PORTLAND LEPIDOPTERA. 173 



PHYCID^E, Gn. 

 ANERASTIA LOTELLA, Hb. Common amongst marram-grass on 



Chesil Beach. 



EPISCHNIA BANKESIELLA, Rdsn. Scarce and local. This species, which 

 I first found and described as new to science in 1887 

 (Ent. Monthly Mag. XXV., 63 ; Proc. X., 192 and 

 plate, p. 197, figs. 1, la, Ib ; also XV., 66) has not 

 yet been recorded from any other part of the world.* 

 ILYTHYIA SEMIRUBELLA, Scop. Not uncommon below the prison ; 



very local. 



HOJLEOSOMA SINUELLA, Fb. Generally distributed and locally common. 

 NIMBELLA, Dup. Larva common in Matricaria 



inodora, and some other composite flowerheads. 

 NEBULELLA, Hb. Two in 1888 and 1889 (C. P.) ; 



one in 1894 (N. M. R.) 

 BIN^EVELLA, Hb. Moderately common. 

 EPHESTIA ELUTELLA, Hb. Occasionally on the undercliff. 



SEMIRUFA, St. One near Pennsylvania, June 29th, 1889 

 (N. M. R.) The two specimens recorded Proc. I., 

 59, as taken by (0. P. C.) were not this species. 

 EUZOPHERA CINEROSELLA, Zell. Larva common in stems of 



Artemisia absynthium. 



CRYPTOBLABES BISTRIGA, Haw. One in 1856 (0. P. C.). 

 GYMNANCYCLA CANELLA, Hb. Larva on Salsola kali, Chesil Beach. 

 PHYCIS FUSCA, Haw. One June 18th, 1887 (N. M. R.) 



,, DILUTELLA, Hb., common. A great range of variation from 

 typical var. adornatella to specimens closely ap- 

 proaching the I. of Man var. subornatella.-f (Ent. 

 Monthly Mag. XXVI., 20, 139.) 



* Since the above was written, I took a specimen at Luhvorth, in July, 

 1896. The species doubtless occurs along the coast towards Swanage 

 (N. M. R.) 



t NOTE. A very worn specimen taken by (C. W. D.) at Portland is 

 recorded (Proc. I., 59) as P. ornatella, Schiff. It is, in my opinion, 

 certainly not that species, and may belong to P. pahimbella, Fb., but 

 its identity is doubtful owing to its condition, (N. M. R.)
