THE TORTRICES OF SURREY, KENT, AND SUSSEX. 159 
ripe berries of the hawthorn late in the autumn, and to hybernate 
in a silken cocoon on the surface of the ground. 
S. rujillana, Zell.—Not uncommon where its food-plant, the 
wild carrot (Daucus carota), occurs. ‘The imago appears in July 
and August, and flies in the sunshine; it is more abundant near 
the coast. The larva feeds in the autumn in the seed-heads of 
the wild carrot; hybernates and pupates in the spring. The 
localities are Croydon, Mickleham, Box Hill, Sanderstead ; 
Darenth, Gravesend, Deal, Dover, Canterbury, and Folkestone ; 
Worthing, Eastbourne, Brighton, Xc. 
S. Weberana, Schitf.—Abundant in all orchards and fruit 
gardens. The larva feeds on the inner bark of all kinds of fruit 
trees, and also common laurel. ‘The imago appears continuously 
throughout the summer, and may be found at rest on the stems 
of the fruit trees; and also captured on the wing at dusk. 
Coccyx strobilella, Linn.—Distributed among spruce firs. 
The larva feeds in the spruce fir cones, which should be gathered 
during the winter. The imago appears in May. This insect is 
more easily reared than captured. 
C.. splendidulana, Guen.—Common throughout among oaks. 
The imago appears in April and May, and flies in the afternoon 
sunshine; and is very partial to the flowers of the holly; it is 
also to be found on the trunks of the trees. The larva feeds on 
oak; and I have bred this species in plenty from galls when 
rearing Ephippiphora obscurana, but I am inclined to think the 
larva only entered the galls for pupation. 
C. vernana, Kngs.—Named by Dr. Knaggs (EK. M. M. iv. 122), 
from three specimens taken by Mr. EK. G. Meek, in Darenth Wood, 
towards the end of March, 1866. I am not aware of its subsequent 
occurrence, and am inclined to believe the examples above 
mentioned to be small specimens of H. obscurana, to which 
Dr. Knaggs’ description applies equally well. Nothing is known 
of its earlier stages. 
C. argyrana, Hub.—Abundant among oaks in April and May. 
The imago is to be found at rest on the trunks of the trees. 
C. pygmeana, Hub.—The imago appears in April and May 
‘among fir trees, and is very scarce in this country. It has, 
I believe, occurred sparingly in Surrey. 
C. hyrciniana, Uslar.—Not uncommon among spruce firs. 
The imago flies freely at dusk in May and June. Mr. C. G.
