Micro- Lepidopi era Taken or Reared in 1874. 

 By Mr. W. Machin. 



I HAVE written out the following list of insects, which I 

 have either reared from the larva or caught on the wing, and 

 trust you may deem some of them of sufficient interest to find 

 a place in the 'Entomologist.' 



Depressaria depreasella. — Bred in October from seed- 

 heads of Daucus Carota, collected at Southend in Sep- 

 tember. 



Lemnatophila phryganella. — Both sexes were reared in 

 October, from larvae found at Loughton, in July, on oak and 

 hawthorn. 



Exapaie gelatella. — Both sexes were reared in November, 

 from larvae found at Loughton, in August, on hawthorn. 



Tortricodes hyemana. — In February a number of strongly- 

 marked specimens were reared from larvae found on haw- 

 thorn, at Loughton, in autumn. 



Epigraphia Stein kellneriella. — Reared in March, from 

 larvae found at Loughton on blackthorn, in autumn. 



Elachista suhohscurella. — Was Hying rather commonly on 

 warm evenings, at the end of April, on VVanstead Flats. 



Corycia temerata and Swammerdamia comptella. — Were 

 reared in April, from larvae found on blackthorn, at Loughton, 

 in the autumn.
