NOTES ON LEPIDOPTERA TAKEN IN 1891. 83 
Argyrolepia sub-baumanniana. <A few, in one small locality only. 
Xysmatodoma argentimaculella. One specimen. 
Tinea bistrigella. Frequent among birch. 
T. albipunctella. Several in widely separated and totally different 
kinds of locality. 
T. arcella. Frequent. 
Adela fibulella. Abundant. 
Cerostoma vittella. Two examples. 
C. sylvella. One example only. Usually this is an abundant 
species. 
C. alpella. Occasional; in some seasons rather frequent. 
C. lucella. Four specimens; all beaten from the same oak-bush 
which has furnished fewer or more for several past years. I have 
never taken more than three or four away from this bush, and these 
were at no great distance. 
Psoricoptera gibbosella. A few only. 
Gelechia albiceps. One specimen. 
G. tricolorella. A few in one lane only. 
G. maculea. Several, in the same lane. 
Cleodora cytisella. A few, among fern. 
Cicophora flavifrontella. Two beat from oak. 
Glyphipteryx schoenicolella. Bred freely in August from seed-heads 
of rushes (Schenus nigricans). 
Tinagma betule. Abundant in June, July, and beginning of August, 
among birch-bushes. Numerous traces of this moth were found in 
birch-leaves in the previous autumn. During this last autumn, how- 
ever, I have, on the same ground, and searching equally closely, not seen 
more than half-a-dozen leaves with the characteristic oval piece cut out ; 
hence I suspect the perfect insect will be correspondingly scarce next 
season. 
Gracilaria elongella. One from alder. 
G. semifascia. One only. 
G. phasianipenella, var. quadruplella. I captured thirty on the 
heath near Wareham, and every one was of the above variety. 
Coleophora palliatella. Several of the curious larva-cases on oak, 
and two or three of the perfect insect. : 
Laverna propinquella. In damp woods and swamps. 
L. lacteella. In the same localities as the preceding. Query—lIs 
this really distinct from the preceding ? 
L. rhamniella. Several, among buckthorn (R. frangula) in a swamp. 
Chrysoclista schrankella. Abundant in May. The late summer brood 
scarce. 
Stephensia brunnichella. One, June 29th, just emerged from the 
pupa, and sitting on the leaf of a low plant. This is the first recorded 
capture of the perfect insect in Dorsetshire. Mr. N. M. Richardson 
subsequently met with the mines of this species at Whatcombe, Dorset. 
Flachista gleichenella. Frequent. 
FE, monticola. Frequent. I understand that this is now ascertained 
to be identical with F’. poe! 
FE. paludum. Pretty frequent from June 18th to September, in a 
swamp,
