b LEPIDOPTERA, 



gnawing holes in the leaves ; case fiddle-shaped, of various shades of 

 brown, darkest in the centre, not distinctly pieced. 



MiCROPTERYX Calthella, 55, 52 (74), a specimen bred 13iv, in 

 a tin which contained only a piece of decayed wood, a plant of Dactijlis 

 and a plant of Carex ; 1. unobserved; 70> 2, no information yet obtained 

 respecting the 1. of Calthella, Aruncella, Seppclla or Mansuetella. 



M. Allionella, 57> 123, many hundred specimens seen invariably 

 among Yacciniuvi 3Iyrtillus, flying over and sitting on that plant ; 

 62) 126, a whitish 1. (described No. 35) e.vi in birch leaves, suspected 

 to be that of this species ; the mine at first Nepticulif orm, the hromn 

 excrement completely filling the track. [None of these were reared, so 

 the 1. of Allionella is still unknown to us.] 



M. Salopiella, 55, 52 (74), occun-ence at West Wickham; 63, 

 154, bred at Scarborough [from 1. collected v in birch leaves.] 



I\I. UNIMACULELLA, 57j 123, bred from green pupai found in the 

 lichen and bark of birches; 62j 123, 1. reared from the Qg^ at Scar- 

 borough, mining in birch leaves; 62, 124, a whitish 1. in birch leaves V 

 (described No. 8 and 9) [also proved to be that of the species] ; E. M. ISI. 

 iii. 55, upwards of 80 specimens bred from the above 1. (No. 8 and 9); 

 63? 1^'l^j also bred at Scarborough. 



M. Sparmannella, 62, 122, bred ii at Eatisbon from 1. collected 

 VI in leaves of birch. The apod 1. makes large blotches in the leaves 

 in which the excrement, instead of being in round grains, is like short 

 lengths of black cotton [this is the specially distinctive character of a 

 ^Hcropterijx mine] ; the full-fed 1. quits the mine and descends below 

 the surface of the earth, where it forms a small oval cocoon, externally 

 bedecked with grains of sand. 



M. SUBPURPURELLA, 62, 125, 1. b.vi in oak leaA'es (described 

 No. 21), probably that of this species; 63, 154, bred from the above 1. 

 at Scarborough. 



M. FASTUOSELLA, 63, 154, bred from 1. mining in scarcely ex- 

 panded hazel leaves, m.iv at Aix-la-Chapelle ; 64, 164, 1. in hazel 

 leaves found at Manton Copse, near Marlborough, b.vi, only 1 1. 

 found, other mines all empty; 65, 132, nut leaves mined by a Microj)- 

 teryx 1. were again collected 21 v at Manton Copse; E. M. M. iii. 55, 

 IManton Copse revisited b.vi, '65, no 1. found, nor even a single mined 

 leaf; 13vi, '66, a few empty mined nut leaves were found in the same
