Phoxopteryx siculana, one in the fen. LP. biarcuana, a few in the fen. 
P. paludana, a series in the fen, but was scarce last year; larve on

have seen it in swarms years ago. G. subocellana, two in the fen.

the fen.

taken, as it and the light are so soon gone; none came to our lamp-light ; 
Wicken Fen. ‘There is a larva in the dead pods of Lathyrus palustris which

common in clover fields. iS. regiana, one or two beaten out of an old 
mixed hedge; but I am told this is common at Ely on sycamore.

banks. 
Pyrodes rheediella, vot rare, flying in the sunshine along whitethorn 
hedges.
