334 GELEOHTA DOMESTICA. 



larger than the front pairs ; all are round and shining, 

 each with a fine hair; others are on the sides ; the 

 spiracles are of the ground colour; on the anal flap 

 on each side is a dark brown stripe, a little curved 

 and tapering to the tip, as seen in Cucullia umbratica. 

 Mr. Barrett bred from these larvae several specimens 

 of Gelechia domestica. (William Buckler, 1878 ; Note 

 Book III, 230.) 



Bndrosis fenestrella. 

 Plate CLXII, fig. 12. 



On the 6th of April, 1882, I found a larva under a 

 board in the wdndow-seat in my bed-room, which I 

 believed to be this species, and to be quite sure I 

 resolved to figure it and rear the moth. 



I kept it in a pill-box, with a few particles of old 

 bran, which it soon spun together at the bottom. 



On the 14th of April I disturbed it for figuring, and 

 saw it had made plenty of frass ; and on being put 

 back to its food, it soon spun the particles together to 

 the bottom and sides of the box. 



As I had in 1876 a lot of these larvae swarming in 

 the remains of some beehive comb sent me with larvae 

 and pupae of Galleria cerella (mellonella) by the Rev. 

 Henry Williams, I kept a few to breed from, and 

 they produced E. fenestrella. With the particles of 

 wax they constructed little tubes for habitation, some 

 of them an inch and a half to two inches long, of the 

 substance of a crow quill, adhering slightly to the side 

 of the box they were kept in, and when the moths 

 came out I was sorry I had not figured the larva of 

 this pest for identification and future reference. Now 

 I have a figure of this larva taken on the 14th of 

 April and the moth bred on the 18th of May, 1882. 



The full-grown larva is about half an inch in length, 

 slender, with reddish-brown head and darker mouth ; 

 a plate of similar colour is on the second segment, but
