130 NEW BRITISH TINEIXA, 



Here there is only one locality bordering upon England, 

 but on turning to Duponchel we find " il n'est pas rare dans 

 le departement du Nord.'^ 



In May, 1857, passing through Brussels on my return 

 from Zurich, M. Fologne gave me some specimens of 

 Ypsoloplms ustidellus captured near Brussels, and two 

 years subsequently, when on my journey towards Ilatisbon, 

 he gave me some more specimens of the insect. Its occur- 

 rence as no rarity near Brussels led me to expect it would 

 ere long make its appearance in the British List. 



When at Brussels in September, 1862, Dr. Breyer gave 

 me some larvae of the insect, from which I made the fol- 

 lowing description on the 21st of that month : — 



" Length 8 lines. Dull green, inclining to yellowish- 

 green ; dorsal vessel darker green ; head large, dark brown ; 

 anterior half of the second segment brown, posterior half 

 blackish ; anterior halves of the 3rd and 4th segments 

 greenish, posterior halves blackish ; spots large and black ; 

 the penultimate segment with a dark green-grey ring an- 

 teriorly and another posteriorly. 



^' It feeds between united leaves of hazel and hornbeam, 

 and passes the winter full-fed in the larva state." 



In the latter part of October, 1867, tvvo specimens of a new 

 British insect were placed in my hands for determination, 

 and they proved to be the well known Continental species, 

 Ypsolophus ustulcllus. 



The caplor, the Rev. E. Horton of Worcester, thus writes 

 in the pages of the Entomologist's Monthly Magazine (vol. 

 iv. p. 152), " The finest was taken, with another as fine, 

 about eight miles from here. May 29th, 1864, sunning itself 

 on lime leaves. I took Roeslei'stainmia Erxlehella at the 

 same time. The worn specimen was taken close at home in 

 1865. I forget the time of year, but I know that I beat it
