7012 Insects. 



Cosmopteryx Lienigiella. 



Batrachedra pinicolella. 



Chauliodus insecurellus. Probably feeds on one of the Urabelli- 

 feiae. 



Laverna Stephens!, L. decorella, L. subbistrigella, L. rhamniella. 



Chrysoclista bimaculella. 



C. flavicaput. I have an idea that this feeds in decayed hawthorn 

 stumps. 



Asychna modestella. Another diflSculty. A very abundant insect 

 where it occur>, on the flowers of the stitchwort, but like some other 

 species this habit may have nothing to do with the food of the larva. 

 It is difl5cult, however, to disconnect the plant and insect one from 

 another. It is also supposed to frequent oaks. 



Elachista apicipunctella, E. flavicomella, E. Holdenella, E. stabi- 

 lella, E. humilis, E. consortella, E. obliquella, E. cingillella, E. serri- 

 cornis, E. collitella, E. dispunctella, E. ochreella. These are all most 

 probably grass feeders, and a few seasons will no doubt put us in pos- 

 session of their complete history. 



Lithocolletis nigrescentella, L. triguttella, L. scopariella, L. ulici- 

 colella. Four species of which very little is known ; the two first are 

 unique. L. scopariella is supposed to feed on the broom, and Mr. 

 Stainton suggests April and May as the feeding-time of the larvae. 



Opostega salaciella, O. auritella, O. crepusculella, O. spatulella. All 

 the species frequent damp places amongst grass. O. salaciella I have 

 found repeatedly after the usual time of flight sitting on broom 

 twigs. 



Nepticula intimella, N. headleyella, N. apicella, N. sericopeza, N. 

 quinquella. Time and perseverance will work out the history of these 

 entomological atoms. 



Trifurcula atrifrontella, T. squamosella, T. immundella. I have an 

 indistinct remembrance of noticing a mine similar to that of T. pulve- 

 rosella in the leaves of broom. This may be T. immundella. 



Bohemanuia quadrimaculella. 



Charles Miller. 



March 14, 1860.
