OBSERVATIONS ON BRITISH TINEINA. 127 



bred this species at Scarborough from mountain-ash (Int. 



7)- 



Coleophora Wockeella, I. B., p. 212. Mr. Bond met 

 with several larvae in a little wood near Canterbury in April, 

 on Betonica officinalis (Int. 46). 



Coleophora murinipennella, I. B., p. 218. At two 

 separate times has Mr. Scott sent me a peculiar vandyked 

 case ; on one occasion it was on the seeds of Luzula. My 

 last letter from Professor Zeller contained the gratifying 

 information that " the larva of C. murinipennella feeds on the 

 seeds of Luzula pilosa; next year I can send it you." 



Coleophora conspicuella, I. B., p. 213. Three or four 

 specimens of this were taken in Headley Lane this summer 

 by Mr. Machin, Mr. Standish, Mr. Tompkins. 



Coleophora orbitella, J. B. p. 221. Mr. Edleston has 

 two specimens of this species, beat from a birch, June 29th, 

 near Bowden, Cheshire ; and Mr. Ashworth has bred it from 

 a case found on the trunk of a birch tree. 



Chauliodus Illigerellus, I. B., p. 234. Mr. Drane found 

 the leaves of the CEgopodium podagraria " crumpled" 

 by the larvae in a wood near Cardiff. He was too late for 

 the larvae ; he sent me a solitary one, from which I bred an 

 Ichneumon. 



Laverna propinquella, I. B., p. 236. Mr. T. Wilkinson 

 writes, " I have bred a number of this either from l£pi- 

 lobium hirsufum or alsini folium f but how it mined I cannot 

 say at present. The perfect insect is now (July 28) very 

 common on the flowers of ragwort." 



Laverna ochraceella, I. B., p. 238. The larva mines the 

 stems of the Epilobium hirsutum. Mr. T. Wilkinson 

 says "it begins to mine from the root of the plant in the 

 spring, as soon as the plant begins to shoot. I first found 

 the larvae the second week in May last, then very young."
