TORTRICES IN THE VICINITY OF THE CHESHAM LINE. 135 



Stigmonota internana, Guen. ; Wilk. ; Staint. (Laspeyresia 

 internana, Mey.). — Common among furze at North wood. Occurs 

 in May and June, and flies in the afternoon in company with 

 Catoptria ulicetana, from which species the males may be detected 

 by their whiter hind wings. The females are more readily 

 obtained by beating the furze over the open net, and then 

 examining the latter. 



Stigmonota regiana, Zell. (Ephippiphora regiana, Wilk.; 

 Staint. Pammene regiana, Mey.). — Not rare in St. John's Wood 

 and Regent's Park. The moth is most often found in the morning 

 sitting on walls or palings under or near sycamore trees. June 

 and July. 



Stigmonota germarana, Hiibn. (Endopisa germarana, Wilk. ; 

 Staint. Pammene germarana, Mey.). — A few examples of the 

 perfect insect have been taken at Mill Hill and Northwood. The 

 larva feeds in rose-hips, and I have found the species in this 

 stage in Epping Forest and elsewhere, but so far not in Middlesex 

 or any other part of the area under consideration. 



Dicrorampha politana, Hiibn. ; Wilk. ; Staint. — Often com- 

 mon among yarrow near the Midland station, Mill Hill ; also 

 occurs at Northwood and Bickmansworth. June. 



Dicrorampha sequana, Hiibn. ; Wilk. ; Staint. (Hemimene 

 sequana, Mey.). — Fairly plentiful among yarrow at Mill Hill; it 

 occurs also at Kingsbury, Harrow, and Northwood. June. 



Dicrorampha petiverella, Linn. ; Wilk. ; Staint. {Hemimene 

 petiverella, Mey.). — Abundant among yarrow almost everywhere 

 throughout the area. 



Dicrorampha plumbagana, Tr. ; Wilk. ; Staint. (Hemimene 

 plumbagana, Mey.). — Common in meadows at Mill Hill and North- 

 wood in May and June. 



Catoptria albersana, Hiibn. (Grapholita albersana, Wilk. ; 

 Staint. Epinotia albersana, Mey.). — Occurs sparingly in May 

 and June at Northwood. The larva feeds in the autumn in folded 

 leaves of honeysuckle, and the moth flies towards evening. I have 

 not succeeded in finding the larvre at Northwood, possibly because 

 the food-plant there grows in tangled masses and is much mixed 

 with briars, bramble, and hawthorn. 



Catoptria ulicetata, Haw. (Grapholita ulicetana, Wilk. ; 

 Staint. Laspeyresia ulicetana, Mey.). — Common everywhere 

 among furze. 



Catoptria cana, Haw. ( C. scopoliana, Walk. ; Staint. Epiblema 

 cana, Mey.). — Kingsbury, Northwood, and Chalfont. July. 



Catoptria hypericana, Hiibn. {Grapholita hypericana, Wilk. ; 

 Staint. (Epinotia hypericana, Mey.). Chalfont, not common ; 

 occurs among St. John's wort in July.
