 diversana- — This species I used to take very commonly in Kidbrook Lane, 

 both in the larval and imaginal stages ; but the species strangely 

 •confined itself to a^hedge of elm, about 100ft. in length, and, although 

 there is plenty of elm in the neighbourhood, only solitary specimens 

 occurred elsewhere ; it flies in company with T. rosana at dusk, which 

 makes it very troublesome to take ; beating earlier in the evening is 

 best; I could spot the moths as they flew, generally lower than T. 

 rosana. T. cinnamomeana. — West Wickham ; July and August. T. 

 heparana, T. ribeana. — Everywhere ; on every tree and plant.
