OBSERVATIOXS ON BRITISH, ETC., TINEIXA. 131 



I think will be lar<2:e enou":h for you to describe and fio;ure. 

 I have a lot more, which are not quite so large, which I shall 

 try and keep over the winter"' (T. W., 4, 11, 61). 



These larvae I have described as follows : — 



No. 53. Pinkish-grey, with brownish dorsal and sub- 

 dorsal lines and marbled with brown along the sides ; spots 

 blackish, small ; head and second segment yellowish-brown, 

 the latter with some darker markings posteriorly ; mouth 

 dark brown. 



Something like the larva of Ypsolophus marginellus. 



It spins a web among the heath, analogous to that spun by 

 an Ypsolophus larva on juniper. 



(Eeophora Jiavifrontella. Mr. Miller found the larva of 

 this species in October among fallen leaves. It fed on the 

 dry leaves, skeletonising them like the larva of an Incur' 

 varia. 



It was the larva of this species which I received from Herr 

 Hofmann two years ago, as probably that of Lypusa Jlau- 

 rella. 



(Egoconia quadripuncta. Mr. Barrett met with this near 

 Dublin, beating it " out of furze bushes in August in com- 

 pany with Depresmria Costosa" (Zool. p. 7800). 



Butalis variella^ " Last June I met with this insect in 

 great numbers running over the sand on the sand-hills of the 

 Antwerp Campine" (E. F., 28, 3, 61). 



*Carposina Scirrhosella. The larvae in the hips of roses, 

 received from Herr Lederer at the end of October, 1860, have 

 just produced two beautiful specimens of Carposina Scir^r- 

 hoseUa(¥. H., 24, 6, 61). 



GhjpJiipterijx Fischeriella. " I have a notion that I 

 shall get hold of the larva of G. Fischeriella this season. 

 I found a larva last season which I suspect belongs to that 

 species" (T. W., 5, 5, 61).
