. The larva feeds, so 

 Herr Schmid assures me, on Helianthemum vulgarc, the 

 latter half of June eating the leaves. The case must be very 

 conspicuous ; it is more than half an inch long, cylindrical 

 brownish-ochreous. 



Coleophora conspicuella, I. B., p. 213. Mr. Douglas and
