TORTRICES IN THE VICINITY OF THE CHESHAM LINE. 117 



Eucosma rivulana, Mey.). — Some years pretty common in meadows 

 at Northwood and Mill Hill. 



Sericoris lacunana, Dup. ; Wilk. ; Staint. (Eucosma lacu- 

 nana, Mey.). — Generally abundant. 



Euchromia purpurana, Haw. ; Wilk. ; Staint. (Eucosma pur- 

 purana, Mey.). — Once at Chalfont. 



Orthot^nia antiquana, Hiibn. ; Wilk. ; Staint. (Eucosma 

 antiquana, Mey.). — One fine fresh example of this species was 

 found on a shop window in St. John's Wood. It had probably 

 been brought in from the country as a larva or a pupa. 



Orthotjenia striana, Schiff. (Euchromia striana, Wilk. ; 

 Staint. Eucosma striana, Mey.). — I have only met with this 

 at Chalfont. 



Orthot^enia branderiana, Linn. (Euchromia branderiana, 

 Wilk. ; Staint. Eucosma brancleriana, Mey.). — Sometimes met 

 with in the larval stage in folded leaves of grey poplar at North- 

 wood, but I have only twice seen the moth there. 



Phtheochroa rugosana, Hiibn. ; Wilk. ; Staint. (Commophila 

 rugosana, Mey.). — Once met with in a field at Kingsbury near 

 the dam of the Welsh Harp Eeservoir. 



Cnephasia musculana, Hiibn. (Lozotcenia musculana, Wilk. ; 

 Staint. Caccecia musculana, Mey.). — Generally distributed and 

 common almost throughout the whole district, but most fre- 

 quently met with in lanes bordering woods. 



Sciaphila nubilana, Hiibn. (Cnephasia nubilana, Wilk. ; 

 Staint. Tortrix nubilana, Mey.). — Common in most hedgerows. 



Sciaphila virgaureana, Tr. (Cnephasia virgaureana, Wilk. ; 

 Staint. Tortrix virgaureana, Mey.). — A very abundant species, 

 and as variable as it is common. 



Sciaphila hybridana, Hiibn. (Cnephasia hybridana, Wilk. ; 

 Staint. Isotrias hybridana, Mey.). — Widely distributed and 

 often common in certain hedgerows. 



Sphaleroptera ictericana, Haw. ; Wilk. ; Staint. (Tortrix 

 longana, Mey.). — In meadows at Northwood in July. 



Bactra lanceolana, Hiibn. ; Wilk. ; Staint. ; Mey. — Common 

 in most marshy places, but there is less variation among the 

 specimens than is found in some localities south of London. The 

 moth is on the wing throughout the summer. 



Phoxopteryx lundana, Fabr. (Anchylopera lundana, Wilk. ; 

 Staint. Ancylis lundana, Mey.). — Common in lanes at Chalfont. 

 There are two broods, the first appearing in May and the second 

 in August. 



Phoxopteryx mitterbacheriana , Schiff. (Anchylopera mitter- 

 bacheriana, Wilk. ; Staint. Ancylis mitterbacheriana, Mey.). — I 

 have only met with this species at Chalfont. May and June.
