COLEOPHORA. 221 
Appears in June and July among ground-ivy (@lechoma hede- 
vacea), but rarely met with in the perfect state. The larva feeds 
from November to April on the leaves of the ground-ivy, but 
only on such plants as grow completely in the shelter of a hedge ; 
the mined places are at first whitish, but afterwards become of a 
pus dirty-brown; the case is rather long, slightly curved, dark 
rown. ‘The larva also (according to Bruand) feeds on Origanwm.

Head and face greyish-brown. Palpi paler. Antennze white, annulated 
with dark fuscous; the basal joint slightly thickened, greyish-brown, 
not tufted. Anterior wings unicolorous, fuscous-d/ack, with paler cilia. 
Posterior wings dark grey, with paler cilia. 
Abundant among hawthorn in June and July. The larva feeds 
on the leaves of the hawthorn, apple, pear, and sloe in May, in 
nearly straight cylindrical brown-black cases; the case of the 
young larva, which commences feeding in autumn, is curved, 
somewhat like a cornucopia. A larva probably also referable to 
this species feeds in May on the leaves of the birch.

Head, face, and palpi brownish-grey. Antenne whitish, annulated 
with fuscous, more faintly so towards the apex; the basal joint slightly 
thickened, fuscous, not tufted. Anterior wings unicolorous /uscous, 
more or less tinted with grey, with paler cilia, Posterior wings fus- 
cous, with paler cilia. 
Abundant among elms and alders in July. The larva feeds in 
May and June on the leaves of those trees in a brown case, rather 
stouter than that of nigriced/a; the young larva has a curved 
case. 
It is of the larva of this species that Mr. Spence has described 
the operations, from his own observations, on some larvae upon 
the alders in the Hull Botanic Garden (Kirby and Spence, 4th 
edit. vol. i. p. 459). Larvee probably referable to this species 
feed on the nut and hornbeam.
