242 Lord Walsingham on the Tortricidce, 



Mr. Gooch's specimens were " taken at Spring Yale in 

 December among trees." 



Since writing the above I have been informed that some 

 specimens of this species have been reared in England 

 from the hoof of a horse lately brought from Zululand. 

 (Proc. Ent. Soc. Lond., 1881, p. viii.) 



Tinea abactella, Walk., Cat. Lep. Het., B. M., xxviii. 

 476. 



The specimen from which Mr. Walker's description 

 was taken is in such bad condition as to be utterly 

 unrecognisable. 



Tinea incultella, Walk., Cat. Lep. Het., B. M., xxx. 

 1003. 



T. purpurea, Stn., Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond., n. s., 

 vol. v., p. 221 ; Walk., Cat. Lep. Het., B. M., 

 xxxv. 1812. 



T.fuscipunctella, Haw., Wocke Cat., No. 1404. 



T. abligatella, Walk., Cat. Lep. Het., B. M., xxviii. 476. 



T. ignotella, Walk., Cat. Lep. Het., B. M., xxx. 1003. | 



Having carefully examined the typical specimens de- 

 scribed by Mr. Walker under the above names, I am 

 unable to separate them from the common European 

 T.fuscipunctella, Haw. 



Tinea farraginella, Zell., Handlingar Kong. Svensk. 

 Vetens. Akad. 1852, pp. 90, 91 ; Walk., Cat. Lep.

Tinea ? erinacea (PL XI., fig. 12). 



Tinea erinacea, Walk., Cat. Lep. Het., B. M., xxviii.

It seems desirable to add to Mr. Walker's description 

 some further observations founded upon a careful exami- 

 nation of this most curious insect.
