Insects. 7011 



latter characteristic is abundantly presented by the two species of this 

 genus, we may reasonably conjecture that they inhabit the interior of 

 leaves in the larva state. P. Leuwenhoekella is a very early insect ; I 

 have taken it on the 22nd of April. I have fancied it attached to the 

 rock rose. Singular it is that wherever I take the species there is 

 the Helianthemum. Most probably it feeds up in the autumn, but as 

 the above plant is almost an evergreen it might be worth while searching 

 for the larvae now. 



Acrolepia perlepidella, A. betulella. 



Roslerstaramia Erxlebella. Frequents heather and lime trees in 

 the perfect state, and reported to feed on the same, but the point wants 

 further elucidation. 



R. pronubella. 



Glyphipteryx fuscoviridella, G. Thrasonella, G. cladiella, G. ocula- 

 tella, G. Fischeriella. The first of these is a common insect in damp 

 places on heaths, flying amongst the short grass. G. Thrasonella 

 partial to rushes, perhaps feeds in the stems. G. Fischeriella frequents 

 blossoms indiscriminately, and affords us no clew to its habits. 



^chmia dentella. 



Tinagma sericiellum, T. stanneellum. Both species seem attached 

 to the oak, and the larvae no doubt have a similar habit to T.resplend- 

 ellum. 



Argyresthia semitestacella, A. spiniella, A. semifusca. 



A. retinella. Tn the shoots of birches in May and June ? 



A. abdominalis. In the shoots of juniper in May and June ? 



A. Andereggiella. In the shoots of wild apple in May and June ? 



A. pra3C0cella. In the shoots of Juniper? 



Zelleria hepariella. Bred by Mr. Stainton, but the larva not ob- 

 served. 



Z. insignipennella, Z. fasciapennella. 



Gracilaria stramineella, G. hemidactylella, G. falconipennella, G. 

 imperialella. 



Coriscium sulphurellum. 



Ornix devoniella. 



Coleophora olivaceella. 



C. orbitella. Has been bred from a case found on the stem of a 

 birch tree, but whether the larvae fed on^the leaves of the same remains 

 to be proved 



Coleophora deauratella, C. Fabriciella, C. vulnerarise, C. niveicostella, 

 C. apicella, C. squamosella. 



Stathmopoda pedella.
