156 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



this species is to collect dead furze sticks, in any locality where 

 the insect is known to occur ; the wood should have the bark on, 

 and the more decayed this is the better chance of (E. lamdella 

 being there. It is better not to examine the sticks for the pupse, 

 for, in nine cases out of ten, in stripping off the bark the pupa 

 will, if present, be destroyed ; at least, such was my experience, 

 I grieve to say. 



Glyphipteryx Thrasonella, common in a water mead. G. equi- 

 tella, one example netted casually ; plenty of stonecrop grew all 

 over the district, so this species should have been common. I 

 remember seeing a number of the insect in a garden in Camden 

 Road, London, two or three years ago, among stonecrop. 



Argyresthia nitidella and A. conjugella, the latter among moun- 

 tain ash, but more often beaten out of heather in tbe vicinity of 

 the shrub. With these I must conclude my list of the Tineina 

 found in North Devon. As I have already stated, I took several 

 other species, but have not yet identified them. 



I append a list of spiders found in North Devon : — 



Araneidea. — Harpactes Hombergii, Scop., Linyphia hortensis, 

 Sund., Meta segmentata, Clk., M. meriance, Scop., Tetraquahba 

 extensa, Linn., Epeira cornuta, Clk., E. cucurbitina, Clk., Misu- 

 mana vatia, Clk., Xysticus cristatus, Clk., X. lanio, C. L. Koch, 

 X. luctuosus, BL, Philodromus aureolus, Clk., Micrommata virescens, 

 Clk., Ocyale mirabilis, Clk., Trochosa jncta, Hahn (alive), Lycosa 

 lugubris, Walck., Hasarnis falcatus, Clk. 



Phalangidea. — Urgabunus insignis, Meade. 



The collection was made by Mr. Edward Matthews and 

 myself, and forwarded to the Rev. O. Pickard- Cambridge, who 

 has been good enough to furnish the above list of the species. 



With regard to Micrommata virescens, Clk., Mr. Pickard - 

 Cambridge, says, — " These are fine examples, two males and three 

 females. I find- the females and immature males here and in 

 many other places, but have never yet met with the male adult 

 but once."
