OBSERVATIONS ON TINEINA. 25 



turns and mines up the mid-rib, then quits the mid-rib and mines a 

 blotch, from which it cuts out an oval case and descends to the ground; 

 64» 1<^6, 1. collected in numbers 15 and 2oYil at Eeigate ; mine com- 

 mences -whilst the alder leaf is quite small, and as the leaf grows it gets 

 a twist from the operations of the 1., so that by searching for the leaves 

 that are rather crooked, and especially by looking to the penultimate 

 and ante-penultimate leaves of the alder twigs, we may collect these 1. 

 in any quantity. L. at Stettin e.ix ; 1. at Haslemere b.viii ; i. bred 

 in a warm room e.X. Professor Frey once found an oak leaf, with an 

 oval hole cut out near the mid-rib ; this should have been the work of 

 T. sericiellum ; 68) 144, 1. common at Dunkeld, Pitlochrie and Blair 

 Athol, VIII, especially on one individual alder bush at the latter place ; 

 70> 10, not a single i. bred from the numerous 1. collected in Scotland, 

 VIII, '67. 



DOUGLASIA OCNEROSTOMELLA, 57, 125, bred from dead stems of 

 Echiuni viilgare. 



Argyresthia spixiella, 65 j 137, 1. V boring down the stems of 

 the flower shoots of mountain ash [the food was accidentally omitted], 

 whence some of the centi-al buds assume a withered and bro^-nish ap- 

 pearance, thus betraying the whereabouts of the larva. 



A. COXJUGELLA, 56j ^^, 1- 1^ in the berries of mountain ash; 70» 12, 

 occurrence of a most extraordinary variety of this species (or else some- 

 thing new to us) at Scarborough, vi, on the flowers of mountain ash. 

 Ant. w. entirely without markings, perfect unicolorous brown, much 

 darker than in Semitestacella, and with no purple tinge as in Semi- 

 fusca. 



A. ^RARiELLA, Stainton, 71, 100, n. sp., described ; several beaten 

 from oaks, b.vi ; plenty of mountain ash near, but none were beaten 

 from it, [Is not this the var. of Conjvgella, above mentioned ?] 



A. GLAUCINELLA, ^Q, 51, taken sitting on the trunks, &c. of very 

 old decayed oaks ; 57, 126, 1. feeds under the bark of oak and Spanish 

 chestnut; only found at the base of trees of enormous size; 58, 100, 1. IV 

 in the sound bark of oak and horse-chestnut trees, revealing their re- 

 treats by protruding a little reddish fi'ass from the hole. 



A. LiTERELLA, 62, 132, referred as an aberration to A. Goedartella ; 

 one captured at Le^Wsham among alders, e. Vll, 



A. ARCEUTHIXA, 56, 55, 1. V. (iv ?) in shoots of juniper. 



A. AURULEXTELLA, 58, 109, 1. mines leaves of juniper, e.iv.
