ACROBASIS CONSOCIELLA. 



Plate CLVIII, fig. 4. 



Several larvce in twisted-up leaves of oak spun 

 together, the leaves having the green cuticle dissected 

 away, and quantities of frass spun up with them, 

 were found by the Rev. H. Shean at Watergate 

 Hanger, on the 3rd of June, 1870. 



The full-grown larva is about five-eighths of an 

 inch long, and rather slender; there is only one 

 subdividing wrinkle across each segment; the head 

 and the plate on the second segment pale brown, with 

 a black dot in front of each lobe of the head; the 

 ground colour is greenish-grey ; a smoky olive dorsal 

 stripe, and a subdorsal one also ; this last is followed 

 by a stripe apparently paler than the ground colour, 

 but in reality the same tint and with a smoky olive 

 stripe below it, with the black spiracles on its lower 

 edge ; the segments and subdividing folds are deeply 

 cut; the anterior pair of dots only are seen and are 

 of a dark smoky olive. (William Buckler, June, 1870; 

 Note Book I, 1.) 



In the middle of June last, 1878, Mr. Hodgkinson 

 sent me a few larvas of Bliodophdea consociella, found 

 by him at Arnside. 



They were not active ; they w 7 ere cylindrical, with 

 rather long delicate bristles, very pale greenish-grey, 

 with dark green-grey dorsal and two subdorsal 

 stripes. The head and dorsal plate are large, pale 

 yellowish-brown with grey dots, the plate being semi- 

 circular in form ; the anal plate is hardly distinguish- 

 able.
