58 OBSERVATIONS ON BRITISH TINEINA. 



side of bramble-leaves, eating the leaf half through and 

 making conspicuous blotches, which are very evident, even 

 when you are not specially looking for them. The larva agrees 

 well with Hiibner's figure, which is copied by Curtis. 



Elachista Pfeifferella, I. B., p. 250. This appears to 

 have a similar habit to Treitschkiella, having apparently 

 been bred from case-making miners of the do^-wood. 



Elachista Brunnichella, I. B., p. 251. The solution of 

 Enigma No. 2 (Ent. Annual, 1855, 1st Edit. p. 63 ; 2nd 

 Edit. p. 85), but the food-plant was wrongly named Origanum; 

 it is Clinopodium vulgare. The larvae were collected by 

 Mr. Douglas, at Darenth Wood, in July, and by myself 

 near Mickleham, the beginning of August, and from them 

 we bred several of the perfect insect. 



Lithocolletis Frolichiella, I. B., p. 278. The mine of this 

 is unusually long, far longer than in L. alnifoliella, and the 

 cocoon is extraordinarily large. Mr. Scott meets with this 

 near Stockton. 



Lithocolletis Stettinensis, I. B., p. 280. Bred freely from 

 the larva collected in October, 1854, mining the upper side 

 of alder leaves, near Beckenham. 



Lithocolletis comparella, I. B., p. 282. Mr. Douglas bred 

 this in August, from a larva found at the beginning of that 

 month mining the underside of a leaf of Lombardy poplar, 

 near Mickleham. 



Lyonetia padifoliella, I. B., p. 284. Professor Frey has 

 lately sent me specimens of this insect (his Albella), of 

 Prunifoliella, and of the Hiibnerian Padifoliella, with the 

 remark : — u I bred in August all these forms from one kind 

 of sloe mine, with similar larva?, and am disposed to unite 

 them all as one species. The mine is broad, not narrow like 

 that of Clerckella. Albella is very scarce, Padifoliella the 

 commonest. The pupa is suspended as in Clerckella." 

 After groping so long in the dark about this species, such a 

 glare of light is rather dazzling !
