THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Grapholitha ramella, Liun. (Hedya paykulliana, Wilk. ; 

 Staint. Cydia ramella, Mey.). — Often abundant at North wood 

 among birches in the summer. There are two forms, and these 

 occur in about equal proportions. July and August. 



Grapholitha nisella, Clerck. (Lithog raphia nisella, Wilk. ; 

 Staint. Epiblema nisella, Mey.). — Occurs sparingly at North- 

 wood, and most of the named forms are represented among the 

 examples obtained there. July and August. 



Grapholitha cinerana, Haw. (Lithographia cineraria, Wilk. ; 

 Staint.). — Abundant some years on grey poplar at Northwood. 

 A very much less variable species than the preceding. July. 



Grapholitha subocellana, Don. (Lithographia campoliliana, 

 Wilk. ; Staint. Epiblema subocellana, Mey.). — Of frequent 

 occurrence at Northwood, Mill Hill, and Chalfont, but usually 

 only observed towards evening when it flies over the tops of 

 sallow bushes. End of May and June, and specimens have some- 

 times been captured in August. 



Grapholitha minutana, Hiibn. (Hedya minutana, Wilk. ; 

 Staint. Cydia minutana, Mey.). — One example of this species 

 was reared from a pupa found in a spun-up leaf of grey poplar 

 at Northwood in the month of June. 



Grapholitha trimaculana, Don. {Hedya trimaculana, Wilk. ; 

 Staint. Cydia trimaculana, Mey.). — This very variable species 

 abounds during the summer months among elms in all places. 

 On the fences near the Kingsbury Station almost every gradation 

 in the variation of the species was obtainable in 1883, a year in 

 which the insect was even more abundant than usual. 



_ Grapholitha penkleriana, Fisch. (Lithographia penkleriana, 

 Wilk.; Staint. Epiblema penkleriana, Mey.). — Only obtained at 

 Chalfont and Chesham in July. 



Grapholitha n^evana, Hiibn. (Steganoptycha ncevana, Wilk. ; 

 Staint. Endemis ncevana, Mey.). — Not uncommon amongst holly 

 wherever that plant is established, but the species was of annual 

 occurrence in St. John's Wood, in gardens where there was not 

 any holly. August. 



Phlceodes tetraquetrana, Haw. ; Wilk. ; Staint. (Epiblema 

 tetraquetrana, Mey.). — Only noted from Northwood, but probably 

 occurring in other wooded localities also. Generally a high 

 flyer, and is on the wing around birch trees in the late afternoon 

 during the month of May. 



Hypermecia cruciana, Linn. (H. angustana, Wilk. ; Staint. 

 Enarmonia cruciana, Mey.). — Bred from sallow obtained at Mill 

 Hill, Northwood, and Eickmansworth. 



Batodes angustiorana, Haw. (Ditula angustiorana, Wilk. ; 

 Staint. Capua angustiorana, Mey.). — Appears to be pretty 

 generally distributed and sometimes very common.
