HYPENA ROSTRALIS. 



the first moth emerged on the 21st, the second on 

 the 26th of July, 1890. (George T. Porritt, 14th 

 February, 1891 ; E.M.M., March, 1891, XXVII, 73.) 



Hypenodes albistrigalis. 



On the 3rd of August, 1875, the Rev. B. Smith of 

 Marlow kindly sent me eighteen eggs laid by a female 

 of this species, partly on a blade of rough grass and 

 partly on a chip box. 



The egg is small, and round above, a little depressed 

 beneath, and whitish in colour. 



On the 11th August they began to change to a 

 light drab tint, and by the 12th they were brownish- 

 grey, and a little darker on the 13th, when they began 

 to hatch, just previous to which the larva could be 

 plainly seen coiled round in the transparent shell. 



The young larva is of a drab colour, with dark 

 brown head, and rather hairy. Only one hatched, and 

 it was dead before I noticed it. None of the other 

 eggs hatched, being probably prevented by a coating 

 of sugar on them which had not been thoroughly 

 washed off, as I hoped I had done on their arrival. 



On the 21st August I received another batch of 

 eggs from the Rev. B. Smith. They were of a light 

 amber colour, laid in clusters and singly on Calama- 

 grostis alba. They were circular, flattened with a 

 slight eminence above in the middle, and very strongly 

 and numerously ribbed and reticulated. (William 

 Buckler, August, 1875 ; Note Book III, p. 23.) 



Hypenodes cost^strigalis.

For eggs of this species I am indebted to Mr. T. J. 

 Carrington, who sent me some on the 8th of July, 

 1868. Unfortunately I have mislaid the notes I took
