566 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Hyponomenta padellus, and says " On apple, hawthorn, &c.," 

 ' Manual,' vol. ii, p. 308. I believe the apple-feeder is the in- 

 sect described by Guenee as Malinellus. The reason why these 

 insects are not described in my ' British Moths' is that they 

 belong to the section called Micro-Lepidoptera, whereas I 

 have only described the Macro-Lepidoptera. — Edward

Epunda lutulenia at West Wickham. — I have lately taken 

 two specimens of Epunda lutiilenta, both males, at sugar, in 

 our garden here (West Wickham) : one on the 15th, the 

 other on the 22nd of September. This is, I think, a new 

 locality for this species. — IV. A. Forbes; West Wickham,

Description of the Larva of Depressaria Capreolella, Zell. 

 — Length under quarter of an inch ; form rather slender ; 

 colour bright yellowish grass-green, slightly irrorated above. 

 Head glabrous, green ; eyelets pronounced ; lips dark. Corslet 

 bright green, bordered across the top. Dorsal and subdorsal 

 regions faintly defined; the upper papillae, two on each 

 segment, small, the lower ones larger, and the spiracles 

 plainly indicated. Spines few and small, except on the anal 

 segment, on which there are a few strong spines. General 

 appearance slender, cylindrical, bright green, irrorate. First 

 discovered by Mr. Hodgkinson and myself, on the Lindal 

 New Road, from Grange, in Cartmell, to Witherslack, feeding 

 on the leaves of wild carrot (D. Carota), July 29, 1871.

Note on Coleophora albicans. — In August, 1870, 1 collected 

 a lot of the young larvae of Eupithecia succentureata, feeding 

 upon Artemisia vulgaris growing around New Brighton sand- 

 hills, and upon the flowers of this plant 1 observed plenty of 

 young larvae of C. albicans just forming their curious cases, 

 so brought a bag-full of plants home, and planted them near 

 my bee-house on a waste place, where they could grow unin- 

 terfered with. In September, 1871, I observed a few cases of 

 the moth doing well; and in September, 1872, there were 

 plenty of cases, but I failed to see a single moth in any year 

 yet. Now, in October, 1873, there is no end of fine fat cases
