Micro-Lepidoptera Taken or Reared in 1874. 
By Mr. W. Macuin. 
I HAVE written out the following list of insects, which I 
have either reared from the larva or caught on the wing, and 
trust you may deem some of them of sufficient interest to find 
a place in the ‘ Entomologist.’ 
Depressaria depressella.—Bred in October from seed- 
heads of Daucus Carota, collected at Southend in Sep- 
tember. 
Lemnatophila phryganella.—Both sexes were reared in 
October, from larvz found at Lougliton, in July, on oak and 
hawthorn. 
Exapate gelatella.—Both sexes were reared in November, 
from larve found at Loughton, in August, on hawthorn. 
Tortricodes hyemana.—In February a number of strongly- 
marked specimens were reared from larve found on haw- 
thorn, at Loughton, in autumn. 
Epigraphia Steinkellneriellaa—Reared in March, from 
larve found at Loughton on blackthorn, in autumn. 
Llachista subobscurellan—Was tlying rather commonly on 
warm evenings, at the end of April, on Wanstead Flats. 
Corycia temerata and Swammerdamia comptella.—W ere 
reared in April, from larve found on blackthorn, at Loughton, 
in the autumn.
