TINEA TAKEN NEAR CAMBRIDGE. 79 
common in Scotch firs. M. semipurpurella, scarce, hedgerows alongside 
pantations. M. subpurpurella, scarce, hedgerows alongside plantations. 
Nemophora swammerdammella, scarce, beaten from beech, Gog and 
Magog Hills. N. metawella, a nice set, flying from sundown till dark on 
sheltered sides of sallow bushes ; did not come to light ; Wicken. 
Adela crasella, on privet blossoms, in the sunshine. 
Nematois cupriacellus, one female on the ‘ Breck Sands.” 
Swammerdammia casiella, S. oxyacanthella, S. pyrella, bred from 
whitethorn. S. combinella (apicella), beaten from mixed hedge, Gog and 
Magog Hills. 
Hyponomeuta plumbellus, beaten from sloe bushes, Upware. H. padellus, 
bred from whitethorn ; scarce this year, though I have known the hedge- 
rows stripped in some seasons by the larve. H. cagnagellus, beaten from 
Euonymus, Upware. 
Anesychia funerella, flies at dusk; one hot night I took five dozen in 
less than an hour, all males, but I never got so many as a dozen on any other 
night ; seldom came to light; also bred from comfrey (Symphytwm); 1 have 
seen six or eight larve on the under side of a comfrey leaf, —some full fed, 
others only a day or two old. 4. decemguttella, found sitting on the plants 
of Lithospermum by day; many larve in September from same plants. 
Plutella cruciferarum, very common; an annoying little moth, but in 
fine variety ; a large ochreous brown var. occurs in the fen. P. porrectella, 
a fine series bred from dame’s violet (Hesperis matronalis). 
Cerostoma vittella, beaten from elm hedge. 
Harpipteryx «xylostella, bred from honeysuckle. 
Orthotelia sparganella, at light in the fen. 
Phibalocera quercana, bred from hawthorn, &e. 
Depressaria flavella, bred trom Lysimachia vulgaris; also at sugar and 
light. D. arenella, at sugar, and beaten from thatch. D. propinquella 
and D. subpropinquella, beaten from thatch. D. rhodochrella, one from 
thatch; I saw this rather common one season about eight years ago in my 
garden. D. alstremeriana, beaten from thatch. LD. purpurea, scarce, 
along hedgerows and from thatch; this used to be very common here 
twenty-five or thirty years ago, probably is now if I hunt the old places. 
D. liturella, two large, dark, and finely coloured specimeus, bred from sallow 
shoots in fen; probably ascended the sallow bushes to lay up for pupution, 
although my experience is that the larve of the Depressaria, like most 
other larvee, go down for that purpose. D. conterminella, bred from osier 
and sallow shoots; it seems almost impossible to cateh the imago in fine 
condition; seems to “waste” as soon as it flies. D. angelicella, a large 
series bred from Angelica; some nice vars., sometimes eight or ten larvae 
in one head. D. ocellana, bred from sallow shoots, finely marked, also at 
sugar especially, aud thatch. D. yeatiana, bred from rolled-up leaves of
