OBSERVATIONS ON BRITISH TINEINA. 113 



out sideways, as if for show ; if it should want a little extra 

 leg-power to overcome some obstacle, down comes fii'st one 

 leg and then the other, and it walks for a few steps on all 

 six legs, and then the hind legs revert to what is really their 

 natural position (Int. viii. p. 121). 



Lacerna decorella (I. B., p. 239). Professor Frey has 

 bred this species from Epilohium hir^sutum (Linnaea Ento- 

 mologica, xiv. p. 190). Mr. Thomas Brown, of Cambridge, 

 has bred it from Lythrum salicaria (Int. viii. p. 156). 



Elachista 3IagniJicella (I. B., p. 251). Mr. Scott met 

 with the larva of this insect in South Wales (Int. viii. p. 157). 



Elaclmta Paludum (Coricis, Ent. Ann. 1859, p. 155). 

 Mr. Winter met with the larva of this insect near Beccles in 

 July. All the specimens bred preserve their distinctive 

 characters (Int. viii. p. 149 and ix. p. 3). 



Cerniostoma Wailesella (Ent. Ann. 1859, p. 156). This 

 insect has occurred in some plenty in the neighbourhood of 

 Liverpool. 



Nepticula Sericopeza (I. B., p. 301). Dr. Wocke has 

 discovered the larva of this little rarity ; it mines the leaves 

 o£ Populus tremula in October and November; the mine is 

 very similar to that of N, arcjyropeza. 



Nepticula Angulifasciella (I. B., p. 304). M. Fologne 

 found at Brussels last autumn a Nepticula larva in bramble 

 leaves which was decidedly not Aurella ; he sent me some : 

 I was unable to distinguish them from the larvae of Anguli- 

 fasciella. Dr. Brackenridge Clemens has bred what ap- 

 pears to be that species from larvae found in bramble leaves 

 in Pennsylvania (Int. viii. p. 132). Neither did I or M. 

 Fologne succeed in rearing the perfect insect; this autumn, 

 however, he has again met with the larva, but Dr. Clemens 

 has not been equally fortunate.
