LEPIDOPTERA IN WEST SUFFOLK. 221 



Qiiercus ilex, but, although there was a tree of this kind in the 

 midst of hawthorns on which the larvae of dodoneata occurred, 

 I quite failed to get any larvse on the ilex except a few of 

 Hyhernia marginaria. 



Pijraiista ostrinalis occurs commonly between Elveden and 

 Barnham. One specimen of Pionea margaritalis was trodden up 

 at Tuddenham, but I searched in vain for larvae later on. A few 

 larvae of Oxyptiliis distans were swept from a species of Crepis, 

 and I found occasional specimens in the imago stage in widely 

 separated localities. Larvae of Aciptilia galactodactyla were 

 common on burdock, and I got a single A. tetradactyla on New- 

 market Heath. 



Chilo 2)hragmitellus seems to occur in all the reed-beds here, 

 and a nice series was bred. Two specimens of Schoenohius forfi- 

 celliis were trodden up in the daytime on the edge of a pond at 

 Barnham, and I caught a single S. gigantelliis at Ampton. 

 Nephopteri/x spissicella was not uncommon at Ampton and West 

 Stow, and I bred a very dark form of Rhodophcea advenella. 

 Homceosoma sinuella was fairly common, and the thistle feeders, 

 H. nebulella and H. hincevella, were also obtained. 



In 1910 I paid a good deal of attention to Tortrices, and 

 among those obtained were : — Leptogramma literana, one at 

 West Stow ; Peronea aspersana* two at Newmarket ; Sciaphila 

 hyhridana, at Timworth ; Antithesia salicella, Ampton and West 

 Stow; i^e^i»ia ^imcok«rt, in numbers at Ampton; R. turionana* 

 one caught at Ampton, and two bred ; Padlsca semifuscana,* 

 and P. riihiginosana* one of each at Tuddenham ; Carpocapsa 

 nimhana* single specimens at West Stow and Livermere; Asthena 

 pygmceana* common at Troston, and also occurs less commonly 

 among spruce fir at other places in the neighbourhood ; Stigmo- 

 nota pedepidana* common at Ampton and Timworth ; Aphelia 

 osseana* common at Newmarket. 



Of the Psychidae, I found cases of Famea inter mediella not 

 uncommon at Ampton and West Stow, but all the imagines that 

 resulted, except one, were females. From a case of Talaporia 

 pseudobombycella found on a beech-trunk at Ampton I duly bred 

 the moth. 



The only Tineid new to Suffolk that I obtained was Steno- 

 lochia gemmella* from Culford. Other species were Adela riifi- 

 mitrella, Ampton and Timworth ; Cerostoma sequella and Depres- 

 saria hypericella, bred ; Lemnatophila phryganella, two at Ampton ; 

 and a nice series of Orthotalia sparganiella bred from larvae and 

 pupae found in a pond at Barnham. 



All the insects obtained at Newmarket were caught within 

 the Suffolk boundary. I have to thank the editor, Mr. Richard 

 South, for kindly determining for me many of the smaller and 

 less easily identified species. Those marked * are new to Suffolk.
