ca 
242 Lord Walsingham on the Tortricide, 
Mr. Gooch’s specimens were ‘ taken at Spring Vale in 
December among trees.” 
Since writing the above I have been informed that some 
specimens of this species have been reared in England 
from the hoof of a horse lately brought from Zululand. 
(Proc. Ent. Soc. Lond., 1881, p. viii.) 
Tinea abactella, Walk., Cat. Lep. Het., B. M., xxviii. 
476. 
The specimen from which Mr. Walker’s description 
was taken is in such bad condition as to be utterly 
unrecognisable. 
Tinea incultella, Walk., Cat. Lep. Het., B. M., xxx. 
1008. 
T. purpurea, Stn., Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond., n. s., 
vol. v., p. 221; Walk., Cat. Lep. Het., B. M., 
xxxv. 1812. 
T. fuscipunctella, Haw., Wocke Cat., No. 1404. 
T'. abligatella, Walk., Cat. Lep. Het., B. M., xxviii. 476. 
T. ignotella, Walk., Cat. Lep. Het., B. M., xxx. 1003. 
Having carefully examined the typical specimens de- 
seribed by Mr. Walker under the above names, | am 
unable to separate them from the common European 
T. fuscipunctella, Haw. 
Tinea farraginella, Zell., Handlingar Kong. Svensk. 
Vetens. Akad. 1852, pp. 90,91; Walk., Cat. Lep. 
Het., B. M., xxviil. 473. 
T. damnificella, Zell., Handlingar Kong. Svensk. 
Vetens. Akad. 1852, p. 91; Walk., Cat. Lep. Het., 
B. M., xxviii. 473. 
Tinea ? erinacea (Pl. XI., fig. 12). 
Tinea erinacea, Walk., Cat. Lep. Het., B. M., xxviii. 
475. 
It seems desirable to add to Mr. Walker’s description 
some further observations founded upon a careful exami- 
nation of this most curious insect.
