Homaeosoma nimbella Dup. Flamborough Head {E.H.) ; 



larvae in seeds of yarrow, &c., at Scarborough (T. W.). 



Mr. Sang records the variety saxicola Vaughan from 



Redcar, and I think it probable that the form occurring in 



the two other localities is this variety. 



Homasosoma nebulella Hilb. Not common. The larvae 

 feed in thistle heads in the autumn. 



Flamborough Head {E.H.) ; Scarborough {T. W.). 



Ephestia eiuteMa Hub. Probably common in suitable places 

 in all the larger towns. In a chicory warehouse at York 

 Mr. G. C. Dennis obtained in one piece from the ceiling a 

 tough compact web spun by thousands of larvse, measuring 

 between seven and eight feet in length, and four feet in 

 width (see Transactions of Yorkshire Naturalists' Union, 

 part i., 1877) ; Huddersfield (G.T.F.) ; York !! {W.F.). 



Ephestia flcella Dougl. Leeds {E.B.) ■ York ( W.F.). 



Ephestia pinguedinella Gn. Balhy \ {W. W.) ; Sheffield 



{A.D.); York {W.F.). 

 Cryptoblabes bistriga Hazo. A scarce species but has 

 repeatedly been taken. 



Doncaster ( W. W.); Huddersfield {FI.) ; York ( W.F. 

 and T. Wilson). 

 Plodia interpunctella Hub. The larva feeds in warehouses 

 on grain, malt, locust beans, &c. 

 York {W.F.). 

 Phycis betulella Goefz. The larvae may be found on the 

 upper side of birch leaves, at the end of May. 



Bramham {J.SfJi.) ; common in the Green Farm 

 Wood, adjoining Sandal Beat, Doncaster {G.T.F. and 

 WW.); Sheffield {A.I).) ; York ( W.F.). 



Phycis carbonarielia Eisch. Plentiful probably on all 

 heaths, and very partial to the burnt charred parts. No 

 species is more appropriately named than this, for the 

 larva, imago, and habitat are all equally black.
