152 LEPIDOPTERA. 



Crambus Pedriolellus. — I have been informed by- 

 Mr. Bond tliat a specimen of this insect was taken last 

 summer on the coast near Yarmouth, in Norfolk. 



Cheimatophila mixtana. — This has been bred by Mr. 

 T. Wilkinson, of Scarborough, from dark-green larvae found 

 September 2nd on Calluna vulgaris (Weekly Entomologist, 



p. 111). 



Pjedisca oppressana. — Several specimens were taken 

 by Mr. Piffard on the trunks of poplars in June (Zoologist, 

 8218). These were exhibited at the September Meeting of 

 the Entomological Society under the name of Spilonota 

 Doiihledayana. Mr. Wormald has recorded the capture of 

 a specimen at Willesden (Zoologist, 8245). 



EUP^CILIA ALBICAPITANA (E. A., 1862, p. 111). — Mr. 

 Birchall observes this flies with Sericoris littorana, among 

 Statice Arvierm, at the end of June (E. B. 25/11/62). 



AcROLEPiA Betuletella. — A specimen was captured 

 this season by Mr. J. E. Robson at Castle Eden Dene 

 (Weekly Entomologist, p. 128). 



Elachista apicipunctella. — This species has been 

 bred by Mr. C. G. Barrett from larvae which were found 

 spun up, on fallen oak leaves, under a pretty web of parallel 

 threads. The larvae, when found in January or February, 

 had not then changed to the pupa state; but, placed in a warm 

 room, they did so in a few weeks, and the imago appeared in 

 the early spring. The locality was a damp wood of oaks and 

 fir trees not far from Falkirk (Weekly Entomologist, p. 120, 

 and C. G. B. 3/12/62). 



It would appear from this that the larva feeds up in 

 autumn. 



Elachista serricornis. — I saw a specimen of this rare 

 species in a collection of insects mostly captured in Wales.
