A HISTORY OF SUFFOLK 



D. cnicella on Eryngium at Southwold, D. chaerophylli on Chaerophyllum temulum, D. granulosella 

 on Anthriscus vulgaris, D. badiella and D. ciliella. Of the sixty species of the old genus Gelechia, 

 G. gerronella, G. celeraella, G. picieila, G. Lyellella, G. Hermannella, G. sequax, and G. alacella are 

 all scarce. The little Clcodora cytisella has lately been proved to feed on the brake-fern, among 

 which it is usually taken. To these we may add Hypsilophus fasciellus at Tuddenham, Nothris 

 verbascella at Bury on Vnbascum pulverulentum, Dasyctra olivierella at Stratford St. Mary and 

 Felixstowe. Oecophora lunarls is rather common about Ipswich, and the larger O. lamhdtlla, whose 

 larvae feed in the stems of gorse, has been taken at Aldeburgh, Leiston, and Southwold ; the very 

 rare Butalh cicadclla has occurred singly at Brandon and Tuddenham ; B. grandipmnis also feeds on 

 the furze bushes in the latter locality. 



Glvphipterygidae 



Of our nine species we need only mention RosUrstammia trxlehenella from Ipswich, and the 

 rare Perithia obscurepunctella from Copdock. 



Argyresthiidae 



Of the sixteen species scarcely any are rare ; Cedtstis Gysselinella, which used to be considered 

 a northern species, is now not uncommon in the Breck district, and Zelleria hepariella was taken at 

 Leiston by the Hon, Beatrice de Grey. 



Gracilaridae 



Of the eleven species, several hibernate and are found in the spring ; Gracillar'ta stigmatella is 

 then seen not uncommonly ; the larvae of G. tringipennella mine the leaf-stalks of the ribwort 

 plantain, G. elongella is found among poplar, and the larvae of Corisctum Brongniartellum lives beneath 

 the cuticle of oak-leaves, causing extensive bladdery mines. 



COLEOPHORIDAE 



Lord Walsingham records the rare Cohophora inflatae from Brandon, where occurs the very 

 local C. saturatella. None of the larger species seem common, but C. anatipennella is found at 

 Aldeburgh and Bentley Woods, C. palUatella at Copdock, C. currucipennella at Aldeburgh, 

 C. siccifoliella makes its case of a dead leaf at Lowestoft, and C. fiavaginella occurs at Kessingland. 

 We have, in all, about twenty-seven species of this family. 



Elachistidab 



The thirty species include the curious and very local Stathmopoda pedella, Bachtrachedra 

 pinicolella, the brilliant Cosmopteryx eximia, Laverna lacteella, and the pretty Stephens'ta Brunnichella, 

 all of which are rare and local. 



LiTHOCOLLETIDAE 



Most of our fifteen species are common, but LithocolUtis hortella and L. scopariella, both from 

 Brandon, are scarce and rarely met with, and L. itettinensis was first found at Foxhall, among alders, 

 by the writer in 1907. 



Lyonetidae 



Of the ten species we need only mention Opoitega saliciella and Bucculatrix Boyerella, both 

 from Southwold. 



Nepticulidae 



These tiny moths have been much neglected, only twenty species being recorded ; they 

 include Neptkula basiguttella and N. viscerella, both from Tuddenham, A'^. trimaculella from 

 Brandon, and Bohemannia quadrlmacuhlla from Lowestoft and Fritton.
