OBSERVATIONS ON BRITISH TINEINA. 123 



the ruins of Caerphilly, and from Mr. Bostock, who found 

 it at Bideford (Int. 7). The perfect insect was met with in 

 Wales by Mr. Gregson (Int. 115). 



Micropteryx Allionella, I. B., p. 43. Mr. Edleston says 

 he has seen many hundred specimens invariably among 

 Vaccinium Myrtillus, flying over and sitting on that plant. 



Micropteryx unimaculella, I. B., p. 45. Mr. Gregson 

 bred this species from green pupae found in small mines in 

 the lichen and bark of birches (Int. 28, 29). This indication 

 of where the pupae should be looked for may lead to the 

 detection of the larva. 



Scythropia Cratcegella, I. B., p. 57. I met with a nest 

 of this species in June. The pupa is suspended quite ex- 

 posed in the common web, and is unusually angular. 



Hyponomeuta viyintipunctatus, I. B., p. 59. Two or 

 three specimens of the perfect insect were taken at Guildford 

 by the Rev. P. H. Newnham (Int. 67, 174), and in October 

 he found two broods of the larva on the orpine (Sedum 

 Telephium). 



Anesychia funerella, I. B., p. 63. I have long suspected 

 from its habitats this must feed upon the Comfrey (Sym- 

 phytum officinale), and I have lately heard from Professor 

 Frey, that, in the continuation of Sepp's work, the larva 

 is figured on that plant. Professor Frey found it near 

 Zurich on Lithospersmum officinale, along with the larva 

 of A. decenujuttella. 



Plutella annulatella, I. B., p. 68. Mr. Wailes has met 

 with this near Newcastle, and Mr. Wilkinson near Scar- 

 borough (Int. 174, 187). 



Cerostoma horridella, I. B., p. 72. Herr Bremi, of 

 Zurich, has found the larva on apple-trees. 



Semioscopis Steinhellneriana, 1. 13., p. 79. Mr. Harding 

 observes (Int. 26), that this flies from daybreak to sunrise.
