of larvee feeding in the shoots and buds, after the manner of 
Dicrorampha consortana. Subsequently comparing a full-grown 
larva with a short description of the larva of D. consortana, taken 
by me at Shanklin, Isle of Wight, in 1879, I found that it agreed 
exactly therewith. Profiting by my experience with consortana 
larve in the Isle of Wight, I selected all the infected shoots of 
Chrysanthemum and placed them in tins. The first imago 
emerged on July 15th and others at intervals, to the number of 
fourteen in all between that date and August 7th. The specimens 
are identical with the two captured in North Devon; and although 
their brighter ornamentation and more distinct character of 
marking would seem to separate them from D. consortana, still 
the fact of the larve from which they were produced being in 
structure, appearance, and habit precisely like those of consortana 
proves them to be this species. It follows, then, that if this form 
of consortana is identical with the distinctana of Heinemann, as, 
on the authority of Mr. C. G. Barrett, it is stated to be, the 
insect should be labelled in our collections as Dicrorampha 
consortana var. distinctana, Hein.—Ricuarp Sourn; 12, Abbey

CHRYSOCLYSTA BIMACULELLA AT WINDERMERE—On July Ist, 
whilst sweeping for Nepticula intimella amongst the sallows at 
Windermere, I was astounded when I saw in my net a 
magnificent specimen of this lovely insect. The sun was bright 
and hot, and a good stiff breeze on at the time made it difficult both 
to see and to get it to settle in the net. It seemed as if it knew 
it was specially wanted, and took all the breath I could spare to 
keep blowing it back. When boxed, I remembered the fate that 
befel some Lampronia luzella a day or two before, so I chloroformed 
it, and secured it safely witha pin. On the 5th I had another 
hard day, and took a worn female and a gem of a male. All were 
swept off the sallows. It is not every day to be met with, for I 
spent four days more without success.—J. B. Hopexinson ;

GELECHIA OSSELLA AT ARNsIDE.— Of this rare species I took 
one specimen each at Arnside and Grange-over-Sands, in July, 
1880 and 1883. I had only one old specimen of Wilkinson’s, 
Thanks to Mr. Sang for detecting them mixed up with Cleodara 
cytisella when he was here.—J. B. Hopaxinsoy.
