THE TORTRICES OF SURREY, KENT, AND SUSSEX. 219 
flying slowly in the dusk along railway banks, roadsides, and 
broken ground. 
Tortriz viridana, Linn.— Only too common everywhere. 
T’. ministrana.—Generally common. 
T. Branderiana, Linn.—Widely distributed, but scarce. It is 
recorded from several Kentish localities—Darenth, Greenhithe, 
Folkestone, and others : the imago is not uncommon near Stroud, 
but flies high and is difficult to catch. It has been bred from 
Darenth Wood from united leaves of aspen, and the larva is also 
to be found between united or rolled-up leaves of other species of 
poplar, and of honeysuckle. 
T’. Forsterana, Fab. =adjunctana, Treit.— Distributed through- 
out, but not commonly: my friend Mr. Howard Vaughan met 
with some numbers feeding in rolled-up leaves of ivy in his 
garden at Bromley, Kent. It appears scarce at Hastings, the 
Rey. E. N. Bloomfield having only recorded one specimen from 
that district. It should be remembered that all the insects 
of this family come readily to sugar, especially if it is put 
on early in the evening. 
Dichelia Grotiana.—Distributed throughout the south-eastern 
counties, but not abundant; it appears a general feeder, but 
is more frequently taken among hornbeam, maple, and birch. It 
comes to sugar freely, and though it appears not uncommon 
in woody districts, is much wanted in collections. 
Amphysa Gerningana.—I have only seen a single example of 
this insect from these counties, which was taken by Dr. Batter- 
shell Gill in a wood in the north of Kent. I had the pleasure of 
seeing the specimen on his setting-board, so have no doubt as to 
the locality of its capture. 
Leptogramma literana, Linn.—Widely distributed, but not 
common, in oak and other woods, where it may be disturbed from 
the boughs and trunks of trees in August and September, when 
it flies a short distance and then drops and feigns death, and 
is seldom to be roused a second time, if missed at the first 
attempt. Hybernated specimens are occasionally to be met with 
in the spring. In Kent it has been taken at Darenth, Green- 
hithe, Folkestone, &c.; in Surrey, at Croydon, Haslemere, 
and West Wickham; while in Sussex it occurs at Hastings and 
Lewes. 
P. scabrana Fab. = boscana, Fab.—-These insects, which have
