OBSERVATIONS ON TINEINA. O 



pected to feed in the capsules of Erysimum alUaria. [Since then bred 

 both from that plant and from Cardamine j^'^'atensis.'] 



A. SULZELLA, 62> 120, cases of 1. found b.iv under a hedge, princi- 

 pally privet, but mixed with rose, vetch and gooseberry ; i. fond of sitting 

 on the flowers of privet ; cases elongate, with parallel sides, apparently 

 made by additions spun round a central nucleus. 



A. OCHSENHEIMEEELLA, 68, 15 (v. H.), cases found V in fir 

 Avoods on the Taunus mountains, always under loose stones, few other 

 plants under the fir trees except bilberry ; cases not distinguishable 

 from those of Kemopliora pilulella ; i. e.V. 



A. VIRIDELLA, 56> 49, bred from a case found in spring amongst 

 fallen leaves; 58) 105, females observed aj^parently ovipositing on the 

 mid-rib of oak leaves, but no eggs discernible; OL 104, 1. collected freely 

 in flat, oval cases amongst the dried leaves at the foot of beeches and 

 hazels, b. IV. 



A. CUPRELLA, 61, 106, suggestion that the seeds of sallows should 

 be collected where this insect occurs, as thus the 1. might be obtained. 



Nemotois Scabiosellus, 56» 49, female imago observed apparently 

 ovipositing in flowers of Scahiosa columbaria — "she had the usual 

 straining and thrusting motion, and after apparently laying an egg in 

 one place, crept across the flower and again thrust in her abdomen ;" 

 {)8, 105, females again detected ovipositing in flowers of ScaMosa 

 arvetisis and eggs found ; 61» 106, bred from S. arvensis; eggs laid in 

 the fructification of the Scahiosa flowers ; young 1, eats out a seed and 

 uses the husk as a case, boring into other seeds; larger 1. construct cases 

 of pieces of dried leaves, and feed on the leaves of Scahiosa and other 

 low plants; 62> 121, 1. more than twelve months old, still living ix, 

 hence this species, as well as N. violellus and N. "minimellus, will often 

 spend two winters in the 1. state. 



N. CUPEIACELLUS, 61, 107, Capture of male specimens; females ob- 

 served depositing their eggs in the flowers of the scabious at Hampstead. 



By collecting flower heads of Scahiosa succisa in Epping Forest ix, 

 and keeping them for some time, some small cases tenanted by 1., no 

 doubt referable to the genus Nemotois, were obtained; 62, 121, many 

 of these 1. lived through the winter, but no i. was reared. 



N. FASCIELLUS, 58, 105, two Specimens Vll at Darenth, on flowers 

 of a dwarf umbelliferous plant; 62, 121, 1. found e.iii amongst the 

 radical leaves of Ballota nigra, on which they fed rather voraciously,
