ENDKOSIS FENESTEELLA. 335 



divided dorsally by the creamy-white ground colour of 

 the body, and having a margin of this next the head ; 

 the anal plate is faintly tinged with yellowish-brown ; 

 the segmental folds at the divisions show white. 



On the 12th of October I had two larvae on flour 

 dust in a box, which were at first supposed to be 

 Py rails farinalis. 



These larvae measured respectively 10 and 12 mm. in 

 length. The head is reddish-brown, one dark reddish- 

 brown ; in one the plate was dark brown, in the other 

 reddish brown ; the body was pallid flesh-colour, 

 tinged internally with greyish as far as the seventh 

 segment, with a pale brownish plate on the anal flap. 



On the 15th of April, 1883, a specimen emerged of 

 Uridrosis fenestrella, and the second pupa I killed.

Adaotyla bennetii.

In June and July Agdistes bennetii is very plentiful 

 around our island (near Portsmouth), flying over the 

 Statice limonium, which grows abundantly in our salt 

 marshes. I have often carefully watched the female, 

 but have never been able to detect her in the act of 

 depositing eggs, so that when or how this is done I 

 cannot say. 



Last autumn I detected small green larvae feeding 

 on the leaves of the S. limonium, which I thought 

 must belong to this species, but they were so unlike 

 any other lepidopterous larva that I am acquainted 

 with that I determined to let them alone until the 

 spring, when they would be larger. 



On the 1st of May last (1871) I walked to their 

 head-quarters, and, after a careful search, succeeded 

 in turning out about two dozen larvae. They were at 

 rest upon their food-plant, but fell off on the slightest
