86 [April, 



MicrO'Lepidoptera in Cumberland. — Crambus sylvellus {adipellus). — Not un- 

 common on very wet and boggy heath ground at Bolton Fell on June 26th. They 

 were flying among thousands of Pleurota hicostella, and were difficult to separate 

 from that species while on the wing. Two specimens came, later, to our sugar. The 

 ground which it frequented was so wet as to be difficult to travel over. 



Eudorea truncicolella. — In woods. E. muralis and E. cratcBgella. — Not common. 



Cryptoblabes bistriga. — A single specimen beaten out of birch in a large wood. 



Peronea mixtana. — On the heaths. 



Sciaphila conspersana, Dougl. — We took over twenty specimens on July 17th 

 in a corner of a large damp meadow, bordered by woods ; they appeared to frequent 

 black knapweed {Centaurea nigra), for wherever that plant was thickest the moth 

 was most readily disturbed. A few were beaten out of birch trees along the edge 

 of the woods. S. hybridana. — Found in the same woods. 



Penthina marginana. — Once taken in one of our woods, but locality uncertain. 



Sericoris conchana. — In marshy meadows. S. micana. — This species used to be 

 taken by the old collectors many years ago, but for the last ten years had not been 

 seen until last year, when Mr. Day and I found it in profusion, in one corner only, 

 of a meadow which was sheltered by a wood. It was flying among various grasses, 

 black knapweed, yellow rattle, and scabious ; the females seemed to outnumber the 

 males. 



Phoxopteryx Mitterbacheriana, P. uncana, P. biarcuana, — Found in various 

 places on the hills. 



Mixodia rubiginosana. — Beaten singly from fir, in May, in two of our larger 

 woods. , 



PMoeodes tetraquetrana. — In woods. P. immundana. — In damp spots among 

 alder. 



Grapholitha trimacidana. — Very few taken, and these all on walls in the town ; 

 one is an exceedingly fine dark variety. 



Carpocapsa splendana. — In oak woods. 



Salonota scutulana. — In marshy meadows. 



Retinia pinivorana. — Among fir trees in various woods. 



Stigmonota dorsana. — Four beautiful specimens of this rare species were taken 

 on May 23rd, flying among rough herbage on a railway embankment. S. internana. 

 — Six specimens were taken early in May, flying in the sunshine over furze bushes ; 

 with them was one specimen of S. coniferana, and another was beaten out of fir on 

 May 20th. S. nitidana. — Also in woods. 



Coccyx splendidulana. — Also in woods. 



Seusimene flnibriana. — One specimen only, beaten out of oak. 



Dicrorampha herbosana. — Very^common among furze bushes. 



Lobesia permixtana (reliquana). — In woods. 



Eupcecilia ciliella. — Common, Iflying among heather and coarse grasses, at the 

 end of April and in May. 



Scardia arcella. — A single specimen beaten out of hazel. 



Tinea misella. — Very common in a stable in the town, where it appears to feed 

 on the horse-corn, consisting of crushed oats, beans, peas, &c. T. fuscipunctella, T. 

 biselliella, in houses. 



Swammerdamia griseocapitella, S. pyrella. — In woods.
