110 LEPIDOrTERA. 



Coleophora murinipennella , I. B., p. 218. The larvae on 

 the seeds of the wood rush were collected freely by Mr. Wil- 

 kinson last June. 



Coleophora juncicolella, I. B., p. 220. The larvae were 

 collected in abundance last spring at West Wickhara Wood ; 

 also at Scarborough and near Manchester. 



Coleophora fuscedinella, I. B., p. 221. I have actually 

 bred this species from larvae found feeding on mallow, by the 

 side of an elm hedge. Is the larva which feeds on the Ribes 

 sanguineum the same species? 



Laverna Phragmitella, I. B., p. 238. The capture of 

 this insect by dozens in the fens this summer is one of the 

 most startling events of the year— as the specimens from 

 which my previous description was made were in a very poor 

 condition, I subjoin an improved description, and a figure 

 of it is given on the Plate (Fig. 2). 



Alts anticis dilute ochreis, costa pone medium dilutiore, 

 punctis duobus disci saturiore fuscis, albo-cinctis, in stria 

 fusca po&itis, puncto minore plicae, ft/sco. Exp. al. 7 — 10 lin. 



Head and face pale greyish-ochreous. Palpi pale greyish- 

 ochreous, dark fuscous externally. Antennae pale greyish- 

 ochreous, spotted with dark fuscous, with a dark fuscous line 

 along the elongate basal joint. 



Anterior wings pale ochreous. Tiie costa beyond the 

 middle almost whitish, a fuscous streak on the disc from the 

 middle to the apex of the wing, in which are two darker 

 fuscous spots, surrounded with white scales, one in the 

 middle of the wing, the other midway between it and the 

 apex of the wing ; beneath the first one, on the fold, is a 

 smaller fuscous spot ; hind margin and apex of the costa 

 spotted with fuscous ; cilia ochreous. Posterior wings pale 

 grey, with greyish ochreous cilia. 



The larva will probably be found to feed in the stem of 

 some plant ; much in the style of Laverna ochraceella.
