August among sea cabbage (Brassica oleracea), in the stems of 
which the larva feeds. 
S. perlepidana, Haw.— Local, but not uncommon where it 
occurs. ‘The imago appears in May, and flies freely in the after- 
noon sunshine. The larva feeds on Orobus tuberosus and O. niger. 
The species occurs at Darenth; near Strood; at Folkestone ; 
Tilgate Forest, Hastings; and Mr. C. G. Barrett has recorded it 
as being very common at Haslemere. 
S. internana, Guen.—Local. The imago is to be met with in 
May and June flying among furze bushes, and has occurred 
near Darenth and Tunbridge Wells; near Guildford, Epsom ; 
and Brighton. 
S. composana, Fabr.—This species is double-brooded, the 
imago appearing in May and again in August, and is common 
throughout, among different species of clover. The imago flies 
freely on warm sunny days, and the white under wings of the male 
render it conspicuous; the female is more readily to be obtained 
by sweeping the clover heads. 
S. flexana, Zell. = Weirana, Doug.—Not uncommon among 
beeches. The imago flies in June, and is to be met with more 
plentifully in the early morning by sweeping the tips of the 
boughs. The larva is said to feed between united beech leaves in 
August and September, and to pupate in a small whitish cocoon 
in similar situations. It has occurred at Mickleham, Tilgate 
Forest, near Hastings, &c. 
S. nitidana, Fab. = redimitana, Guen.—The habits of this 
species closely resemble those of the preceding, except that it 
frequents the oak instead of the beech. It is also smaller, 
commoner, and more generally distributed. ‘The imago appears 
in June; the larve feed between united oak leaves, and the pup 
are to be found enclosed in small neat cocoons between dead 
leaves in autumn and winter. 
S. Trauniana, Schiff.—Scarce and local. The imago appears 
in July amongst maple (Acer campestre), and its capture has been 
recorded from Plumstead and near Bexley. It has also occurred 
at Croydon. 
S. regiana, Zell.—Generally distributed. The imago appears 
in June and July among sycamores (Acer pseudo-platanus), and 
is usually to be met with in plenty on walls and palings near 
these trees. The larva feeds under the bark, and the pupa,
