OBSERVATIONS ON BRITISH TINEIXA. 125 



Gelechia paupella, I. B., p. 138. Mr. Douglas has bred 

 several specimens apparently of this species from larvae found 

 in the flowers of Inula dysenterica (Int. 172). It becomes 

 a question for future solution, whether Paupella be not the 

 summer brood of Inopella. 



Cleodora striatella (E. A. 1856, p. 36). A second spe- 

 cimen of this insect has occurred; it was taken by Mr. 

 Cooke near Brighton. 



Anarsia Spartiella, T. B., p. 144. I have bred this from 

 brown larvae in the shoots of furze, sent me by Mr. Boyd. 



HypercalUa Christiernana, I. B., p. 153. The discovery 

 of the larva on the leaves of Poly gala Chamcebuxus by 

 Professor Frey is recorded in the Intelligencer, p. 100. 



R'dslerstammia Erxlebella, I. B., p. 172. Some years 

 ago Mr. T. Wilkinson found this in plenty at the end of 

 May and beginning of June, in Leigh Wood near Bristol, on 

 the leaves of some lime trees ; frequently in copula on the 

 leaves, also freely on the wing. Mr. Wilkinson is inclined 

 to think there is a second brood towards the end of August 

 and beginning of September, but not nearly so numerous as 

 in May, and rarely met with except by beating. 



Mr. Weir suggests we have two species mixed under this 

 name, one feeding on heath and the other on lime. 



Douglasia Ocnerostomella, I. B., p. 180. The following 

 extract from a note from Mr. Winter affords a clue to the 

 natural history of this species : " Some months since" — this 

 was written in July,—" my friend Mr. Mitton of Kurstper- 

 point told me that he had discovered some minute larvae in 

 the dead stems of Echium vulgare, and that he had bred 

 from them some small moths, which I felt no doubt wereD. 

 Ocnerostomella. I therefore collected some stems, but 

 searched in vain for the larvae. I kept them, however, in a 

 glass jar, and several specimens of Ocnerostomella have just
