TINEA TAKEN NEAR CAMBRIDGE. 83 
Laverna epilobiella, larvee common in shoots of Epilobiwm. L. decorella, 
one from thatch, in March. JL. rhamniella, beaten from buckthorn in the 
fen. I ought to be able to add L. phragmitella, but where it used to be 
abundant years ago in Burwell Fen, they cut all the herbage,—reed-mace, 
and all,—every year; and phragmitella ‘is gone for aye,” I fear, from there. 
Chrysoclysta aurifrontella, was plentiful in one bit of hedge at 
Whittlesford, but rare elsewhere. 
Elachista luticomella, a few under a sheltered hedge in our lane, 
Wicken. LE. cinereopunctella, E. nigrella, E. bedellella, and E. obscurella, 
were all taken sparsely in and about the fen, but the Elachistide were 
never plentiful all the season, owing I expect to the cold evenings with 
east winds. H. cerussella, flying over the bare spaces in the fens; common. 
E.. rhynchosporella, captured in same way as last, but rare. EH’. rufocinerea, 
abundant near Cambridge. FE. argentella, I did not see half a dozen all 
through the season. 
Lithocolletis roboris, bred from oak leaves from Girton. Li. pomifoliella, 
bred from hawthorn leaves ; the most abundant species here. L. spinicolella, 
bred from sloe leaves. LL. faginella, bred from beech. L. viminetorum, 
bred from osier from Ditton. JZ. quercifoliella, bred from oak; common. 
L. messaniella, bred from evergreen oak; swarms where it occurs. 
L. corylifoliella, bred from hawthorn ; is not very common. L. viminiella, 
from sallow. lL. heegeriella, rare; from oak leaves. JL. cramerella, 
common; from oak leaves. JL. schreberella, bred a nice lot of this 
handsome—but troublesome to pin—species from elm. L. tristrigella, 
bred from elm. LL. trifasciella, from honeysuckle; does not seem so 
common as it used to be. 
Phylloenistis suffusella, bred from ‘the slimy looking mines” of 
Lombardy and common poplar leaves, and aspen. P. saligna, bred from 
smooth-leaved osiers. 
Cemiostoma laburnella, common on laburnums. C. scitella, not 
common on hawthorn. 
Opostega saliciella, a single specimen in the fen. O. auritella, a nice 
series of about twenty at twilight and at light, for a short time early. 
Bucculatria crategi, beaten from hedges. B. boyerella, on elm trunks. 
B. frangulella, beaten out of buckthorn on the fen. 
A few specimens bred of Nepticula atricapitella, N. rujficapitella, 
N. anomalella, N. pygmeella, N. pomella, N. oxyacanthella, N. ignobilella 
(I had a good lot of larve of this, but nearly all were ichneumoned), 
N. gratiosella, N. marginicolella, and N. aurella, close the list. 
This is, after all, by no means a bad list, considering that we 
also collected the other divisions of Lepidoptera, and it serves to 
show what may be done in a single year. 
14, King’s Parade, Cambridge, March, 1886.
