A most extraordinary capture of 

 the larvae of this destructive insect 

 was made in 1892 in Station Road, 

 Hitchin, and recorded by the late 

 Mr. Frank Latchmore. Over 200 

 were taken wandering about a small 

 walled garden in search of a place 

 for pupation. Two or three young 

 aspen trees in the garden were liter- 

 ally riddled with goat holes. A 

 considerable number of these larvae 

 were sent to me, and I reared a 

 series of perfect insects from them. 

 This insect is too common through- 

 out the county

In 1893 the last-named observers 

 reported this moth as being common 

 at Hitchin. They obtained the pupae 

 from aspen trees in the spring

 formis, Hb.). Sandridge (Griffith); one 

 near Cheshunt station (Boyd)

Thisspecies which was taken in the 

 garden of Drayton Lodge, Tring, 

 by Mr. S. W. Jenney, jun., must, 

 I regret to say, be removed from 

 the Hertfordshire list, for Mr. 

 Jenney informs me that the spot 

 is in Buckinghamshire]

 List); Bayford (Boyd) 



In 1892 Mr. Cutts reported the 

 capture of this insect by a friend of 

 his at Sandridge. The Haileybury 

 specimen was taken in the Pavilion 

 field 



myopiforme, Bkh. Hertford (Stephens) ; 



Haileybury (Stockley) ; Cheshunt

Mr. Stockley informs me that he 

 took three specimens of T. myopi- 

 forme one morning in 1898, but the 

 insect has not been heard of again. 

 Mr. Boyd describes the species as 

 being common at Cheshunt 



formiciforme, Esp. Norton (Durrant) ; 



Cheshunt Marsh (Boyd) 



In a note attached to Mr. Dur- 

 rant's list Mr. A. F. Griffith states 

 that gentleman had informed him 

 that two specimens of this insect had 

 been taken at Norton by Mr. Chris- 

 tian

this insect was taken by Mr. Elliman 

 in June, 1893, on the Canal bank 

 near Drayton Beauchamp. As the
