OBSERVATIONS ON TINEINA. 23 



RoSLERSTA3iMlA Erxlebella, 57, 125, Occurrence in plenty, e.V. 

 b.Vl, on lime trees near Bristol; E. M. M. iii. 79, bred at Hanover from 

 I. which fed on the leaves of the lime; when yonng they are miners, but 

 when about half-grown they quit their mines and gnaw the underside 

 of the leaf. There are two broods in the year. 



R. PRONUBELLA, W. V., 55, i^ (67), described ; 1 specimen v in 

 Sutherlandshire; [" the exact spot" was " a birch wood on the banks of 

 the River Shin;" " beaten from beech." E. C. Buxton, Entomologist, 

 iii. 24]. 



Glyphipteryx cladiella, Stainton, 59, 153, n. sp. ; a brief 

 diagnosis ; allied to G. Thrasonella, but with no silvery streaks ; 

 collected at Wicken Fen near Cambridge, flying singly over the tall 

 hedge. 



G. Haworthaxa, 56, 54:,1. during the winter in the prostrate heads 

 of cotton-grass (Eriophorum) ; E. M. M. iii. SO, occurrence at Hasle-

G. SCHCENICOLELLA, Boyd, 59, 153, n, sp., briefly described; taken 

 at the Lizard in Cornwall, amongst Sclicemis nigricans, also bred from 

 the seed heads of that plant e.v. 



G. FiscHERiELLA, 62, 131, 132, bred v. from 1. feeding viii in the 

 seeds of Dactylis glomerata. [In August, 1869, this larva came 

 before me as a most mischievous little pest, the following letter having 

 been written by an agriculturist in Westmoreland to the Editor of the 

 Gardener's Chronicle: " I shall be much obliged by your telling me the 

 name of the small maggots which I enclose. To insure its being pure, 

 I have for several years collected my own cock's-foot grass seed. Last 

 year, I am told there were a few, this year the sacks are covered with 

 the maggots and the close white web which they have spun, and of 

 which I enclose some. Do they feed on the seed ? Curious to say 

 they are not in the sacks with the seed, but outside, having left the 

 seed." These " small maggots," of which I received several hundreds, 

 were undoubtedly the larvie of Glyphlpter-yx Flscheriella, then about 

 fed up.] 



iEcHMiA DEXTELLA, 70, 10, bred from 1. feeding vii in the seeds 

 of Angelica; a somewhat allied but browner and narrower-winged 

 insect, bred from seeds of Laserpitiwn. 



Heydenia (Asychxa) profugella, Zeller, 56, 38, n. sp,, de-
