10 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 
which at first sight I took to be a dwarf specimen of Elachista 
subochreella. It temporarily escaped from my net, when I noticed 
that its mode of flight appeared strange to me. I looked around 
for the particular grass upon which EH. subochreella feeds, but 
could not find any in the locality. I therefore in due course 
forwarded the example to my valued friend Mr. Stainton for his 
opinion. He writes to me to say that it is T’rifurcula pallidella, 
a rare species on the continent of Europe, and that his examples 
came from near Vienna. Dr. M. Wocke, in his catalogue of the 
Micro-Lepidoptera of Europe, says it occurs in Germany, 
Dalmatia, Italy, Sicily, and also near Brusa, in the north-west of 
Asia Minor. This species seems therefore to have a wide range 
of distribution. I have little doubt that I shall again take this 
interesting addition to our list another season. 
TrnEA MANCUNIELLA ?N. SP. 
During the first week in May last, I was standing on the upper 
step of the entrance to the Royal Exchange, in Manchester, when 
I saw a little moth flying about. I captured it with my hat. On 
my arrival home, my surprise was great to find a very perfect 
specimen of a Tinea unknown to me. This I also forwarded to 
Mr. Stainton for identification, and he replies that he knows of 
nothing like it, unless it is an albino Tinea granella, as the 
markings are similar, but the general colour is buff. I can 
scarcely think it is 7’. granella, for the time of appearance is too 
early for that species, and I know of no corn warehouse in the 
neighbourhood. Should this turn out to be a new species, I 
propose to call it Tinea Mancuniella, in honour of the city in 
which I captured it.

LIST OF CYNIPIDES TAKEN IN WORCESTERSHIRE. 
By J. E. Fuercarr. 
Tue following meagre list comprises the cynipideous galls and 
their originators hitherto collected by me in Worcestershire: 
nearly all were taken in the last five years. Without entering on 
the subjects of dimorphism and alternation of generations, I have 
divided them into two series, bi-sexual and uni-sexual :—
