Pterophori. 



Of the Pterophori mention may be made of Oxyptilus 

 laetus, Zell., which is found on the Suffolk border, 0. par- 

 mdactylus, Haw., taken by the writer in good numbers on 

 the Gogmagogs, and 0. pilosellae, Zell., taken on the Devil's 

 Ditch by Mr F. Bond, who also found Oedematophorus 

 lithodactylus, Tr. commonly at Whittlesford. Leioptilux 

 microdactylus, Hb., is common in Wicken and Chippenlmm 

 Fens, and at the latter locality Aciptilia galactodactylus, Hb. 

 also occurs; A. tetradactyla, L., has been taken by the writer 

 at Fulbourn. 



Crambi. 



Among the Crambidae, Ckilo phragmitellus, Hb. is abund-

 recorded in the "Fenland" list; the first two at Wicken, the

 pinguis, Haw., which occurs locally in various parts of the 

 Fens, and notably on a large ash tree in Lensfield Road, 

 Cambridge. Rhodophoea advenella, Zinck. is fairly common 

 in some hawthorn hedges, and Oncocera ahenetta, Zinck. 

 occasionally turns up on the Fleam Dyke. 



Tortrices. 



Although among the TORTRICES there are many local and 

 scarce species to be found in Cambridgeshire, comparatively 

 few are exclusively Fenland species. Tortrix dumetana, Tr., 

 is extremely local, but abundant at Wicken, as also are Peronea
