180 PORTLAND LEPIDOPTERA. 



PSYCHID.E, Brd. 



TAL^EPORIA PSEUD OBOMBYCELLA, HI. Cases not uncommon on stones. 

 * FUMBA ROBQRICOLELLA, Brd. (rion. intermediella, Brd.) Common, 



Cases abundant on stones. 



SOLENOBIA sp. Cases of a SoUnolia occur commonly on lichen 

 on rocks. In the triangular backwater by Portland 

 Station these larvae attach themselves to the lichen- 

 covered pebbles which are submerged at every tide, 

 and, judging by their numbers, seem to thrive. 

 There is very little wave motion in this enclosed 

 space, so that the larvae are not killed by the rolling 

 of the pebbles. The Portland colony, like the 

 Purbeck colony (E. R. B.), appears to be composed 

 entirely of parthenogenetic females, no males having 

 been obtained by breeding or otherwise. The cases 

 are unlike those of S. triquetrella, Fisch., and perhaps 

 belong to an undescribed species. 

 PSYCHOIDES VERHUELLELLA, Heyd. Common. Larva mining in 



leaves and sori of Scolopendrium vulgctre. 

 OCHSENHEIMERIA BiRDELLA, Curt. Sometimes common in fields on 



the top of the cliff. 

 BLABOPHANES IMELLA, HI. One by Mrs. N. M. Eichardson, 



Sept. 6th, 1894. 



LOMBARDICA, Hering ( = Heringi, Sta., Rdsn. See 



Ent. Monthly Mag. XXIX., 14). Common. This 

 species, which is allied to ferruginella, Hb., seems to 

 replace it at Portland, as I have not seen a typical 

 dark ferruginella from this locality. It is possibly 

 only a light form of ferruginella, but Major E. 

 Hering has no doubt of their being distinct. 



* This species is recorded by (C. W. D.) Proc. I., 24, under the name 

 of F. radiella, Curt., and in Entom. XXII., 58, by (C. P.) as F. inter- 

 mediella, neither of which has occurred at Portland.
