This neighbourhood is rather rich in Tortricea — in quality, how- 

 ever, rather than in quantity, since only half the list have been taken — 

 177 species ; but this includes a long list of good ones. Ralias quer- 

 cana^ Tortrix cratcegana and cinnamomeana^ Dichelia Grotiana, Lepto- 

 gramma literanay Peronea aspersana, Ditula semifasciana, Fenthina 

 capreana, pr<Blongana, sauciana, marginana, and carhonana, Sericoris 

 hifasciana and micana, Eoxana arcuana, Euchromia purpurana^ Flwx- 

 opteryx siculana, hiarcuana, diminutanay derasana, and ramana, Grapholita 

 ohtusana and gemmana, Halonota nigricostana, tetragonana, and ephip- 

 pana, Oiindia ulmana, Retinea pinicolana, turionana, and pinivorana 

 Garpocapsa grossana^ Stigmonota perlepidana, puncticoatana^ and Oerma- 

 rana, Dicrorampha alpinana and sequana, Aylopoda pariana, Lohesia 

 Servillana, Eupwcilia amhiguana, curvistrigana, udana, rupicola^ and 

 subroseana, Chrosis Audouinana, Argyrolepia Baumanniana^ Dubrisana, 

 cnicana, and csneana. and two additions to the British list, Dicrorampha 

 /lavidorsana, and Eupoecilia Heydeniana. 



The Tineina are also fairly represented, as I have observed 370 

 species, considerably more than half the list, and feel sure that if the 

 genera Gelechia, Coleophora, ElacJiista^ and JSFepticula were properly 

 worked (by breeding especially) many more would be added. 



The district seems poor in FsychidcBj 4i species only having been 

 met with, and of one of these — opacella — only cases, which produced 

 nothing but a few Ichneumons. On the other hand, the Tineida show 

 50 species, including the entire genera Lampronia and MicropteryXj 

 all of Incurvaria, Nemophora^ and Adela^ except one species each. Of 

 the Oelechidce the genus Depressaria is well represented by 30 species ; 

 Oelechia not so well by 48. Of the Oracilaridce 20 species have 

 occurred, and of the genus Lithocolletis 32. 



The list of good species is so long as to be in danger of becoming 

 wearisome, but in it are included 3 novelties — Depressaria olerella, 

 Gelechia Knaggsiella, and Coleophora graminicolella ; also Xysmatodoma 

 melanella and argentimaculella, Ochsenheimeria Birdella, Scardia carpine- 

 tella, Tinea albipunctella, fulvimitrella,&nd nigripunctella, Incurvaria tenui- 

 cornis, Micropteryx mansuetella and salopiella, Nernotois cupriacella and 

 minimella, Hyponomeuta vigintipunctatus and plumbella, Eidophasia 

 Messingiella, Hypsolopha alpella and lucella, Harpipteryx scabrclla, 

 Fteroxia caudella, Depressa^-ia pallorella, carduella, pimpintll(je,pulcherri- 

 mella, and pastinacella, Psoricoptera gibbosella, Gelechia lentiginosella, 

 sororculella, basaltinella, 7'honibella, Lyellella, and voriicella, Macrochila 

 fasciella, Butalis senescens, Pancalia Latreillella, Roslerstamviia Erxlebelloy 

 Glyphipteryx oculatella,Echmia dentella, Tinagma resplendella^ Gracilaria
