THE TORTRICES OF SURREY, KENT, AND SUSSEX. 85 . 
May and June among hornbeam (Carpinus betulus), upon which 
the larva is said to feed. 
Clepsis rusticana, ‘Treit.—Local and not uncommon. The 
imago occurs in May and June, flying over grassy slopes and 
damp places in woods. Messrs. Howard Vaughan and Sydney 
Webb met with it once commonly at Tilgate Forest flying in the 
afternoon sunshine. 
Bactra laneeolana, Hub.—Abundant in all damp and marshy 
localities from May to September. It is a very variable insect, 
especially in size, the largest specimens appearing about mid- 
summer. ‘The larva feeds in the stems of the common rush 
(Juncus conglomeratus). 
B. furfurana, Haw.—Local and not common. The imago 
appears in June and July, and occurs among rushes at Folkestone 
and other places in Kent, and a single specimen was taken at 
light near Hastings. 
Phoxopteryx siculana, Hub.— Distributed, but not common. 
The imago occurs in May and June among narrow-leaved buck- 
thorn (Rhamnus frangula), and the larva should be looked for on 
this shrub. It has occurred at Darenth, West Wickham, and 
Birch Woods; Croydon and Wimbledon; Tilgate Forest, Hasle- 
mere, Hastings, &c. 
P. uncana, Hub.—Distributed throughout in heathy places. 
The larva is said to feed on heath (Calluna), but I once met with 
the imago very abundantly flymg among some small birch bushes 
and dwarf sallows, on the leaves of which they were frequently 
observed to settle. ‘There was no heath near. The localities are 
Croydon, Wimbledon, Weybridge, Ashstead, Coombe and West 
Wickham Woods; Tilgate Forest, Hastings, Haslemere; Tun- 
bridge Wells, and Darenth Wood. 
P. biarcuana, Steph.—Local and not common. The imago 
occurs in June and July among dwarf sallows on moors and 
heathy places. It has been taken at Haslemere, Tilgate Forest ; 
Wimbledon, Weybridge; Darenth, and Tunbridge Wells. 
P. inornatana, H.-S. = subarcuana, Wilk.—Commoner and 
more generally distributed throughout these counties than the 
preceding species. It is double-brooded, the imagos appearing 
in the spring, sometimes as early as April, and again in Septem- 
ber. The spring brood is the more plentiful. It occurs at Wey- 
bridge, Wimbledon, Darenth, Tunbridge Wells, and near Uckfield.
