PORTLAND LEPIDOPTERA. 187 



COLEOPHORA BINOTAPENNELLA, Fisch. Chesil Beach. The larva, 

 which is common, mining in SaUcornia, does not 

 construct a case until nearly full-fed. When full- 

 fed, it crawls in its case down to the surface of 

 the mud. in which it spins its cocoon at a little 

 depth, leaving its empty case sticking up at the 

 surface.
