THE TORTRICES OF SURREY, KENT, AND SUSSEX. 241 
A few years ago I took some numbers in Folkestone Warren, 
including a few of the variety Subcapucina, but have not met with 
it there lately. It also occurs at Birch, Darenth, Greenhithe 
Coombe, and West Wickham Woods. JI know of no Sussex 
locality. 
P. Hastiana, Linn.—Far more common than the preceding 
species, and generally distributed; the larva feeds in the terminal 
shoots of various species of sallow in July and August, the imago 
appearing in September and October. Wilkinson says a second 
brood appears in May, but these are probably only hybernated 
specimens from the autumn brood. 
P. umbrana, Hub.—This is another insect that we appear to 
have lost sight of lately. It appears confined to Surrey and 
Sussex, the localities given being Sanderstead and Mickleham, 
‘ and a single specimen recorded by Mr, Verrall from the neigh- 
bourhood of Lewes. The moth should be looked for in September 
and October, and occurs chiefly among blackthorn and whitethorn. 
P. ferrugana, Treit.—Distributed throughout, occurring 
commonly among birch and hornbeam. ‘The imago, which varies 
greatly in its colour and markings, appears from July till 
November, and is also common in the spring, after hybernation, 
when the specimens are generally in good condition. 
P. tristana, Hub.—Not uncommon where its food-plant, 
Viburnum Lantana, grows, and is more readily bred than 
captured. The larva is full-fed in August, the moth appearing 
in September and following months. In Kent it has occurred at 
Darenth, Greenhithe and Birch Woods; at Pashley, Lewes, and 
Hastings, in Sussex; and in Surrey at Wimbledon, Mickleham, 
Sanderstead, and Croydon. 
P. aspersana, Hub.—Common on all chalky downs wherever 
its food-plants, Spireajfilipendula (dropwort) and Poterrwm 
sanguisorba (lesser burnet) occur. 
Teras caudana, Fabr.— Widely distributed throughout during 
the autumn months, and sometimes commonly. At Folkestone 
I once met with this insect in unusual abundance and in every 
variety of colour from dusty to nearly black. The varieties 
ochracea, emargana, and excavana, described by Wilkinson, were 
tolerably common, as was also another having the ground colour 
of the fore wings dark red with mar kings indistinct, and of a dark 
brown colour.
