2896 Insects. 



Trifurcula squamatella. Three from broom at Charlton, August 1 1 and 20. It 

 appears to be rather later in its appearance that immundella. 



Trifurcula immundella. Common at Charlton among broom, August 9 and 11 ; 

 much wasted on the 20ih. 



Trifurcula palverosella. Two specimens from hawthorn, May 12 and 13. Among 

 my Mickleham captures of the beginning of July, is a specimen which much resem- 

 bles pulverosella, but is smaller, and has a gray head, yet the anterior wings are 

 darker than in immundella. 



Lithocolletis Roboris. Taken by Mr. Allis in an oak wood, near Huddersrield, 

 May 20 : it has also occurred near Wakefield and Chesterfield. 



Lithocolletis hortella. There is a fine specimen of this in Mr. Curtis's collection. 



Lithocolletis Amyotella. Mr. Allis took six specimens between June 18 and 25, 

 beating them from hazel, in^oak woods, at Lazenby, near Penrith, at Borrowdale, and 

 Birthwaite, Windermere. 



Lithocolletis lautella. Two from stunted oaks in hedges, May 25 and 26, and 

 twelve in the same locality, August 13 to 28. 



Lithocolletis pomifoliella. I feel now completely in the dark about this and the 

 cognate species, elatella, pomonella, securiferella, Junoniella, and am very much dis- 

 satisfied with my descriptions (Zool. 2091). I am tolerably convinced there is a dis- 

 tinct species, a beech feeder, of which my securiferella, and Mr. Sircom's fagifoliella 

 are probably varieties. 



Lithocolletis triguttella, n. s. This specie, which resembles the pomifoliella group 

 in having a basal streak, no fascia, and three pair of opposite spots, is readily known 

 by the basal streak being dark margined on both sides, as in lantella, but its most 

 distinctive character is the entire absence of a fourth costal spot. I have only seen 

 one specimen, which was taken by Mr. Douglas, from mixed hedges at Sanderstead, 

 May 15. 



Lithocolletis ilicifoliella, Sta. (non Z.) I took a single specimen at Wanstead, 

 May 3. 



Lithocolletis Spinolella. Two among sallows, on Askham Bog, near York, May 

 30; one attracted by light, August 11. 



Lithocolletis corylifoliella, Haw. St. Sta. (Zool. 2156), Betulce, Sta. (Cat.) non Zel. 

 Having had specimens of Betula? sent me by Herr Zeller, I am able positively to 

 affirm that our corylifoliella is not his Betulai, and consequently is a species not yet 

 known to him ; as Hiibner's name must fall on account of the vagueness of the figure, 

 there is no reason why this insect should not stand as the corylifoliella of Haworth. 

 I beat this from hedges from May 6 to 26, and July 28 to August 15. Many of the 

 specimens came from stunted oaks ; if an oak feeder, it is probably polyphagous, as I 

 have often taken it where no oal<s were near. Of the Scotch species allied to this 

 (see my Catalogue, p. 31), which may be a dark variety of Zeller s Betulae, I obtained 

 four specimens at Torwood, from oaks, June 1 and 5. 



Lithocolletis connexella, Z. Mr. Allis has a specimen of this ; it was formerly in 

 Mr. Hawortli's collection, and was labelled by him Mespilella, Var. 0. 



Lithocolletis scopariella. One on the Dartford Heath fence, June 27; five sitting 

 on the stems of broom at Dartford Heath, June 30. Mr. Vaughan met with a swarm 

 apparently of this species, flying round a furze-bush on Durdham Downs, at the end 

 of June. 



Lithocolletis Alnifoliellu. On Askham Bog, near York, among alders, May 3] ;
