INSECTS 



common ; 0. purpurana at Bentley and O. ericetana at Orford, while O. antiquana and O. striana 

 are recorded from several localities in the east ; Phtheochroa rugosana has been taken at Aldeburgh, 

 Chelmondiston, and Felixstowe ; and the rare Sciaphila sinuata at the latter place ; and we have 

 also S. communana and S. chrysantheana ; while C/epsis rusticana occurs at Tuddenham. Of the pretty 

 genus Phoxopteryx none seem to be common unless it is P. lundana; P. unguicana at Brandon and 

 Copdock, P. inornatana at Tuddenham, P. comptana at Leiston, and P. lactana at Brandon, Bentley, 

 and Assington, are all local ; while the rare P. upupana has been taken at Bentley Woods. 

 Of the numerous species of Grapholithidae may be mentioned Bactra furfurana at Lowestoft, 

 Grapholitha nigromaculana at Brandon, Elveden, and Aldeburgh ; Phloeodes immundana at Leiston, 

 Paedisca hilunana with P. occultana at Orford and Felixstowe ; P. oppressana at Brandon, Ipswich, 

 and Lowestoft ; Olindia ulmana, Semasla ianthinana, S. rufillana, and Hens'imeme fimbr'iana are all 

 local. The rare Coccyx ochsenheimeriana was taken by Mr. Warren at Brandon ; the pretty 

 Stigmonota regiana is not rare, S. roseticolana is found near Ipswich, and S. redimitana and S. weirana 

 at Bentley ; and Carpocapsa grossana at Flixton. C. funebrana, of which the larvae are common 

 in plums, is rarely met with in the perfect state ; Dkrorampha saturnana, D. plumbagana, and 

 D. simp/iciana are local, as are also Catoptria Juliana, C. expallidana, and S. candidulana, the last at 

 Southwold ; while Trycheris mediana is everywhere abundant. Of the Conchylidae the best are 

 Eupoecilia nana, notulana, and E. rupicela ; E. roseana, first taken in Suffolk at Bungay in -1905, 

 and E. vcctisana, which occurs plentifully in salt-marshes ; E. DeGreyana and E. anthemidana are 

 very local, and have only been taken at Brandon ; Argyrolepia Subbaumannia at Tuddenham and 

 A. xephyrana at Felixstowe. Of the interesting genus Conchylh, C. Francillana, C. dllucidana, 

 C. Smeathmanniana, and C. inopiana are all local, while C. beatricella was introduced into the British 

 list from specimens bred near Leiston by the Hon. Beatrice de Grey. 



TINEA 

 We can only mention a few of the rarer and most interesting species of this group. 



PSYCHIDAE 



Five species, of which Psyche radiella has been taken both in the east near Ipswich and west 

 at Lakenheath ; P. reticella at Hemley and Easton Broad in 1905. 



TiNEIDAE 



Of this family there are forty-one species ; and three of the interesting genus Ochsenhelmeria 

 have occurred, though none seem common ; 0. vaculella was recorded by Kirby, and has since been 

 taken in several localities, 0. hirdella at Thetford and Barnby Broad, 0. hisontella at Tuddenham 

 and Bentley Woods. Of the destructive genus Tinea some are very common, but T. imella has 

 only occurred at Brandon, and T. semifulvella at Copdock and Flixton. Of the beautiful long-horns, 

 Adela degeerella and viridella are common ; A. sulzella has been recorded by Curtis from Wrentham, 

 A. rufimetrella taken by the writer at Barnby Broad in 1905, and A. fibulella is occasionally met 

 with. Nemotois fasciellus does not seem to be rare, having been taken at Orford and several times 

 both at Ipswich and Aldeburgh, but N. minimellus only in Barnby Broad. 



HyPONOMEUTIDAE 



These comprise twelve kinds, of which Hyponomeuta evonymellus occurs at Thorpe and Orford, 

 H. virgiratipunctatus and Anesychia decemguttella at Bungay. 



Plutellidae 



Of the eleven species, Cerostoma sequella and C. silvella are scarce, Eidophasia messinglel/a has 

 been taken by Lord Walsingham at Copdock, Plutella porrectella at Hemley ; and Theristii caudella 

 would seem to be not uncommon at Bentley, though not met with elsewhere. 



Gelechiidae 



Of these we have about one hundred and eight species, but few of them can be noticed 

 Of the twenty-four kinds of Depreaaria the following are scarce : — D. umbellana among gorse,
