OBSERVATIONS ON BRITISH TINEINA. 



(Supplementary to the Insecta Britannica — Lepidop- 

 tera, Tineina ; and the Entomologist's Companion, 

 2nd Edition.) 



Chimabacche Phryganella, I. B., p. 15. Of this I 

 received a number of adult larvae from Professor Zeller, all of 

 which appeared to possess the club-shaped third pair of feet. 

 From these I have bred both sexes of the perfect insect. 

 Madame Lienig had stated that it was only the young larvae 

 of the males which had these club-shaped feet. 



Tinea picaretta, I. B., p. 28. A remarkably small 

 specimen of this pretty species was taken by Mr. Wailes in 

 July, on the stem of a birch tree. The larva will probably 

 be found in fungi on birches. 



Lamprosetia Verhuellella, I. B., p. 39. The larva is 

 very plentiful on some walls at Bideford and Barnstaple. 

 Mr. Braim met with the larvae near Whitby last Decem- 

 ber, mining the leaves of Scolopendrium vulgar e (Hart's 

 Tongue). 



Incurvarm pecti?iea, I. B., p. 40. The young mining 

 larvae of this insect have been noticed at Scarborough by 

 Mr. R. Cook ; and from him and from Mr. Weaver, I have 

 received some half-grown larvae feeding on green birch 

 leaves. 



Nemophora SwammerdavimeUaj I. B., p. 47. This is 

 the solution of Enigma No. 30, the insect having been bred
