CJiAMBUS PASCUELLUS. 291 



Orambus HAMELLUS. 



Mr. William Johnson, of Liverpool, sent me eggs of 

 Cr ambus hamellus which had been deposited on the 

 23rd and 30th of August, by moths taken on Chat 

 Moss ; they were obloug-oval, glossy, at first pale, but 

 soon changing to red. (George T. Porritt, Note Book, 

 1st September, 1880.) 



CitAMBUS PASCUELLUS. 



Eggs of Crambus pascuellus from moths captured 

 on Thome Waste, near Goole, Yorkshire, on the 9th 

 of July, 1881, were oval, without gloss, and salmon- 

 colour. (George T. Porritt, Note Book, 13th July, 

 1881.) 



Crambus hortuellus. 



On the 27th of June, 1881, I received a few eggs 

 laid loose, from Mr. W. H. B. Fletcher. 



The eggs were at first whitish, and soon turned 

 flesh-colour, and in a few days light brown, and by 

 the 5th of July they were rather deeper reddish- 

 brown, and on the 6th and 7th they hatched. In 

 shape the egg is roundish-oval, and it is rather 

 strongly ribbed. 



The young larvas are of a light reddish flesh-colour, 

 inclining to brownish ; the shining head and plate on 

 the second segment are reddish-brown, and a dorsal 

 vessel seen faintly through the skin is of the same 

 colour. (William Buckler, July, 1881; Note Book 

 IY, 74.) 



Early in March last, 1879, 1 found at roots of grass 

 and moss in one of my fields a few larvae of a Crambus 

 I was uncertain about, but which, at the end of June, 

 produced C. hortuellus.
