Micro-Lepidoptera of the New Forest, Hampshire. 

 By Thomas Boyd, Esq. 



A visit of a few weeks during the past summer to Lyndhurst and 

 the neighbourhood, has gratified, though far from satisfied a desire to 

 work the Micro-Lepidoptera of the New Forest, which was raised in 

 my mind by Mr. Douglas's paper in the ' Zoologist,' on the New Fo- 

 rest as an entomological locality : and I think the accompanying list 

 of some of my best captures among the Tineidse, will prove that it will 

 amply repay any Micro-Lepidopterist who will work it. 



I took Crambus silvellus rather freely, and as I still have some du- 

 plicates left, shall be happy to supply any one who may be in want 

 of the species. 



Should any one be induced to pay a visit to Lyndhurst at any fu- 

 ture time, I shall be happy to give him any information in my power 

 with regard to localities, &c. 



Crambus dumetellus. Middle of July. 



„ silvellus. On a swamp, July and August, apparently at- 

 tached to a very wet kind of moss growing at the edge of the swamp ; 

 easily disturbed during the day, and flying for a short time at sunset.
