Found on the trunks of white poplars, at Wanstead and else- 

 where, in July. It is very active and difficult to capture.

Wood's figure 1193 does not represent this insect, it appears to 

 be a copy of Hiibner's figure of Zephyrella, 

 Taken in Epping Forest by Mr. Bouchard. 



Sp. 25. Contigua. 



Re. contigua. Haw. 



An. tricolorella, St. (non Haw.) Wood, 1215. 



Haworth's description is not sufficient to distinguish this species 

 with precision, but his own specimen is in the Collection of the 

 Entomological Society, with the name attached in his own writing, 

 so that I have no doubt this is the species intended by him. The 

 tricolorella of Haworth is probably the Anacampsis decorella of 

 Stephens, which is an Elachista. 



Not rare about Camberwell from May to September in white- 

 thorn hedges, in which many other plants grow. I know nothing 

 of its early states.

 This moth is also very imperfectly described by Haworth, but 

 the Entomological Society has Haworth's specimen labelled by 

 himself. I have often taken this species in sandy places at
