OBSERVATIONS ON TINEINA. 21 



They were very like the larvae of Gelechia fceniolella, and 

 also reminded me stronojly of those of G. alhipalpella ; yet 

 the insects bred from them on the 1st and 8th of July were 

 veritable Vorticella, with the anterior wings shorter than in 

 Ligulella, 



The larva I have described thus : — 



Length 5 lines. Reddish, mixed with pale green ; the 

 latter colour prevailing on the anterior half of the larva; 

 head pale-yellowish brown ; the second segment with four 

 black semi-lunules above, the inside of these lunules being 

 filled up with yellowish-brown. 



Gelechia Savgiella, Stainton (Entomologist's Annual, 

 1863, p. 149). Of the larva of this species I received some 

 specimens from Mr. Sang on the 20th of June. The larva 

 feeds between the united leaves of Lotus corniculatus. I 

 have described it thus : — 



Length 4 lines. Reddish-brown ; between the, anterior 

 segments whitish-green, and with a slender whitish dorsal 

 line as far as the fourth segment; head yellowish-brown; 

 the second segment with a black plate, above divided down 

 the middle. 



In form this larva is stout in the middle and much attenu- 

 ated in front. 



Gelechia atrella. Haw. This insect has been bred by 

 Mr. W. R. Jeffrey, of Satfron Walden. On the 7th of May 

 last Mr. Jeffrey wrote to me : " In the tin box you will find 

 a few young plants of Hypericumy in the stems of which a 

 peculiar-looking larva is mining, and causing the tops to 

 droop. This drew my attention to them, but after finding 

 the first one it was a long time before I could see anothei', 

 and after all I only secured some seven or eight," 



This larva I have described thus : — 



Length 3 lines. Glassy, faintly marbled with darker and
