NEW BRITISH TIXEIXA. 49 



formerly taken both by Mr. Logan and by Dr. Lowe, but 

 which I believe has not been met with of late, and of which 

 the larva is entirely unknown to us. The difference in the 

 form of the hind margin of the anterior wings, and of 

 the outline of the cilia, should at once enable any observant 

 Entomologist to distinguish it from Z. Saxifragce. 



The habitat given for Z. fasciapejinella, in the " Insecta 

 Britaunica — Lep. Tineina," p. 193, is, "Occurs on the Pent- 

 lands, among Vaccinium MyrtiUus, in September and 

 October." 



Chauliodus daucellus, PeyerimhoiF. 



In a box of insects lately sent me for determination by 

 Mr. C. W. Dale, of Glanville's Wootton, who seems deter- 

 mined to tread in the footsteps of his late father, and to 

 make for himself a name in Entomology, was a specimen of 

 Chauliodus daucellus, taken at Freshwater, October, 1868. 

 Of this insect the natural history is given in the " jSTatural 

 History of the Tineina," vol. xii. p. 82 — 89, plate iii. fig. 1. 

 When writing that volume the insect was only known to me 

 from specimens from the south of France, M. Peyerimhoff 

 having first detected the insect at Hyeres and subsequently at 

 Cannes. As its food there is the common wild carrot {Daucus 

 carota), there could be no earthly reason why it should not 

 also occur with us. In the south of France the feeding larvae 

 are found in January and February, and the imago in March. 



The date of capture of Mr. Dale's specimen, October 27,* 

 agreeing with the time when Chauliodus cheer op hyllellus 

 appears in autumn, would imply that the larva might be 

 found at the end of August or early in September. 



* Since writing the above, I have heard from Mr. Dale of other cap- 

 tures of this species: at Ventnor, October 27 and 28, 1866, and at Fresh- 

 water, November 2, 1868.
