188 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



N. trepida. May 5th. Bred one fine male from an egg, 

 found on an oak at Lougblon in May. 



S. lunaria. May 12lh. Bred one from a larva obtained 

 at Longbton. 



At Loughlon, on the 15th of June, I met with G. obtii- 

 sana, S. puncticostana and Redimitana, and a few larvae of 

 S. Achatana ; one larva of A. flexula was beat out of 

 Prunus spinosa, bred on the 1st of July; and the larvae of 

 P. cytisaria, G. albipalpella, and C. genistsecolella, were 

 com))aratively common on Genista tinctoria. 



At Crohamhurst, near Croydon, in the evening of the 18th 

 of June, I took P. rugosana and E. lobelia, and P. dera- 

 sana were common amongst Rharanus catharticus, and the 

 pretty little M. trisignella were flying in numbers along the 

 hedges, as were also E. cygnipennella. Gelechia tricolorella 

 and maculella, and Coleophora solitariella : I have bred 

 these three species from Stt-llaria holostea, the latter in 

 some numbers. 



Eujioecilia udana. I have great pleasure in recording the 

 capture of thirty specimens of this local insect on Hackney 

 Marsh, flying in the evening, at the end of May, over the 

 water plantain (Alisma plantago), in the stems of which the 

 larvaj feed. 



Ephippiphora nigricostana. On the 20th of June I took 

 several of this insect, at Loughton, flying round some bushes, 

 amongst which its food-plants (Stachys sylvatica) were 

 growing. 



Carpocapsa splendana. I bred this on the 6th of June, 

 from larvae collected in 1870. — W. Macliin. 



L. Littoralis. — l had an idea that the occurrence of this 

 species on the coast of Hampshire in suitable localities was a 

 well-known fact. I do not take the insect, for the simple 

 reason that I seldom visit the localities where it is to be met 

 with. Several years ago I recollect taking it in numbers in 

 the neighbourhood of Mudeford, when on an Entomological 

 trip thither with my lamented friend the late Captain W. T. 

 Russell ; and on a subsequent visit to his house I saw rows 

 of tbe insect in his duplicate-box, so I suspect he found it 

 somewhat commonly. My friends, Messrs. Taylor and Stock, 

 have also taken the species in the same neighbourhood at a 

 much more recent date. — G. B. Corhin.
